1017 W. Washington Blvd, Chicago West Loop Penthouse

We were called in by our favorite real estate pro, The Dowell Group, to work our magic on this unique penthouse loft in Chicago's bustling West Loop. Our mission? A "re-design + value engineer" that would have this condo looking so good, it would practically sell itself. And spoiler alert: it totally worked. We gave this space a major glow-up, proving that a strategic renovation isn't just about pretty pictures—it's a genius investment that pays off big time. Get ready to fall in love with the before-and-after because this is where the science of stunning design meets the art of a killer return.

Project Details:

Before: A dated loft with a disconnected layout and tired finishes.

After: A chic and modern penthouse with a reconfigured layout, custom millwork, eye catching finishes.

Purchase price: $1,095,000

Under Contract Price: $1,425,000
