1000 West Washington Lofts in the West Loop neighborhood
The twin buildings of 1000 W. Washington in Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood, originally served as a cookie and biscuit factory for the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco). By the early 1990’s this 497,000-square-foot piece of real estate formerly comprised of baking ovens, has evolved into a unique collection of concrete and brick/timber loft condominium homes.
There are 180 loft homes at 1000 W. Washington. One-hundred-sixty of them have unique floorplans. The homes currently available in the building include 1-bedroom/1-bathroom properties starting in the low $200,000s. Two-bedroom/two-bathroom lofts can be purchased in the $300,000-$400,000 price range.
Two remarkable larger loft homes – both 3-bedrooms – are stunning designer spaces with every conceivable upgrade including a kitchen with glass mosaic backsplash and high-end stainless appliances, two fireplaces, halogen lighting and heated floors. These loft homes are listed at $799,000 and $950,000.
The 1000 W. Washington lofts are actually two combined buildings. Buyers have their choice of spaces constructed of brick and timber or concrete — two bold choices that tend to attract buyers with a bit of an independent and adventurous streak.
Deeded parking is available for $15,000-$35,000 per space. Depending on owners’ preferences, parking spaces are available indoors as well as outdoors. Some heated indoor spaces are available.
Building amenities at 1000 W. Washington include an open lobby with soaring ceiling, landscaped courtyard, a community room which is available for private parties, 24-hour doorstaff with a bank of 16 closed-circuit cameras, and a sundeck that offers spectacular views of the surrounding neighborhood and city skyline.
