Century Tower

Century Tower

SUMMARY

A vintage, luxury Chicago high-rise, Century Tower is located at 182 West Lake Street and features 292 residential apartments in the heart of Chicago’s Loop. Built in 1930 and on the National Register of Historic Places, the building was converted from office to multifamily rentals in 2001, and then converted to condominiums in 2006. Golub & Company and USAA Real Estate acquired Century Tower in 2018. Following the acquisition, Golub de-converted the existing condominium association and renovated the residential units and shared amenity spaces to offer them as rental apartments.

Century Tower is located one block from the Chicago River, and its proximity to the CTA Clark/Lake station provides access to all of downtown Chicago, as well as the rest of the city. The building is known for its grand lobby, featuring Numidian marble walls and Napoleon gray marble floors, bronze elevator doors, and Art Deco architectural flourishes. The renovation preserved these elements, while re-orienting the resident entrance through the grand lobby, updating residential units with contemporary finishes and technological improvements acre, and enhancing the shared amenity spaces, including a fitness center, co-working space, game and lounge room, and roof deck.
