_____________________________________________
The 1000M tower, located in Chicago's South Loop district, is a testament to architectural innovation and luxury living. Designed by the late Helmut Jahn, it stands as his final masterpiece, embodying sophistication and structural ingenuity. Originally conceived as condominiums, the project underwent significant transformation, resulting in 738 apartments catering to diverse lifestyles.
Construction, led by James McHugh Construction Co., faced challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic but persisted due to unwavering commitment. Financial shifts and market dynamics prompted a pivot from condos to apartments, aligning with demand for luxury residences. Despite Jahn's passing, developers remained dedicated to honoring his legacy.
Designed by JAHN and Kara Mann Design, the tower seamlessly blends modernity with homage to Chicago's architectural heritage. Its design reflects reverence for the Historic Michigan Boulevard District while embracing innovation. The tower's base slopes out over adjacent buildings, creating dynamic interaction with the urban context. Features like curved corners overlooking Grant Park and crisp edges pay homage to the city skyline.
Internally, Kara Mann Design's touch ensures elegance and functionality. Custom cabinetry, Sub-Zero, and Wolf appliances adorn kitchens, while master suites boast oversized showers and soaking tubs. The interiors exude purity and lightness, fulfilling Mann's vision.
Construction faced hurdles, including a hiatus due to the pandemic and financial challenges. However, resilience and adaptability prevailed, with the project resuming in late 2021. Anticipation mounts as completion nears, with residents expected to move in starting May 1, 2024.
The tower's affordability compared to traditional luxury apartments makes it an attractive option. With studios starting at $2,075/month, it offers accessibility without compromising on amenities. However, critiques arise regarding the tower's height and its visual harmony with the historic context. The cantilever design has garnered both praise and criticism, reflecting differing opinions within architectural circles.
Despite these critiques, the 1000M tower represents a significant addition to Chicago's skyline, embodying the city's spirit of innovation and resilience. Its completion signifies not just the realization of a visionary project but also the continuation of Helmut Jahn's legacy in shaping urban landscapes. As residents prepare to call it home, the tower stands as a symbol of luxury, affordability, and enduring architectural excellence in the heart of the Windy City. - Розваги
I hate it when it's reported that someone dies "accidentally" in a bicycle crash. Nine times out of ten, the driver of the car is impaired, speeding or on their cell phone. Did they set out to kill someone...no, but their behavior had that result. Still, they get to walk free with little to no consequences for their actions. Shameful !
It’s so bitterly sad and ironic that Jan was killed by a motorist and poor transportation infrastructure, exactly what he was advocating to change in the last period of his life as an architect and urbanist. He was a visionary and hero to Chicago.
"Police said Jahn was killed in the accident around 3:30 p.m. Saturday in Campton Hills, a Kane County suburb near St. Charles.
Jahn was riding his bicycle north on Old Lafox Road approaching Burlington Road and failed to stop at the posted sign, police said. He was struck by a vehicle heading east on Burlington Road and then struck by a vehicle heading west on Burlington Road."
^from CBS News Chicago. So doesn't sound like the driver's fault
@@brendansheehy4060 good point it’s actually not bitterly sad and ironic, it’s all his fault. GTFO nerd
i hate it when cyclists try to twist stories in order to favor their bad road etiquette... someone dies because of it and cyclists try to exploit it...
be that as it may, have you been to chicago? cyclists (or scooter riders) are crazy and drive/ride like idiots most of the time, jumping red lights and not stopping at posted signs, unfortunately in this case (as posted above) it took the architects life.
$6K for a two bed is crazy. Generally an additional bedroom isn’t double the price of a 1 bed here - should be more like $1K more.
what is left of 2 beds start at 4.8k. video is wrong, check the site.
Great video. We want more Chicago content🔥
Imagine not realising the hypocrisy of saying "affordable LUXURY apartments" are u fkn kidding me
It's not hypocrisy, it's just an oxymoron.
When’s the last time you saw an ad for "just bare minimum amenity apartments"?
it's possible for a building to contain luxury and affordable categorized units. not sure if that's the case here.
I just came across your page and I really loved your review of this tower.
Awesome, thank you!
The 300+ parking space amount match the original purpose of condominiums at a 1:1 ratio... The switch to Apt is where you find the discrepancy of dedicated parking to units... Great video though...
I currently live in the Loop, and my current "one bedroom" (bedroom doesnt have a door but seperate from living room) in a office converted to residential is $1895 so for a studio thats not terrible. My partner and I briefly looked into this building since we want 2 br, 2 ba but $6k a month? Forgot about it especially for the partcof of the Loop. We found a 2 br, 2 ba on the North Side for $2800 since thats we could afford.
