Luxury Living Chicago Realty achieves leasing milestone for the 140-unit luxury apartment building 

 

Luxury Living Chicago Realty (LLCR) announces Panorama, a new BlitzLake development in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood, has hit the 100% leased milestone. The 140-unit luxury apartment building began leasing in January of this year.

 

“We began pre-leasing Panorama in mid-January and are excited to announce that this is one of the fastest lease-ups we have ever completed,” said Aaron Galvin, CEO & Founder of Luxury Living Chicago Realty, the exclusive marketing and leasing provider for Panorama. “This property delivered at the perfect time, offering renters an upscale yet attainable option in Lakeview.”

 

Conveniently located at the northwest corner of Clark and School streets, the development offers luxury units ranging from studios to two-bedrooms, new retail space, and parking for 22 vehicles. Created by noted architecture firm bKL Architects, Panorama features a masonry exterior with large, deep-set windows and the interior features premium finishes and amenities such as salt quartz countertops, Moen and Kohler chrome fixtures, nine-foot exposed concrete ceilings, and smart phone controlled door locks.

 

Panorama was designed to embody the spirit of community and convenience under one roof with additional community amenities including an on-site dog spa, Amazon hub package lockers, and lounges designed to meet work-from-home or private study needs. 

 

The penthouse level is home to a state-of-the-art fitness center with private training, on-demand fitness, an expansive yoga room, and PELOTON and Technogym fitness equipment, a theater room, and a chef’s kitchen as well as a rooftop terrace with sweeping views that inspired the building’s name. 

 

“When we set out to develop Panorama, the goal was to provide an alternative to the vintage walk-ups and aging high rises prevalent in the area,” said David Blitz, CEO of BlitzLake. “We are very proud of this asset and the market’s reaction to it.”

 

Panorama is well located for transit, including the Brown and Red Lines, as well as bus and bike routes to downtown. Bordering the Wrigleyville, Southport Corridor, and Boystown neighborhoods, residents are close to conveniences such as restaurants, farmer’s markets, lakefront parks, and shopping. With a 96 Walk Score, this area of Lakeview has become a destination for both locals and transplants to the city.
