The second phase of this grand South Loop residential development presents itself as a lofty, art deco-style high-rise with an excellent location, luxury appointments, ultramodern amenities, and distinctive floor plans with one and two bedroom arrangements-including exclusive penthouse units with breathtaking views of the Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan. Even before its completion Michigan Avenue Tower II is causing a stir among Chicago home buyers who are searching for premium condo living without the premium condo price.

One bedroom units are priced in the low to upper $300,000s, two bedroom units range between $399,990 and $589,000, and all condo prices include one deeded parking space in the heated indoor garage, valued at $37,500. A protected spot to park your vehicle is a nice perk, but that's only the beginning of state-of-the-art building features and community facilities that make Michigan Avenue Tower II a sought-after South Loop residence. For starters, a 24-hour doorman is always around to assist residents and provide added security at the front door entrance. Fab access, secured elevators, and surveillance cameras are also utilized to make sure residents feel safe and sound.

Condo owners at Michigan Avenue Tower II will be even more at ease lounging by the pool and soaking up some rays at the spacious outdoor sun deck and patio. Surrounded by professionally landscaped gardens and scenic city vistas, the open air 7th floor terrace is a relaxing retreat from the traffic-filled streets of South Michigan Avenue below. The club house provides a comfortable indoor sanctuary where residents can congregate and the attached kitchen is ideal for preparing party dishes and hosting get-togethers that have outgrown your condo.

Occupants can pump some iron and hit the cardio machines in the fitness center and the outside dog run means Fido can get in his daily exercise, too. Residents who get their workout from riding a bike can store their wheels in the bicycle room. The 18-mile-long lakefront bike trail is just a few blocks away from the Tower II and a great place to cycle where you won't have to worry about cars.

The individual condos at Michigan Avenue Tower II are attractive spaces with nine to ten-foot ceiling heights and tall windows that allow tons of natural light into the home. Sliding glass doors lead residents out to their private balconies and the upgraded interior features create a comfortable living area within. Beautiful hardwood floors run throughout the main rooms and ceramic tiles grace the bathroom floors and tub surround.

The various kitchen layouts offer standard luxuries with granite countertops, 42" cabinetry, and high-performance stainless steel appliances. Built-in utility closets hold side-by-side washers and dryers, and the walk-in closet in the master bedroom has plenty of square footage for two separate wardrobes. The upscale features continue into the bathroom with cultured marble counters, pedestal sinks, deep soaking tubs, and Grohe chrome fixtures.

Following in the footsteps of the first tower, Michigan Avenue Tower II is also a Russland Capital Group development. The 28-story high-rise will bring 270 new residences to the growing South Loop neighborhood upon its delivery, slated for fall of 2008. One bedroom floor plans range from 692 to 933 square feet, the two bedroom residences offer plans with anywhere from 826 to 1,425 square feet, and three bedroom units are 1,540 square feet.