Thats absurdly high. What it is about the crime ridden, expensive city of Chicago that would make someone want to spend that kind of money?
@@calvinhobbes6118 There's an apartment building we looked at that was NICE and 3 bedrooms were going for 10k a month which I thought was incredibly high but believe it or not there are some apartments here that go upwards of $80k a month. What people neglect to realize about Chicago is that its has one of the highest concentrations of millionaires and billionaires in the US. We have beaches, Michellin Starred restaurants, awesome museums, decent traffic, great architecture, a great concentration of expensive stores that cater to the wealthy, and so on. I still can't justify $80k (like I could afford it anyways lol), but apparently some people can.
Great video. Lots of facts sprinkled with educated commentary. informative. High quality visuals and good production value. Nice work.
Extraordinarily Ordinary
They should build the Chicago Spire next
haha they are actually, called 400 LSD now
Did the adjacent property sell its air space to this building, or is the adjacent property also owned by the same corporation?
the criticism that it doesnt fit in mew south loop is bizarre. its not that different from its neighbor to the immediate east.
It's super close to NEMA, which was supposed to have an even taller twin that is now canceled.
Good video. I think the building is out of scale. And Chicago needs affordable housing for the middle classes. This is just a slightly less expensive option for corporate workers. A family could never live here
eliminating mandatory parking minimums is always a good thing
We need more skyscrapers in Chicago
Nah, we need more mixed use dense development on the west and south sides way more than we need high rises most people don't want to live in and can't afford.
@@robertivaniszyn840 Those are 2 different perspectives for 2 different criteria’s. Unfortunately for you, you’re in the minority on that.
@@alexzais1935 am I? Care to share your data backing that up?
Most of my fellow Chicagoans want more 3 flats outside the loop and DGAF what gets built downtown because we have no interest in living there.
No we need to build tiny homes for the homeless 🏠
@@ChiTownLegal And there’s a bunch of unoccupied land on the deep West Side where they can gracefully do that for you 😉
This structure is not in the tradition of the Chicago School of Architecture. Buildings such as the First National Bank, the John Hancock Center, are steel frame skyscrapers in the Chicago tradition. The M1 is of reinforced-concrete, an inferior technique that will deteriorate with age. Remember the collapse of the Surfside condo in Florida, it was of this type.

Love the amenities and nice building, but if you’re gonna be spending that much, I would rather live in the loop or mag mile area. South Loop is OK, but there’s not quite as much going on down there.
More Chicago Videos !
Jahn designed One Liberty Place in Philly. The skyscraper that now definds Philly's skyline
There is a building in Chicago, Two Prudential Plaza, that looks like an exact copy of One Liberty Place.
Ya I can’t see how Chicago supports its citizens in a way that they’ll want to invest in or live and work downtown ?
Maybe if the politics reversed course
But hard to see that happening
Affordable is a very challenging word these days... to put "affordable" and "luxury" in the same sentence, is very brave my friend :)
I don’t know if this type of construction makes sense. The best is Mixed use development. Blocks of 5 story buildings with plenty of street parking and parking garages mixed in with LRT and heavy rail commuter trains
Chicago/south loop resident here. While I agree 1000M is not as expensive as some of the other luxury high rises in the area (e.g. NEMA, who singlehandedly drives up the average cost of 1BRs in the area) it is still considerably more expensive than "the next tier down" of apartments. You could live in a
where are these 1700/mo apartments you speak of
rents are like brooklyn rents, would have been nice to have had double the number of apartments become move in ready at 500 less on the studio and same amount on up. 1400 new apartments studios at 1200 going up to 4200 a month on top end would help the city, this not convinced it helps anyone other than those who got in the bldg. I consider the rents and location a net zero for housing affordability. Missed it by thismuch
How many apartments are section 8???
So they accept housing vouchers?
“Affordable” means Section 8 which means ghetto. They already do have plenty of it there which is one of the reasons why downtown is so dangerous now. It’s pretty much ruined.
“Only” $800 more than the average $2,300 a month… AKA 1 bedroom costs %130 as much as the average rent in Chicago… also average really tells you nothing because it’s counting apartments that cost $800/ mo with apartments that cost $8K a month… median price is a better indicator
Doesn't sound that affordable to me. Overall I think this tower is a big bore. Adds nothing interesting to the skyline and because of the smaller base and widening tower just looks like a glass building being squeezed into a smaller building below. The only good thing I can say about it is at least its not as hideous as Jahns State of Illinois Center monstrosity.
