Tribune Tower Residences

SUMMARY

In 2016, Golub & Company and CIM Group formed a joint venture to purchase the Tribune Tower. Featuring an existing 737,000 square foot, 36-story office building which was converted into 162 luxury residential condominium units and 47,000 square feet of prime Michigan Avenue retail.

One of Chicago’s most treasured historic landmarks, the property benefits from the iconic architecture, its storied Chicago history and superior location at the convergence of the Chicago River and Michigan Avenue. Originally constructed in 1925, the tower was located adjacent to an existing printing plant. In 1935, the Radio Building was added to the site, followed by the Television Building in 1950. In 2018, the 34-story Chicago landmark office tower and surrounding buildings was converted into 162 luxury condominium units.

The tower’s historic façade was preserved and restored, ensuring its continued architectural stature. The original entry and tower lobby were preserved and remain open to the public. The retail frontage of the original printing plant was also redeveloped, activating a reimagined Pioneer Court and public plaza.

Four additional floors were added to the northeast side above the TV Building, providing a modern, glass complement to the existing limestone façades. This addition frames a new elevated courtyard, providing a shared greenspace for residents. A full luxury amenity program is dispersed throughout the building, including several unique spaces. A pool and terrace are nestled behind the original Chicago Tribune sign, while a lounge and a wrap-around terrace at the tower’s crown gives residents a one-of-a-kind experience beneath the iconic, gothic buttresses.
