Aqua

Take your lifestyle to the next level with Chicago Aqua Lakeshore East Condominiums. You can see from the outside that this building is something special. It's simply beautiful.  This highrise is sophisticated yet affordable, great for the up-and-coming professional or young couple planning to raise a family in style.

Of course, a building is only as good as the neighborhood in which it is located, and this neighborhood is fantastic. You will be near Millennium Park, but closer still to the 6-acre Park at Lakeshore East. There are pathway gardens, an area for the children to play, fountains and a dog park. This gorgeous building is part of a community of six luxury highrises already launched in the Lakeshore East District.

Your balcony will be unlike any other, as each balcony is unique.

There are way too many amenities to fit into a short article, so here are the highlights. These condos feature gourmet kitchens, with soaker tubs and walk-in showers in the master bedroom. The Shore Club itself has too many amenities, like a fitness center and spa, cardio and weight room, massage room, hot tub, yoga and pilates studio, even a media room with theater-style seating. And those are just a few of the cool things you'll find there. The building features a sundeck and gardens, running track, pool and hot tub, gazebos and poolside cabanas, a fire pit, barbecue areas and an outdoor shower.

You will never have to leave this Chicago luxury condo, especially since there is a business center and Internet cafe. Game and billiards room. Club suite with catering kitchen. A library. A coffee bar and lounge.
