Chicago is widely considered to be one of the most dog-friendly cities in the country. With over 20 individual off-leash dog parks in the town and dozens of high-rise condo buildings that not only allow dogs inside the building, but also feature a host of in-building amenities that specifically relate to pet owners, it's certainly hard to argue otherwise.
But if you're looking for a new condo or home for sale around the downtown area however, pet facilities are a bit more scarce and there aren't quite as many dog parks available to home owners on, say, the north and west sides of town.

With a coveted location right along infamous Michigan Avenue, the luxury condos of 1000 S Michigan present an extraordinary new option in upscale living within one of Chicago’s most exciting areas. The condos of 1000M are now listed on the market, with a prime address just across from Grant Park and mere steps from the lakefront.
What’s now a parking lot could soon turn into a new 10-story building on Jefferson Street. A developer hopes to gain a special use zoning variation to construct the new residential mid-rise building close to Union Station.
The glassy new tower proposed for 1326 S. Michigan has officially received the “okay” from the city to begin construction, according to a new report out from Curbed Chicago that also outlines only the foundation permits have been issued to this point.
As first reported by the Chicago Tribune, ground has officially been broken on Essex on the Park, a high-profile new apartment tower located at 808 S. Michigan Avenue in the South Loop. But as impressive as this new 479-unit tower looks, it’s not the only major project underway around this part of the neighborhood.
Although Chicago’s downtown market might appear to be oversaturated with new upscale apartment residences, the development boom seems to be pushing forward as reports surface about a new 199-unit tower possibly making its way over to the South Loop.
