West Loop
Chicago's culinary capital. The market agrees.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD STORY

The West Loop's transformation from meatpacking district to Chicago's most restaurant-dense neighborhood is one of urban America's most remarkable stories — and the residential market that has grown alongside it reflects a sustained, multi-decade confidence in the neighborhood's trajectory that has been consistently rewarded. Randolph Street's Restaurant Row is nationally recognized as one of America's great dining streets. The Fulton Market district has attracted technology and creative company headquarters. And the Google Chicago campus has brought a technology industry presence that reinforces the neighborhood's position.

HOMES & ARCHITECTURE

The West Loop's residential market is defined by the tension between its industrial heritage and its luxury ambitions. Converted warehouse and industrial loft condominiums — high ceilings, concrete floors, exposed ductwork, and loading dock-scale windows — are the neighborhood's most architecturally distinctive product. New construction luxury high-rises and boutique condo buildings have multiplied rapidly.
