About Presidential Towers Apartments

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.

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.
