When opened in 1930, the Chicago’s Merchandise Mart, located in the River North area, was the largest building in the world with 4,000,000 square feet of floor space.  This enormous building is centered near the  junction of the Chicago River branches. The building continues to be a leading retailing and wholesale destination, hosting 20,000 visitors and tenants per day.

Google recently announced that it will be moving its Motorola Mobility division from Libertyville, IL to the Merchandise Mart.   Google is said to be taking up four floors of the mart next year, and will be using the Mart’s roof space for large events.  It is the third major technology company to sign a lease with the mart recently, making the River North area home to the tech savvy.

Interested in living in the River North or Chicago Merchandise Mart area?  This desirable area has great amount of luxury property but also some really cools Loft-style buildings.  Some that come to mind:

•  401 West Ontario- A great loft  building
• The Sexton at 360 West Illinois
• 333 Hubbard
• 330 West Grand - a  luxury high rise
• 500 Superior (The Montgomery) a very hip modern expensive high rise
• 435 Erie - a 126 unit 1998 building
• Kinzie Street Station -  a gated park community- very high end properties right down the street from the Merchandise Mart
• 550 Kingsbury
• 420 West Ontario loft building

What River North offers is the ability to really mix a neighborhood feel with the city.  Filled with art galleries, high-end boutiques and restaurants, River North tends to attract the buyers who want a little bit of eclectic in their surroundings.  River North is filled with old lofts buildings that are now converted to luxury lofts and mixed with new construction town homes (on Huron and Orleans) and new single family homes that are some of the most sought after properties in Chicago today.  Many properties have an Ogden School address which is one of the best public elementary schools in the city.
