Vibrant West Loop Neighborhood

The West Loop neighborhood has transformed from an industrial district into a bustling area where people live, work, and play. The repurposed brick warehouses now house condominiums and tech company offices, creating a unique blend of old and new. The neighborhood is divided into several districts, each with its own character. The West Loop Gate and Fulton River District are quieter areas with high-end condos and office spaces, while the Fulton Market District is known for its celebrated Restaurant Row, featuring top-rated dining options like Grace and Ever. Nearby parks such as Mary Bartelme Park and Heritage Green Park provide green spaces for relaxation and recreation. The area is also home to excellent schools, including Mark Skinner Elementary School and Whitney M. Young Magnet High School, both of which have received high ratings.

Convenient Transportation Options

Platinum Tower is well-connected to various transportation options, making it easy for residents to navigate the city. The Clinton Station on the Blue Line is just a five-minute walk away, providing quick access to other parts of Chicago. Union Station and the Ogilvie Transportation Center, both major Metra hubs, are within a ten-minute walk, offering commuter rail services to the suburbs. Several bus stops, including Van Buren & Jefferson and Jackson & Desplaines, are less than a five-minute walk from the building, serving multiple transit lines. For those who prefer to drive, the building offers easy access to major highways. Additionally, Chicago Midway International Airport is about a 15-minute drive away, while Chicago O'Hare International Airport can be reached in approximately 25 minutes.
