A New Chapter in Downtown Chicago Living
2024 and 2025 have been landmark years for 1000M. After topping out, finishing major construction phases, and debuting its showroom and model homes — 1000M officially celebrated its grand opening in June 2024, marking the start of move-ins.
With hundreds of leases already underway, the building isn’t just another high-rise — it’s now a fully active residential community.
What the Numbers Say — Scale, Design & Amenities
- 1000M offers 738 apartment homes — ranging from studios to 4-bedroom penthouses.
- The building boasts more than 80,000 square feet of indoor & outdoor amenity space — the largest in Chicago’s rental market.
- Designed by famed architect Helmut Jahn and interior-designed by Kara Mann, 1000M brings thought-through layouts, sweeping city/lake/park views, and premium finishes to residents.
Why This Matters for Prospective Residents
- Reliability & credibility — The transition from construction milestones to move-ins shows 1000M has successfully gone from a project to a living community.
- First-hand access — With the showroom and model units open, prospects can now tour actual homes and amenity spaces, helping you make confident leasing decisions.
- Long-term value — The scale (hundreds of units), attention to design, and robust amenity package suggest 1000M isn’t a “flash-in-the-pan” offering, but a serious long-term residence — a compelling narrative for renters looking for stability.
