apartment project at 347 W. Chestnut in Chicago’s River North neighborhood, has

five-star services, is 85 percent leased.

“NEXT has led the way for
high-rise residential living in this rapidly emerging tech corridor and set the
standard for rentals in the neighborhood,” said Randy Fifield, chairwoman of Fifield Realty Corp.
“Young urban
professionals, graduate students and older millennials with young children are
just a few of the groups choosing the luxury lifestyle available at NEXT.
"They
want a world-class, amenity-rich building that is not just near work, but also
in proximity to the city’s top schools, restaurants, shopping, parks and
entertainment.”
Luxury apartments at NEXT
range from 426 to 1,727 square feet, with a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom
units available, along with two- and three-bedroom penthouses.
Homes feature
nine-foot ceilings, oversized windows, plank flooring, quartz countertops, tile
backsplashes, Grohe faucets, closet organizers, oak-faced flat paneled cabinets
and GE stainless steel appliances. Private balconies and master bedroom walk-in
closets are available in select units.

“Before NEXT’s opening in
late September 2016, there had been little high-rise residential construction
during the last few years between Chicago Avenue and Division Street,” said Steve Fifield, chairman of Fifield Cos.
“Today, there are other
developers following our lead in this community and recognizing how fast the
area has grown and changed — and how demand for well-designed buildings with
top-of-the-line finishes will continue. In spite of beginning our leasing
during the traditionally slower fall/winter period, we are ahead of our own
projections and industry expectations. And we expect lease-up at NEXT to stay
strong.”
NEXT residents have daily
access to a state-of-the-art fitness center with special class offerings and an
indoor/outdoor yoga studio; media room with oversized TV with surround sound;
demonstration kitchen; coffee bar; gaming arcade; business center and
conference room; “bicycle kitchen” with storage, supplies, tools and air pumps;
dog spa; and an outdoor pool, spa and sun terrace complete with cabanas, a fire
pit, and outdoor grilling kitchens with pergolas and seating.

Building residents also
receive daily greetings from their well-known four-legged neighbor Daisy, an
80-pound Newfoundland that lives onsite and is NEXT’s official “House Dog.”
“Not only can our
residents be close to everything downtown has to offer, but they also can get a
great workout, host the best parties, have efficient business meetings, and
enjoy some cuddles with a sweet, friendly dog without committing to pet
ownership,” said Randy Fifield.
“Our goal at NEXT is to offer residents the
best of everything and to make their daily routines a little easier. They can
even count on our staff to organize fun, educational events and arrange
partnerships with local businesses that contribute to their overall health and
wellness.”
Located just two blocks
from the CTA’s Brown/Purple Line stations at Franklin Street and Chicago
Avenue, and a short walk to the Red Line station at North and Clybourn, NEXT
offers convenient access to the Loop. It is also within proximity of popular
River North dining and nightlife destinations, parks, and grocery stores such
as Whole Foods, Jewel-Osco and Target.
