First, if you work from home and want to get out of your apartment, there are some excellent options to set up shop in a coworking space. Head up to the 31st floor and explore your options. The library is beautiful (and quiet, shhh) and a great space to focus on a big project. 

Nearby, the sprawling resident lounge is the perfect hangout to work or socialize. Intimate seating areas were thoughtfully designed to offer you a place to chill out with friends or neighbors. On cold winter evenings, gather near the fireplace with a book or good conversation with your new neighbors.

Just off the resident lounge is 1400 South Wabash’s game room. And somehow, the designers even made this space ultra-refined. Grab a neighbor for a game of pool or round up a few friends and start a weekly game-night tradition. 

And finally, nothing says community like a party! If you need space to entertain, the demonstration kitchen is where it’s at! Also on the 31st floor, it’s a gorgeous space to host a birthday party, or wedding shower, or impress your friends with your signature dish.

WORK-FROM-HOME LUXURY APARTMENTS IN SOUTH LOOP

Working from home – it’s here to stay! That’s why more and more luxury apartments in Chicago are designed for residents who need room to live, sleep and work. The designers at 1400 South Wabash have knocked this concept out of the park. 

Take a look at the layout of this convertible apartment. At 597 square feet, it feels spacious and has a nice separation between the open living space and bedroom area. And, there’s enough room for a desk against the window. An office with a view sounds pretty sweet, right?

This 1-bedroom unit is perfect if you need a home office. It has a den tucked away from your living room and bedroom, creating a true office space, without having to rent a two-bedroom unit. And yes – that’s a guest bathroom too- such a treat for renters who spend their days and nights in their apartment!

This 2-bedroom, 2-bath unit is hands-down my favorite floor plan. At 1,102 square feet, it’s huge and has so much room to spread out. The split bedroom floorplan is ideal, especially for roommates, or when you’re hosting company. Having a dining space this large in an apartment is really unusual, and I’m guessing most residents will turn it into a great home office. 

But, it’s the floor-to-ceiling windows and outdoor terrace that’s going to win your heart! Absolutely massive, the view spans the entire length of the unit. You’ll find so much delight in renting an apartment with a balcony in South Loop. The views, the skyline, the lake breeze – it’s all yours when you live in this 2-bedroom apartment at 1400 South Wabash.
