About this unit

This nearly 3,000-square-foot concrete/timber loft in the historic Donohue Building offers exceptional scale, architectural character, and an unbeatable Printers Row location. Designed by legendary architect Harry Weese, the building is recognized as one of Chicago's pioneering industrial-to-residential conversions. Spanning from Dearborn to Plymouth, the home features east- and west-facing exposures, 10+ foot ceilings, oversized seven-foot windows with built-in seating, newly refinished hardwood floors, and original structural details reflecting the building's printing-press history. A generous separate study provides an ideal work-from-home space. The expansive kitchen is anchored by an oversized quartz island and impressive walk-in pantry. The family room features a unique curved ceiling and terrazzo flooring. The spacious primary suite includes a sitting area, oversized dressing room, and bath. Additional features include in-unit laundry, abundant storage, freight elevator access, and exceptional sound insulation from the concrete construction. The well-managed association has strong reserves, adding peace of mind and long-term value. Residents also enjoy the building's historic birdcage elevator, one of the few remaining in Chicago. Steps from Printers Row's cafes, restaurants, bookstores, and weekly farmers' market, with easy access to transportation, expressways, and the Loop. Deeded garage parking is available for an additional $35K.

Where it is

FAQ

Where do these listings come from?

Straight from the Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED) MLS, refreshed regularly — the same listings your buyer's agent sees, no curated subset.

Can I work with Dibze to buy?

Yes. A licensed Chicago buyer's agent lines up tours, writes offers, and handles the close. The seller pays the commission, so it's free to you — and we rebate part of it back at closing.

Can I rent in this building?

If owners are leasing units, the For Rent tab shows them. These are individual condo owners listing through the MLS, so lease terms and pet rules vary by unit.

How is this different from Redfin or Zillow?

Same MLS feed, different model — we don't sell your contact info or turn every click into a lead. One Dibze condo expert handles your whole search and represents you, not the seller.
