WORLD CLASS

Developed by Irish property development company Shelbourne Development Group and designed by globally-acclaimed architect Santiago Calatrava, at 2000 feet (609.6 metres) and comprising 150 storeys, The Chicago Spire - situated in a prime location where Lake Michigan meets the Chicago River in cosmopolitan, downtown Chicago - will be the tallest residential building in the world, home to 1194 individual residences and a range of amenities to rival any on the planet.

UNIQUE IN DESIGN

No two residences will be alike, with each suite, gallery (larger than a suite) and one, two, three and four bedroom apartments and penthouses offering a unique floor plan and spectacular, panoramic views of the city and lakefront via floor-to-ceiling windows.
HEALTH, BEAUTY & FITNESS

Spanning five floors, the significant amenity spaces have been designed to attend to matters of the mind, body and spirit.

The Chicago Spire offers a series of specialised services dedicated to preventative fitness and health, with personalised, medically supervised workout areas, while the gym features elegant locker rooms; a basketball court; a climbing wall; a golf simulator and classrooms for group exercises.

The lounge area offers a food and beverage service and a relaxing place to meet friends and fellow residents.

THE ARCHITECT - SANTIAGO CALATRAVA

Santiago Calatrava is considered one of the world's most influential and inspirational architects, engineer and sculptor. His works take materials like concrete, glass and steel beyond the normal bounds.

Calatrava is celebrated for creating beautiful, meaningful architecture and is renowned for various noteworthy projects, including the Opera House in Valencia, Spain and Olympic Sports Complex in Athens, Greece.

Commenting on The Chicago Spire, which has been described as a work of art and an engineering triumph, he says his inspiration was derived from nature, geometry, form and structure – and a desire to create an uplifting living space.

To own a piece of Calatrava is to own a piece of absolute beauty and genius.

Sales of the apartments in The Chicago Spire are being boosted by an excellent investor package, which offers a rental guarantee of 7.5% for two years post completion.
