“This building is rich in character and charm and is different from the thousands of typical white boxes in the sky that have recently been developed in new high- and mid-rises throughout Chicago,” McLinden says. “This pocket of the Logan Square/Belmont Gardens neighborhood is full of history and culture and we are excited to be a part of it.”

Designed by architectural firm Hirsch MPG and design firm Harken Interiors, the common areas offer a nod to the building's rich history through use of color—the Marshall Field's signature shade of green is featured prominently throughout—as well as accessories such as original signage.

“Authentic loft space deserves authentic design,” says Jaclyn Moser, partner of Harken Interiors. “As a Chicago-based firm, we understand the love affair this city has with the Marshall Field's brand and wanted to pay tribute through thoughtful design.”

“As evidenced by everything from the splashes of 'Marshall Field's green' on the exposed columns to the red-lettered furniture sale sign that was repurposed as artwork, the history of the building is very much a part of its resurgence as a modern residential community that embraces its roots,” says Harken Interiors partner Chris Sommers.

Tailored to residents' active urban lifestyle and designed to foster a sense of community, The Field's Lofts provides dedicated spaces for work, relaxation and socialization. Located on the sixth floor, common areas will include a co-working space with Wi-Fi and printing station; fitness center with state-of-the-art equipment including Peloton bikes, as well as a private yoga and meditation studio; and resident lounge and café with chef's-grade kitchen.

“Creating a sense of community is an important theme throughout Hubbard Street Group's residential projects and the impressive suite of amenities at The Field's Lofts will really distinguish this building from what's currently available in the market,” says Kage Brown, partner and chief investment officer at Hubbard Street Group.

Outdoors, an expansive rooftop deck with unobstructed views of the Chicago skyline will be equipped with a grilling station, dog run, fire pit and sun chairs. The Field's Lofts also provides complimentary bike parking; storage lockers; and garage parking for 87 vehicles.

“The Field's Lofts offers modern, brand-new apartments at an attainable price point,” says Aaron Galvin, CEO of Luxury Living Chicago Realty, the exclusive marketing and leasing brokerage for the development. “The thoughtful apartment interiors combined with the character of both the building and the location near the Logan Square neighborhood sets The Field's Lofts apart in the Chicago rental market.”

Convenience is another selling point of The Field's Lofts, noted Galvin. The property's lower-level retail space is anchored by Cermak Fresh Market, while numerous shops, restaurants and parks are within walking distance. The Field's Lofts is steps from several bus stops along Diversey Avenue that connect to the CTA Blue Line, allowing residents to commute downtown in about 20 minutes. Surrounded by bike-friendly streets, the community is also near Milwaukee Avenue, a main bike artery to downtown.
