840 N. Lake Shore Dr. is Res. Development of the Year

LR Development Company's 840 N. Lake Shore Dr. has won top honors as Multi-Family Residential Development of the year at the Greater Chicago Food Depository's recent Commercial Real Estate Awards ceremony. The annual award recognizes outstanding achievement in residential living and design in Chicago.
"840 N. Lake Shore Dr. was recognized as a commercially and aesthetically successful residential building that significantly enhances its community," said Linda Crouchelli, director of the GCFD Real Estate Awards. "It sets a high standard for future winners in the multi-family residential category," she said.
A 26-story condominium tower in Chicagoís Streeterville community, the high rise features 73 luxury residences, each with permanently unobstructed views, balconies and features tailored to the lifestyles of todayís affluent homebuyers. Its design, by acclaimed Chicago architect Lucien Lagrange, recalls landmark residences of the 1920s while harmonizing with neighboring structures. Commanding a prominent site on the lakefront, the tower rises to a lushly landscaped penthouse promenade topped by a distinctive zinc mansard roof. Each residence, designed by LR Development Companyís in-house interiors group, Synthesis Architecture & Design, provides an expansive canvas for custom interior design, with 9- to 11 foot ceilings, gallery-wide hallways, gourmet kitchens, lavish baths, and signature millwork.
"This prestigious award reflects our dedication to providing our buyers with exceptional residences, enhancing the community and building a legacy of landmarks," said Laura Davis Molk, a spokesman for LR Dev. Co.
