Optima Signature Apartments220 E. Illinois St., Chicago, IL 60611

Optima Signature Apartments is a 57-story LEED-certified luxury tower at 220 E. Illinois St. in Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood, where 490 residences wrapped in transparent green glass rise just east of the Chicago River, offering one of the most amenity-rich living environments in the city.

Location & Connectivity

Positioned in Streeterville, the building sits just east of the Chicago River and adjacent to the sister tower Optima Chicago Center. The surrounding street-level retail, including 14,200 sq ft of shops and services within the building's own commercial base, means everyday conveniences are steps from the lobby. The Magnificent Mile and the lakefront are within easy reach on foot, and the neighborhood connects residents to CTA rail and bus service for broader city access.

The Living Experience

Residences are divided into two collections. Tower homes on floors 9 through 36 offer studio, one-, and two-bedroom layouts ranging from 571 to 1,316 sq ft, each finished with Snaidero cabinetry, Balterio wide-plank flooring, quartz or granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, in-unit washer and dryer, and Nest Thermostats. Apex homes on floors 37 through 52 step up to upgraded finishes, larger floor plans reaching 2,583 sq ft, and exclusive access to Club 52, a private amenity floor with an outdoor kitchen, wine lockers, and a residents' terrace. Throughout both collections, floor-to-ceiling windows and soaring ceilings frame panoramic views of the skyline, river, and lakefront.

Four dedicated amenity floors support a lifestyle that suits long-term residents as much as short-term guests. Indoor and outdoor heated pools, a spa with saunas and steam rooms, an indoor basketball court, squash court, golf simulator, and a putting green cover active pursuits. Co-working suites, wired conference rooms, and a library make the building genuinely functional for professionals on extended assignments. On-site services include housekeeping, personal training, massage therapy, and pet care, so residents can settle in with ease.

Suite Home offers fully furnished apartments at Optima Signature for professionals on relocation assignments, project teams requiring extended stays, and individuals in insurance or temporary housing situations. The combination of thoughtfully designed residences, comprehensive in-building services, and a central Streeterville address makes this tower a practical and comfortable base for stays of any length.
