Featuring 192 units housed within its six floors, the high-rise's stunning ornate facade from its glorious past as a movie house still remains, making this building an architectural treasure.
The Cinema Lofts deliver great amenities to residents such as 24 hour doorperson, storage space and onsite valet/cleaner.

As a previous resident, one of my personal favorite features was the walking distance to Des Plaines River Trail. I have personally biked the trail to the Wisconsin border and back and it is just over a 100-miles door to door. My wife loved how close she was to Rosemont shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. Close proximity to O’Hare and blue line. Just an overall great neighborhood.
When the time comes to make a change, entrust your sale to a true expert who possesses an intimate knowledge of your building! I genuinely appreciate the unique qualities that set your building apart and can effectively showcase the outstanding features of your unit, the enticing amenities, and the vibrant surrounding community to prospective buyers.
