A 7-story, 150-unit residential condominium loft building located in Chicago’s prestigious Streeterville neighborhood; situated in an impeccable location facing Lake Michigan, Navy Pier, and central to many of Chicago’s cultural, recreational entertainment, and shopping attractions. The 540 N. Lake Shore Drive building was constructed in two phases; the east facing portion of the building, fronting Lake Shore Drive, was completed in 1914 and used by the Krasberg Engineering and Manufacturing Corporation, maker of phonograph equipment. The western portion of the building was constructed in 1919. After several decades of light manufacturing use, portions of the building became home to Columbia College in 1963. In 1977, the building was rehabilitated into 150 apartments, and then eventually converted into condominiums in 1992. It remains one of the neighborhood's last remaining true loft residences with unique characteristics i.e., high-ceilings, timber and exposed brick throughout.

540 N Lake Shore Dr is a condo located in Cook County and the 60611 ZIP Code.

Neighborhood

Streeterville is an urban neighborhood just north of downtown Chicago with tourist attractions, incredible lake views, and a picturesque city scape. Streeterville houses Northwestern University and is known for its welcoming community. The neighborhood’s main attraction is the Navy Pier, a former Navy training center, that’s been transformed into a tourism haven. Carnival rides, gift shops, eateries, lakefront views, beer garden, and evening fireworks in the summer months make for an incredible one-stop-shop for fun. There’s a wide variety of dining options in town, from four-star French cuisine to casual pub fare.

Downtown’s Museum of Contemporary Art is a big hit with locals and tourists, as is 360 Chicago that offers views from the 94th floor of the John Hancock Building complete with a tilting glass overlooking the city. The Ohio Street Beach is a popular public sandy spot on the lake with a beachside eatery, Caffe Olivia.
