The Result

Like the menu at your favorite gourmet restaurant, SKY55 features something for many tastes, including a complete slate of living options.  

SKY55’s main component is a 411-unit apartment building. This elegantly curved, cast-in-place, concrete structure is covered in an iridescent blue window system. It is joined by 1251 S. Michigan Avenue – a red-brick, mid-rise building for active adults 62 years of age or better. The 91-unit structure – which is connected to SKY55 through the lobby – creates an enclave for active adults to call their own, while fully including them in the community as a whole.

In addition, 20 percent of SKY55’s units have been set aside for affordable housing.

“It’s all about creating a welcoming atmosphere. SKY55 is more than just an apartment complex. It’s a comfortable residential community,” Tobias said.

Each SKY55 residence features the details of a four-star hotel, including framed mirrors and wall sconces. In addition, SKY55 offers residents three different trim levels to select from.

In SKY55’s market-price apartments, residents will find hardwood floors, stainless steel Whirlpool appliances, beige-speckle granite countertops, 36-inch oversized cabinetry and contemporary bath fixtures.

Residents looking to move upmarket can choose SKY55’s upgraded Signature package, which includes: upgraded hardwood floors, stainless steel Kitchen Aid appliances, black granite countertops, 42-inch oversized cherry cabinetry and upgraded bath fixtures.

With raised ceilings, upgraded bath fixtures, platform tubs and glass showers, SKY55’s penthouses – which come with access to an exclusive amenities lounge – provide lavish comforts and high style.

Indeed, residents have quite a menu from which to choose, with 10 one-bedroom floor plans, six two-bedroom floor plans and 10 penthouse floor plans.

With its distinctive luxury, exemplary services and amenities, unparalleled views and incredible access to everything the Windy City has to offer, it’s no wonder that people are choosing the maintenance-free, mortgage-free and hassle-free lifestyle of SKY55.

Indeed, SKY55 at Central Station gives residents the freedom and service to go where they want to go and do what they want to do. It’s life – on your own terms. Or as Frank Sinatra crooned, “My Way.”
