CHICAGO, May 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- LMC, a leader in
apartment development and management, today announced the start of
leasing at Marlowe, a luxury mixed-use apartment community
integrated with smart-home technology in the vibrant River North
neighborhood.
The 15-story community, which features 176 apartment homes,
boasts a boutique-inspired hotel feel equipped with the most
comprehensive smart-home technology available in an apartment
community in the Chicago River North neighborhood. The building
will open in phases, with floors 2-6 to begin move-ins on
May 24. Floors 7-14 and the
15th-floor amenity deck are scheduled to open
July 1.
"Chicago's River North is home
to a large population of creative professionals who want a cultural
experience that integrates the technological conveniences they
expect, and smart apartments are a natural fit for residents drawn
to River North," said Doug Bober,
division president of Central and Midwest for LMC. "Apartment
residents have heightened expectations for a tech-enabled living
experience. We believe that combining these smart-home conveniences
with an incredible architectural design will not only meet the
demand of today's renter – it will surpass it."
Among the technologies incorporated into every apartment home
are a Ruckus Router, Honeywell Lyric smart thermostat, a Sonos One
with Alexa and Lutron Pico Remotes for dimming lights and
controlling smart-home speakers. Select homes will feature Lutron
Roller Shades, which can be controlled from a smartphone.
Marlowe's boutique ambiance exudes from the site's rich history
and complements the technology. Constructed on the site of a former
barbershop chair manufacturing company at 169 W. Huron Street,
Marlowe's design theme of "urban bistro meets vintage barbershop"
includes light-yet-clean subway tile, rich textures and hues, and
other vintage common-area aesthetics that serve as an ode to its
past and a reflection of modern-day luxury.
The community also incorporates ground-floor retail, including a
Limitless coffee shop integrated into the residential lobby, which
accentuates the boutique feel and connects the community to the
artistic vibe of the River North neighborhood. The neighborhood
contains an eclectic mix of cultural, entertainment and retail
opportunities with attractions ranging from Chicago Film Tour,
Richard H. Driehaus Museum, Green Door Tavern and The Shops at
North Bridge. A wide variety of local cuisine options include
Wildfire Chicago, Prosecco, Frontera Grill, Beatrix, Roka Akor, and Three Dots and a Dash.
Marlowe consists of studio, convertible, 1- and 2-bedroom
apartment homes ranging in square footage from 431 to 1,580.
Apartment interiors include floor-to-ceiling windows with city
views, quartz countertops, wood-style premium flooring,
stainless-steel appliances with gas stovetop, designer tile
backsplashes, custom lighting fixtures and textured floor tiles in
bathrooms.
Community amenities include the skyline deck, which features an
outdoor lap pool and stunning views of the city, an outdoor kitchen
with grill spaces, lobby with fireplace, community lounge with
gaming tables and bar, fitness studio with flex fitness space and a
pet run/pet wash with owner's lounge. Residents will also have
access to self-service package and dry cleaning lockers, community
library, electric-vehicle charging stations and bike storage.
Including Marlowe, LMC has developed three apartment communities
in the Chicago area. Additional
communities include The Brook on Janes (located in Bolingbrook) and The Emerson (located in
Oak Park). Each community opened
in 2017.
