Introducing New Chicago Apartments: Magellan Development Launches Leasing Program at the Distinctive Aqua Tower

Magellan launches leasing program for 474 rental units in the distinctive Aqua Tower at Lakeshore East.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) March 16, 2009 -- Magellan Development Group has initiated leasing for 474 rental units that will fill 33 floors of the distinctive Aqua mixed-use tower nearing completion at the east end of the Lakeshore East village just north of Millennium Park. Occupancy of the rental apartments is projected for May 1.

Selections include studios, convertibles, and one- and two-bedroom residences renting from $1375 to $3111. Deluxe features include full-granite kitchens with stainless steel GE (™) appliances and tiled entries and baths. Leasing will be conducted by NNP Residential LLC, a leading residential property manager.

Bold in both design and function, Aqua, designed by Jeanne Gang of Studio/Gang architects is the first high-rise in Chicago specifically designed to feature condominiums, rental, hotel and retail spaces in a single structure. The rental component occupies floors 19 to 52. Application for LEED certification as an environmentally-sensitive "Green Building" has been submitted.

Aqua's dramatic design is produced by outdoor balconies and terraces that form unique, undulating contours of different sizes and shapes that change gradually from the lower to the higher part of the 82-story tower.

Residents will have access to more diverse amenities than any major city, indoors and out. Already proclaimed Chicago's newest architectural landmark, Aqua's amenities package is equally impressive, offering an unrivalled 80,000-square-foot outdoor deck with lush gardens, gazebos, pools and cabañas, hot tubs, running track, fire pit and grills. Indoors, a 35,000-square-foot amenity floor will provide fitness facilities, a basketball court, group fitness studio, indoor lap pool, a spa featuring a hot tub, sauna, steam and massage rooms, private party suites with catering kitchens, sky garden lounge, media room, billiards and game area and business center.

As a result of its unique design, Aqua's residences will command dramatic river, lake, skyline and Millennium Park views.
