When Picturesque Views Meet Magnificent Spaces, Extraordinary Events Are Inevitable…
Introducing the Most Beautiful Residence in Chicago Located on the Most Prestigious Block

PROVENANCE…
The beautiful beaux arts building, known today as 189 East Lake Shore Drive, is superbly located on the premier
and prestigious block of stately buildings facing Lake Michigan and was built in 1924. In later years, it became
the Mayfair Regent Hotel and was crowned by the famous Ceil Blue restaurant, frequented by the elite and
powerful in Chicago, it was a gathering place to “see and be seen” and enjoy the spectacular views. The old
saying, “land is precious because they are not making any more of it” rings true along East Lake Shore Drive,
with its glorious views of Lake Michigan and prime location. Successful LR Development was drawn to this
concept and purchased the hotel and proceeded to spearhead the most successful upscale residential
condominium conversion in the city. Today, it is one of only two condominium buildings among the eight
stately buildings along this highly sought after block.

Fortunately, the changes made were without substantially altering the building’s structure and it remains today a
19-story building with two Penthouses, each with Rooftop Terraces and is home to Chicago’s most notable
residents.

THE VISION…
The Owner’s upscale lifestyle and refined sense of style and desire for light, open spaces inspired the vision that
is evident in this incredible home. The Owners had a clear sense of preserving the home’s magnificent
architectural detail but yet creating an inviting home for family life and simply marvelous spaces in which to
entertain. No expense was spared in bringing their home to this extraordinary level. Careful attention to every
single detail and a full commitment to luxury and quality beyond the norm have resulted in a home like no other.
This Penthouse not only accommodates the Owners furnishings, which range from traditional antiques to more
modern custom pieces, but also affords ample space for displaying their cherished collection of contemporary art.
In addition, their wish for outstanding views, ample outdoor living space and plenty of room for visiting children,
grandchildren and friends was more than fulfilled.

THE LOBBY…
The service oriented uniformed doorman greets you in the well appointed Lobby and announces your guests. He
is there to assist with luggage, packages and groceries. Your full floor residence and Penthouse Level are keyed
for full security. There is a convenient front drive enabling you, your driver or guests to drive right up to the
front entry of the building.

As you whisk to the private 18th floor, there are extraordinarily beautiful antique bronze gates (which may also
be locked, if desired).

THE RESIDENCE …

THE RECEPTION ROTUNDA AND GALLERY…
Upon entering the apartment there is an incredible impact as you enter the Reception Rotunda with its silver
leafed domed ceiling and gaze down the Gallery toward the Living Room. There is a convenient and a well
appointed Powder Room located near the entrance and four large guest closets.
