About this property
55th-Floor 3BR Duplex Penthouse Lake & City Views
Summary:
Experience Chicago from a true 55th-floor duplex penthouse in the heart of River North. This spacious 3BR/2BA home offers approx. 2,200 sq. ft., sleeps 8, and features a dramatic two-story living room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline. The iconic John Hancock Center anchors the view, and when scheduled, you can even watch Navy Pier fireworks from high above the city.
The Space:
This is not simply another downtown 3-bedroom apartment. It is a true 55th-floor duplex penthouse with approximately 2,200 sq. ft. of living space, spectacular views, and room for up to 8 guests.
The centerpiece of the penthouse is the dramatic two-story living room, where soaring floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic views of Chicago and Lake Michigan. The iconic John Hancock Center (875 N Michigan) anchors the skyline, creating an impressive backdrop day and night.
When Navy Pier's seasonal fireworks are scheduled, you can even enjoy the show from high above the city without leaving the penthouse.
A gas fireplace provides another focal point for the living area, while the spacious duplex layout gives families, friends and groups plenty of room to gather together or spread out.

GROCERY STORE IN THE BUILDING
One of the property's most convenient features is having a full-service Jewel-Osco right in the building.
Guests can order groceries online before arrival, pick them up downstairs, and take them directly up to the penthouse.
It's an easy way to have breakfast items, snacks, beverages and groceries ready for your stay without spending vacation time making a separate trip to the store.
For families and larger groups, this can be especially convenient—you can arrive in Chicago, collect your pre-ordered groceries downstairs, and head straight up to your 55th-floor penthouse.
The Neighborhood:
The penthouse is located in the heart of River North, one of Chicago's most vibrant and walkable downtown neighborhoods.
Restaurants, nightlife, shopping, coffee shops and entertainment surround the building. Many of River North's most popular restaurants are just outside your door.
The Chicago Riverwalk and Magnificent Mile are an easy walk, putting some of Chicago's best-known attractions, shopping and dining within convenient reach.
One of the best parts of the location is the contrast: enjoy everything downtown Chicago has to offer, then return to the space and privacy of your 55th-floor penthouse above the city.
Getting Around:
**Getting around Chicago couldn't be easier from Grand Plaza. With a Walk Score of 100 and excellent public transportation just outside the building, a car is not necessary for most stays.**
