About Presidential Towers

If you’re searching for a great apartment in downtown Chicago, and affordable luxury and location are most important to you, make sure you give Presidential Towers a look! 

Presidential Towers’ four buildings, which straddle the border of West Loop and the Loop, are an iconic part of the skyline. Yes, you read that right – FOUR towers. This West Loop mega-development has been the go-to for renters looking for an affordable apartment in West Loop, while still getting great quality. 

Presidential Towers was built in 1986, but don’t let the age fool you. With age comes larger apartments, and an extensive remodel has delivered updated apartments and fresh shared spaces.

Where exactly is Presidential Towers located? It’s on the east border of Chicago’s awesome West Loop neighborhood, in an area called West Loop Gate, making it just a couple block walk to the Loop. In fact, famed Willis Tower is just an 8-minute walk away! This affordable, luxury mega-development takes up an entire two full city blocks and is bound by Madison, Monroe, Clinton and Desplaines Streets.

If you’re on the search for an apartment in Chicago that has everyday conveniences nearby, Presidential Towers has you covered. Both Mariano’s and Whole Foods are a 6-minute walk west. Pharmacy and late-night convenience runs are easy too, with Walgreens a 7-minute walk west and CVS 7-minutes east. And for a quick bite to eat, all you need to do is walk downstairs. Potbelly, Naf Naf Grill, Five Guys, Blaze Pizza and Blackwood BBQ are all located on the ground-floor level along Clinton Street. If you want a bite to eat that’s a little more high-brow, head just a half-mile north and check out the incredible restaurants in the Fulton River neighborhood.

So what do people love about living at Presidential Towers? First, the price is right. Affordable rent in Chicago can be hard to find, especially in a neighborhood as great as West Loop, and Presidential Towers is a great value. You won’t find the flashier amenities that some higher-end luxury apartment buildings have, but you might find you don’t miss them either!

Rent at Presidential Towers, and you’ll have all your basic needs covered and then some! If you have a car, parking at Presidential Towers is easy, with over 1,100 spots available. And if you use public transport, both the CTA and Metra trains are super close. This truly is a commuter-friendly apartment building! 

A 24-hour doorman greets Presidential Tower’s residents, too. And the best perk of all – the million-dollar views! At 49 stories tall, each of the four towers offer up spectacular peeks of downtown Chicago. In fact, the towers were staggered to take advantage of the skyline views; a brilliant move on the developer’s part. 

If you’re looking for an apartment with a great fitness center, Presidential Towers offers residents an affordable membership to its attached 52,000 square-foot Fitness Formula Health Club (FFC). Jog, bike, row and sling around free weights; this gym has got it all! Plus, FFC has an awesome rooftop pool with a huge deck where you can lounge and soak up the summer sun. 

The apartments for rent at Presidential Towers are recently renovated and offer lots of different features and floor plans. From extra affordable (and spacious) studio and convertible apartments to roomy one and two-bedrooms, find the unit that best suits your needs. 

One awesome thing about renting at a mega-development like Presidential Towers is that there are so many units, you have options! Choose an apartment with the view you love most and pick the finishes that suit your taste too. These recently renovated apartments have cabinetry options, granite countertops and some units have breakfast bars as well. And even though Presidential Towers is known for being affordable, the units have generous closet space, new appliances and window treatments.
