South Loop high-rise duplex with ‘protected’ skyline views seeks $1.25M

Unless talking about an east-facing condo along Lake Shore Drive, views in Chicago are rarely guaranteed. But in the case of this 12th-floor duplex condo in the South Loop’s Dearborn Tower, the downtown skyline vistas are about as close to “protected” as it comes. Overlooking the low-rise Dearborn Park subdivision, there is virtually no chance of any new buildings blocking its north views afforded by its 22-foot wraparound wall of windows.

The loft-like home features three bedrooms, three bathrooms, home office, and large kitchen with cherry cabinetry. Meanwhile, a large outdoor balcony makes a great perch for taking in the skyline as well as the future redevelopment of Related Midwest’s vacant 62-acre riverfront parcel to the northwest. The newly-listed, 3,100 square foot home is currently seeking $1,250,000 plus $1,588 in monthly HOA fees.
