Stunning views add an intangible — and unparalleled — sense of elegance and exclusivity to a residence. Located steps from Lake Michigan, the new luxury apartments at Cascade provide residents with spectacular waterfront vistas of the lake and the skyline of Downtown Chicago. The picturesque views aren’t the only amenities you will find at these Lakeshore East apartments. Designed by the celebrated bKL Architecture and developed by Lendlease and Magellan, this 37-story crystalline tower boasts an all-glass facade for jaw-dropping floor-to-ceiling views and offers amenity spaces that span over 45,000 square feet across three floors.
Residents can find a variety of locations throughout Cascade to enjoy the view options — just steps from the center of Downtown, the Chicago River, and Lake Michigan — on the easternmost parcel of Lakeshore East. High above the city, on the 32nd floor, sits Cascade’s Lakefront Terrace. From this luxurious private perch, residents can take in the evening as they watch the sunset or enjoy what feels like their own fireworks show from Navy Pier. Guests can dine al fresco on creations whipped up in the communal chef’s kitchen, which can also serve to accommodate catering options if you’d rather sit back and let the professionals do the work. The 32nd floor also features a TV lounge and a quiet study corner for a change of scenery while working from home.
On the lobby floor, residents can take in serene lake views while lounging poolside outdoors in one of the private cabanas. This outdoor space is also perfect for starting the day with a coffee or even getting in a workout. When the sun’s out, tiered sunning lawns offer spots for sprawling, relaxing, and getting a healthy dose of vitamin D. Fire pits and grilling areas provide welcoming settings for entertaining, barbecuing dinner, roasting marshmallows, or just having a warm and cozy retreat during the cooler Chicago months.
Of course, residents can also revel in magnificent views from the comfort of their own homes. While floor-to-ceiling glass windows showcase a seemingly endless horizon of placid blue waters, expansive nine-foot ceilings create a dramatic and open feeling to each home. The views complement exquisite design details like six-inch-wide plank flooring as well as top-of-the-line appliances and quartz countertops in the kitchens. Private outdoor terraces in select homes allow residents to appreciate the panoramic views directly, adding fresh air and abundant sunlight to the comforts of home at Cascade.
But the views are just the beginning. Live where the city, the lake, and the river are at your feet. Schedule a tour and see these luxury apartments in Downtown Chicago for yourself.
