River North LoftsThere are plenty of options and opportunities when it comes to buying a loft in Chicago. But right now, several buildings standout as being top locations to consider heading into the busy spring market.

The Ronsley

For New York-style loft living in River North, you’ll want to take a second look at The Ronsley. The property is home to around 40 lofts, complete with large windows and high ceilings.

Ontario Street Lofts

Found at 411 W Ontario, the Ontario Street Lofts include access to a rooftop deck, fitness center and a bike room. The property currently offers up a number of one-, two-, and even three-bedroom units for buyers to choose from.

Haberdasher Square Lofts

Once the site of a clothing factory, the Haberdasher Square Lofts now combine historic appeal with more modern conveniences. The property includes more than 220 lofts with timber beams, large windows and exposed concrete columns.

900 N. Kingsbury

Found on the Near North Side, 900 N Kingsbury is a full-amenity building with a fitness room and a roof deck. The property also offers the option of heated garage parking, just a short walk from everything.

1000 W. Washington

The 1000 Washington Lofts, in comparison, are filled with character. Situated in West Loop, you’ll find flats and tri-level lofts throughout the property, as well as a sun deck and bike storage.

8 W. Monroe

If you haven't considered the lofts at 8 W. Monroe yet, we think it's time to take a look. Centrally located right in the heart of the Loop, living at 8 W. Monroe couldn't be more convenient and most units here also have more of a "soft loft" look and feel, which is perfect for buyers who want the best of both worlds. And did we also mention it's a relatively affordable building? Look for a one-bedroom loft at 8 W. Monroe to start somewhere in the low $200,000s.

1040 W. Adams

Dubbed the No. Ten Lofts, 1040 W. Adams remains one of our favorite loft buildings. It's a lower-rise building but still maintains an authentic urban vibe that blends in perfectly with its West Loop surroundings. Additionally, lofts for sale at 1040 W. Adams typically have all the features you'd want in a big city loft, including ultra high timber ceilings, large windows, exposed brick, and even spacious private balconies.
