About this rental
Perched on the 55th floor of the iconic Aqua building, this rare and expansive residence is the result of a thoughtful combination of units, offering a truly one-of-a-kind custom unit. By merging these spaces, the home boasts a massive footprint wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, providing a continuous panorama that sweeps across Lake Michigan, Millennium Park, and the architectural masterpiece of the city skyline. The modern interior features a sleek, open-concept layout designed for both grand-scale entertaining and quiet relaxation. The kitchen is outfitted with premium stainless fully integrated appliances, granite countertops, and a breakfast bar that flows seamlessly into the light-filled living area. Step out onto one of the two expansive, wrap-around balconies-Aqua's signature architectural feature, amplified here by the combined layout-to feel the lake breeze and soak in the vibrant atmosphere of the New Eastside. The primary suite serves as a serene retreat, complete with generous closet space and a spa-inspired bathroom. Living at Aqua is a lifestyle experience unlike any other. Residents enjoy access to over 80,000 square feet of world-class amenities, including a massive outdoor terrace with a pool, running track, and fire pits, state-of-the-art fitness center, an indoor lap pool, a media room, and a business center. With the Pedway easily accessible and the city's best dining, shopping, and cultural attractions right nearby, this is urban living at its absolute finest.

Rent calculator

Bringing a roommate or co-signer? Add their income above — owners count combined household income toward the 3× rule.
This owner also looks for a credit score of 650+ (around the New Eastside average). Close on either number? A larger deposit or a guarantor usually does the trick — just ask Mino.

Where it is
FAQ
Where does this listing come from?
Straight from the Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED) MLS, refreshed regularly. This is an individually-owned condo the owner is leasing out, so lease terms and pet rules are set by the owner — we surface the specifics here and confirm before you tour.
Is there a broker fee?
No. Dibze represents you, the renter — not the owner. You won't pay us a broker fee, and there's no fee just to tour or apply.
How does the application work?
Start a rental application and we email you a secure link. A soft credit check to start; the per-adult screening fee isn't charged until the owner accepts your application.
