One of the newest additions to Printer’s Row, The Reed brings 41 floors of elegance and luxury to the heart of this historic Chicago neighborhood. Opened in 2023 as part of the Southbank Project, this community contributes to the developer’s vision of an “inclusive and sustainable neighborhood” in the 7 acres surrounding Southbank Park.
The building houses 440 luxury units – 216 condominiums and 224 rental apartments – and boasts over 25,000 square feet of amenities. Despite its towering, modern features, The Reed thoughtfully incorporates the historic character of the neighborhood and the acres of greenspace surrounding it. Its design pays homage to the area’s industrial history, while large windows and open spaces allow light from the neighboring park to fill the building. Moreover, “warm and welcoming” finishes transform the industrial vibe into an inviting and indulgent place to live. The lobby winds like water, mirroring the Chicago River, and the second-floor amenity space sits at eye-level with Southbank Park, bridging the divide between indoor & outdoor spaces, according to project architect Perkins+Will.
Residents of The Reed will enjoy some of the best amenities in Chicago. Nature lovers and pet owners will appreciate the proximity to grassy lawns & walking trails. Those who enjoy hosting will have plenty of space to entertain by the outdoor fire pit, rooftop game lawn, poolside cabanas, or dining room. Fitness buffs can work out in luxury at the fitness club, take a private class at the motion studio, book a massage in the salon rooms, or use the bike storage & wash station. And, those who work from home can focus in the study rooms or get a change of scenery at the river lounge.
