What 1000M’s Recent News Means for Future Residents

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.