Hope it don't topple over!
I certainly wouldn't call it pretty. And I certainly wouldn't call it inexpensive. But I suppose that, for those who have the money and want to live high up or in that part of the city, it would be a good bang for the buck.
Obviously it’s not for everyone
@@seizer88 I suspect not for most people. Oh well, I've seen worse, though.
Y’all aren’t being realistic in the comments, we need more houses for prices of the overall market to go down, and this is 750 houses right here, that’s like building a whole neighborhood at once. Sure it’s semi pricy now, but that pushes down the prices of older buildings that were listing at the same prices
These are apartments, not condos. You dont own an apartment.
It's great for the neighborhood. It brings in people who spend $$$ to local businesses and it will keep people who can afford these rates from snatching up other cheaper units in the area. I'm all for it!
Apartment = type of dwelling
Condo = type of ownership.
You had me a bit confused when you said this building switched from "condo" to "apartment".
Later I understood what you really meant was it went from condo apartments to rental apartments.
THANK YOU!!! IDGAF about a rental!!
In the USA "apartment" ALWAYS means rental. You can't buy an apartment. Thus when someone says I live in a condo, and someone says I live an in an apartment, we automatically know one is purchased and one is a rental. Although some condo owners rent out their condos, thus you have renters in condos, but they rent from the condo owner not the building management office. And people who rent a condo, usually refer to it as an "apartment" because they are renting it.
@@Metal0sopher You don't know any New Yorkers, do you?
@@Metal0sopher as I already stated, you are using the terms incorrectly.....in the USA, an "apartment" is a type of dwelling, whereas a "condo" is a type of ownership (so is a "co-op"). "Rental" means just that. Doesn't matter what you "think" everybody else means when they use the terms incorrectly....just means people are uninformed.....what's new
@@Metal0sopher You are wrong.
6000 FOR 2 BD ROOMS IS RIDICULOUS HOH
You must haven't been to NYC then it's Crazy Expensive
Can already tell you over 90% of people who live in the city area would not be able to afford this 😂
I'm sure that's part of the reason they switched it to be rental apartments as well. They can just keep cycling through people trying to live above their means instead of actually finding someone who can afford what I can only assume would be like $2 million condos.
No where near affordable and $6k for two bedroom is nuts. You get two bedroom on Roosevelt & Michigan avenue for $2500, literally less than blocked away with same amenities
Believe it or not, you get to pick the floor you want to be on, and the higher the elevation, the immediately pricier it's going to be. Do you know how cities work?? This is an amazing deal..for godsakes, you basically give your soul for a 2-4 story 2 bedroom in a historically cheaper building (my rent is $4,500).
If you don't live in the city, you won't understand..cities have jobs that need to make you enough to live there, at least $50,000 a year though if you want to get anywhere I'd recommend 6 figures. Urban landscape isn't the same as a public 9-5 working carts and isles, hell you'd be a Publix schedule manager in like 2 weeks if you worked at Publix in Manhattan. No different with Chicago, a Management position is usually a given for anyone who puts in hard work to live in a city, and then they move into companies and start businesses. One job will not pay for these apartments.., and the experience of living here for the rest of your life is unbelievable. The rooms actually take up the price as much as the view unlike many very very expensive residences that would bring your monthly up to $40 to $800K a month (yes I'm talking about Penthouses like in Nordstrom tower or a mid floor skyscraper range). Those are room with a view residences were you're paying $2,000,000 for the room and $90,000,000 for the view that they subvert you into believing is the hard work it takes them to shove basalt flooring in and predated mulched wood scooped by Chinese experts in the yunhou dynasty (🙄🙄🙄).
You know why we have realtors for a home. Half the job is informing you, the other half is describing to you a steak with fries in the most lavish, enticing terms. "This farm fresh seered steak, richly red, licked by the burners at a local cooking pot and served with rosemary, petticke, wine sauce, and a side of crisp golden fries baked to ample perfection." Compared to "STEAK AND FRIES $18." That's how they persaude and entice you with an apartment. They mention how the shower head is inlayed in ruddite marble like a shower is never not inlayed? The cedar flooring that shines with the manhattan sun, book matched white milk marble with rhodalite versed in between it, and god knows what else weird way I can describe a basic material.
