Blog: Welcome to Cascade

There’s a lot of reasons why Chicago has been named the #1 Best Big City in the U.S. four years in a row. To live in Chicago is to live in one of the most exciting cities in the world and Lakeshore East is the location that puts you in the heart of it all. Home to Chicago’s newest apartment building, Cascade is steps from the Loop, the Chicago River, and Lake Michigan - truly an urban oasis.

Cascade offers studio to 3-bedroom apartments housed in a 37-story tower. Designed by bKL Architecture, Cascade offers over 45,000 square feet of amenities spanning over three floors. With innovative design and superior focus on greenspace inside and out, Cascade provides the perfect balance between urban living with the conveniences of a neighborhood community.

The Apartments:

Inspiration starts inside the walls of your home, where expansive windows provide views of the lake and the city, and thoughtful design guides every detail and finish. Choose from studios to three-bedroom apartments, with nine-foot-high ceilings, six-inch plank floors, keyless entry, USB outlets, Nest thermostats, in-unit laundry, wood core doors, light-controlling roller shades, and walk-in closets. In the kitchen, you’ll find cabinet-finished appliances from Bosch, as well as DARA cabinetry by Snaidero Chicago. Bathrooms feature bathtubs with Hansgrohe fixtures and frameless glass showers, and select apartments include outdoor balconies where the feel of the breeze from the lake and the scent of your own private garden bring you the outdoors, nature, expansiveness, and light.

The Amenities:

The main amenity level will be your new home away from home. Here you can do laps in the 25-yard pool, enjoy a massage at the spa, hit the fitness center, where views of the lake will entice you to complete just one more round, practice yoga in the dedicated studio, watch a movie in the screening room, meet neighbors for a drink in the lounge, take some time for yourself while the kids have fun in the indoor play space, or get some friends together for a jam session in the music room.

At the lobby level, residents can enjoy summer in the city with Cascade’s private outdoor pool with cabanas, an innovatively designed tiered lawn, with access to a fire pit, grilling area, a billiards lounge, and a library.

On the 32nd-floor residents will find the stunning Lakefront Terrace, offering some of the best views of Navy Pier and Lake Michigan. Residents can test their cooking skills in the communal chef’s kitchen or relax in the adjacent TV lounge.
