Marquee is a unique Chicago high-rise with a distinctively west coast style, reminiscent of classic Hollywood architecture. The stunning yellow-stone facade and symmetrical structure with rounded balconies and lush landscaping is straight out of a 1940s film. Only this beautiful residential tower is a 21st century development with high-tech options and innovative building amenities that assure modern day home buyers this new construction condominium is anything but old-fashioned.

Modeled after the time-honored designs of yesteryear, Marquee stands out from the wave of fresh developments hitting the Chicago housing market right now, especially that in the booming South Loop neighborhood where every other block is riddled with cranes and scaffolding. Instead of going the popular urban loft route, Marquee stands by the age-old desirability for a genuine home. Solid quality construction and revered interior finishes, with all the perks of condo life and an excellent location near Chicago's prized Museum Campus and the Lake Michigan waterfront.

The units at Marquee are delightfully decorated sanctuaries decked with upscale treatments and state-of-the-art features. Red oak hardwood floors run throughout the living and dining rooms, kitchen and hallways, creating a graceful flow from one space to the next. The bedrooms are a relaxing private haven with luxurious wall-to-wall carpeting and the bathrooms pamper the senses with natural stone tiling and warm lamp lighting. Sleek kitchen appointments, including granite countertops, ceramic tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and detailed wood cabinets, provide an attractive cook space that will quickly become the favorite spot in the house.

Residents can enjoy breakfast on their terrace, which is large enough for a patio table and chairs, and the view from east-facing units offers a spectacular panorama of Soldier Field, the Field Museum and the horizon-touching blue of the lake beyond. Top-floor penthouses boast expansive wraparound verandas with multiple private entrances and plenty of room for grilling, al fresco dining, sunbathing, and entertaining on warm summer nights.

Marquee residents are pampered with convenient on-site features and services. The lobby and reception area is attended by a 24-hour doorman who welcomes residents and guests into the building with class and a helping hand if needed. There's secured garage parking and storage rooms for bikes and personal possessions, plus an exercise club that makes it easy for Marquee residents to squeeze in a workout, even with a busy schedule. A theater area makes for prime movie-watching with friends and the green roof and dog run supplies an outdoor retreat for both condo occupants and their pets.

Residents have optional technology upgrades that wire the home for security, sound, television, and lighting with a sophisticated Inteliplex control system. Wall-mounted LCD or plasma TV, built-in surround sound speakers, digital music player, and light dimmers allow homeowners to create the ultimate setting for every situation—entertaining guests, a quiet afternoon with the family, a romantic dinner, movie night, or just blasting your favorite tunes anytime you feel like it.

Marquee offers home buyers five levels of residences: the third floor Terrace Units share the building's expansive east-facing veranda; floors four through eight are Typical Units; floors nine through 15 house the Premier View Units; the Marquee View Units are on floors 16 through 22; and the 23rd floor is reserved for the Penthouse Duplexes, which are fantastic two-story residences.

One bedrooms start in the high $100,000s, two-bedroom units are priced from the upper $200,000s, three bedroom properties at Marquee start in the high $300,000s, and the penthouse duplex pricing starts in the mid $600,000s. Marquee is a project of Sedgwick Properties Development Corporation.