9 Figure $ Lottery Win. I Want the Penthouse. I Can Dream, Can't I? (smile)
The new Rafael Viñoly highrise is right around the corner, at Michigan Ave and Roosevelt. It's also a rental property, and the prices are just slightly higher, starting at $2500/month for studios all the way up to $9100 for a 3-bedroom, 2-bath on a high floor. Of course affordability is a relative term. Compared with Manhattan, everything in Chicago would be considered affordable.
2000 HOA per month?
Completely insane to suggest that a $2k studio apartment for one is "affordable" lol
Imagine thinking that his target audience are under white collar workers. The 1 percent may be billionaires but there is a 15% category for average to wealthy (that significantly refers to the top of average to wealthy, average would be 35%)
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar affordable is affordable, period. It doesn't mean "affordable for someone on a high six figure salary" that's nonsense.
@@robertivaniszyn840 Oh yah, is that NONSENSE or do you just really like to dramatize things in hope that you'll eventually start calling me insane. Last I checked, wealthy people can afford 2 Christmas trees without even a care about the price because they make far more daily. Wealthy people can go on clothing binges at stores, pay for expensive vacation trips, afford a two to three house mortgage and rent. $2000 a month is the average making of someone in a city, ask anyone from a city. You need at least a $50,000 to 100,000 yearly salary to live in NYC.
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar Dude, you're all over the place.
These places are $6k a month. Not $2k. SIX
@@robertivaniszyn840 I want you to read out to me exactly what your first comment says. And remember to spell out all 3 symbols of the $ 2 and the k.
my suggestion for a future video is .. don’t title something affordable when it’s clearly anything but
i'm less than 3 minutes in - is this an AD?
Lots if wasted space. Enjoy
M A Great name like , Millennium Tower in SanFranciso.
Houston is a great example of a city that does apartment construction well, in a way that keeps prices down. When new development is focused on luxury apartment buildings, that helps keep costs down for older apartment buildings.
I moved to Houston. With many of mine friends in Houston being contractor. Houston Buildings are built like CRAP Cheap illegals labor Cheap products. Houston building ALLWAYS have constuction pronlems As any REAl Houston contractor, Beside Houston hasnt build any Tall buildings. Only tall offices that are empty. Houston builds these UGLY 3 - 4 townhomes all across the city. Most Of Chicago build do have caracter.
Houston isn’t a world class city though
@@1Mission_ Oh.
@@1Mission_ Houston is a higher class city than Chicago lol. Higher standard of living overall. Lower crime rates. Less racial animosity. Politics that isn't driving people away from the city and state.
@@kangamagic1206 houston's crime is insane. both cities have crime but to say houston is a higher class city than chicago is bold. chicago is definitely more of a world class city
It's boring aesthetics and not world class. If the designer achieved anything, this particular structure achieved nothing and it lacks function without parking.
Call this condo affordable? Let’s rephrase that and say “UNTENABLE”… 🙄
"affordable"... wut..
(This video is an ad)
While a cantilever design looks cool and provides more square footage by utilizing the air rights above an adjacent structure.. The fact remains, the building isn't equally and uniformly supported by it's foundation... to be sure, they ran the numbers and it's more than ADEQUATELY supported, but it has higher stress and point loading on certain piers.... so for that reason... I'm out!
55 PLUS WOULD BUY A CONDO. 55 PLUS DOES NOT TAKE THE EL OR BUS
You sure?
Honestly 300 parking spots is TOO MANY! that close to so much great transit?? 300 parking spots is beyond overkill. If the building HAD to have parking i would have gone with 100 spots max. Love the positive Chicago content though, more please!!!!
Is carjacking extra?
Affordable luxury apartments. I'm pretty sure that's an oxymoron.
vibrant south loop? no
The Build is BORING Does nothing Good for the Skyline. The 2 ft bend over the neighboring building messed it up drastically. The rents are crazy. In This economy! while most people are living paycheck to paycheck. You should"nt be paying 30% of your check on rent. 20% of your check is fine. Jobs are cutting employeees more & more. I see this building only for the people who make over 150k but that's short lived, until they lose there job to A.I.
So the build will only be a 3rd full over the next 3 - 5 years. #FACTS
I can’t believe they included parking spots in the 21st century 🤦♂️
It’s not NY
@@seizer88 exactly. If it was NYC they prolly wouldn’t have had parking. Cities should be built for their residents, not the ease of drivers!
Nothing in Chicago is affordable anymore.
at least its not NY expensive lol
Affordable for whom? Is this new scraper going to be affordable housing? Most likely not.
