A Day in the Life at 1000M

What It’s Like to Live in Chicago’s Newest Luxury Tower

Morning: Wake Up in the Heart of the City

Imagine starting your day at 1000M: floor-to-ceiling windows frame soft morning light over the Chicago skyline or a glimmering Lake Michigan. A short elevator ride takes you to the ground-floor lobby — where you grab your morning coffee and head into the building’s fitness center for a quick workout or yoga session. With interiors by Kara Mann and architecture by Helmut Jahn, your apartment feels both modern and homey, setting the tone for a productive day.

Midday: Work, Run Errands, or Take a Break by the Lake

Working from home? Head to one of 1000M’s coworking or lounge spaces — a change of scenery from your apartment — to focus or take calls. Once you’re done, walk just a few minutes to the nearby lakefront or Grant Park for a refreshing break, or stroll around the South Loop to grab lunch.

Afternoon: Fitness, Wellness or Leisure

Feeling like a little “me time”? 1000M’s two-level fitness and wellness center has you covered. Or maybe a dip in the indoor pool, a quick sauna, or some stretching in a yoga studio — choices abound depending on your energy and mood. With building amenities designed for flexibility, you stay active without leaving home.

Evening: Sky-High Views & Social Vibes

As the sun sets, head up to the 73rd-floor observation deck — the highest residential observation deck in Chicago — for panoramic views of city lights, lake, and skyline. Lounge with neighbors, toast to the day, or simply enjoy the view from the open-air terrace and Wintergarden lounge. It’s a prime spot for quiet reflection or small gatherings.

Weekend Mode: From Culture to Relaxation

Weekends might look like: museum visits at the nearby Museum Campus, a jog along the lakefront trail, brunch in the South Loop, then back for a relaxing swim or spa moment at home. Whether you’re craving calm, culture, or connection — 1000M gives you access to it all.
