CHICAGO, IL – Chicago-based RMK Management Corp. has
welcomed the first residents at 73 East Lake, a 42-story apartment
building in Chicago’s Loop. This makes the luxury tower, which has leased more
than 20 percent of its 332 units, the first new-construction apartment tower to
open in 2014.
It is also the first
luxury rental development in Chicago by developer M & R Development since
it opened Parc Huron in the River North neighborhood in 2010.
“Welcoming the first
residents to a building is always one of the most exciting milestones at any
development, but it’s especially so in this case as these are also the first
move-ins for all of the new-construction luxury towers opening this year,” said
Anthony Rossi, Sr., president of Chicago based M & R Development and
RMK Management Corp.
“There has been – and continues to be – a lot of interest
in 73 E Lake, and we’re proud to show it off.”
Designed by
architect Solomon Cordwell Buenz (SCB), 73 East Lake includes 183 indoor
parking spaces and 332 units ranging in size from 682 to 1,246 square feet.
Plans include convertible/studio-style layouts, one-bedroom/one-bath layouts,
and two-bedroom/two-bath layouts.
The apartments offer
a high level of interior finishes including GE stainless steel appliances and
Venatino Quartz countertops in the kitchen, 9-foot ceilings, hardwood flooring,
floor-to-ceiling windows, and a full-sized in-unit washer and dryer.

“When designing apartments for urban living, making the most
of the space is essential. So we incorporated a number of flexible design
elements into 73 East Lake’s residences, like a built-in desk, a moveable
kitchen island, and an opaque glass sliding partition in the convertibles for
privacy,” said Rossi.
Rossi also noted the building offers a number of high-tech
features including built-in flat panel television support with cable
management, raised power outlets, and pre-wired high speed internet in all
rooms featuring Category 6 Ethernet cable.
Both AT&T and Comcast services
are available offering the residents the flexibility to choose providers. Wifi
is also available throughout the building,
73 East Lake also offers three floors of luxury amenities,
including the 9th and 10th floors with an indoor pool; oversized spa with
waterfall; sauna and steam rooms; a state-of-the-art fitness gym with separate
fitness room featuring a Fitness on Request class kiosk, and a Core Fitness
studio ideal for personal training sessions.