Affordable to Warren Buffet. 🙄
🤣😂🧐
Ha..."for only 800 dollars more per month, you can have a one bedroom"...
..that's $200 more a month than what I pay for my 2 bedroom apartment in St Louis..in a great area. 😏
RE prices in STL aren't a fair comparison to Chicago. Chicago's much more affordable than peer coastal cities (Boston, NYC, DC, SF, LA).
Ummmm..... Yeah, the focus here is "in St. Louis." No thanks -
@@richardgreen2200 ummm...St Louis is low-key better than you know. I highly doubt you have any practical, real on the ground experience with the city. So, stay in your lane. Chicago is FAR from perfect and in some ways, actually way worse off.
@@richardgreen2200 Chicago is a crime-ridden, expensive craphole ran by black Democrats. NO THANKS
@@BRCH1987 St Louis has improved a lot in recent years, but that's not saying much. I still won't set foot there unless I feel obligated to do so.
This is far far away from affordable...
This is why folks have run out to the suburbs.
Are there that many rich people living in Chicago? I don’t think so.
It is in the top ten cities in the world for gdp. Look up the rankings.
Chicago is loaded with billionaires and multi-millionaires, therefore there are a lot of millionaires eating from their tables. The amount of people making 250K or more is very large as well. These apartments is affordable to those who can pay 3K a month and walk away after a year or two. For 80 of the remaining population, its not affordable, but so is most of everything in Chicago not affordable.
Nice infomercial. Did you get paid for this? We really need disclosure laws. I sick of all these UA-camrs becoming paid propagandists but pretending they are content creators.
Question, did you recognize it as an infomercial? No harm done.
Had no idea this tower was being made.
It’s a video essay dude 😭😭 lord forbid a man have some pride in his city or favorite architect
What propaganda is being spread here? Did Trump tell you the tower was being built by Mexico and funded by China?
Dont be rude. The man is nice
My daughter left Chicago for Vienna. Her 2 BR apartment in a newer building, 12th District, 1 block from 2 subway lines and 4 stops from Karlsplatz is $1,000 a month and she can walk outside alone day and night. Who would pay $6,000 a month to live in a vertical mausoleum in this lawless city?
$6,000 is expensive but, I'm sure people who choose to live there can afford it, and I doubt a high rent district like that would be lawless.
Vienna is dreary, strait-laced and flat.
Apparently quite a few people as the market dictates what can be viably charged. Have been to Vienna. Comparing it to Chicago is like comparing a prune to a papaya..... polar opposites. If Vienna is your bag, go stay with your daughter, permanently. Slow, run-down and pompous seems to fit you perfectly.

IT WILL FAIL NUFF SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ooo🤡
Absolutely nothing is special about the architecture or design. It’s a large rectangular shape. Architects from 1800-1999s would be disgusted with these designs

I think it's quite nice
This will fail. Public transit is dangerous. Not being able to park one's own car in one's apartment is not going to sell. The city of Chicago itself is dying. This building should have been built elsewhere and the parking structure redesigned to give every occupant a parking spot.
Who would want to live in Chicago anyways?
Only about 9 and half million people, in the greater metro. Where are you Jason? Some thriving mecca like Jackson, MS, Waco, TX or Cedar Rapids, IA most likely. And it's 'anyway', not "anyways". fifth grade grammar was a tough one wasn't it?
@@richardgreen2200 Wow richard, did I hit a nerve? Cause you to go “ghetto”? Actually, I lived in Barrington Hills for a while and still have friends there. I used to take the Northwest Line in to Chicago. Only because driving and parking was such a pain. This was back when Michael Jordan was playing for the Bulls. A fun time to live there. Although (like any city) it definitely had some “shady” areas. Currently, I hear that Chicago has digressed a little. Is that completely off base? I have had some beautiful homes in Park City, UT Guilford, VT Carlsbad, NM and Barrington Hills, IL. Currently I live in beautiful Big Sky, MT. Thank you for reminding us all what the population of Chicago’s “greater metro” area is (approximately). Most importantly, your lesson in grammar (although a bit cheeky) is correct and surely noted. 😏 I don’t miss the hot and humid summers or the brutal winters in Chicago. It is a little too populated for my taste and I like mountains 🏔️.

My friend who comes up from Miami says Chicago is a way better city the only reason he wouldn’t choose it are the winters. Friends from La and an Atlanta said the exact same thing to me.
Don’t get me wrong guys but Chicago isn’t safe city or some one with money wants to live in downtown anymore. Different times downtowns are out of fashion.
