River North is widely considered to be one of downtown Chicago’s trendiest places to live. The location is unbeatable, the restaurants are first-rate, and many of the condo buildings are as impressive as you’ll find anywhere in town. And if you’re looking for luxury during your downtown Chicago condo search, here’s a quick look at River North’s most expensive condo buildings right now:

Waldorf Astoria

Although inventory can sometimes be lacking at Waldorf Astoria Chicago, as of today it’s home to River North’s most expensive condo on the market. And given it’s listed at $13.9 million, this unparalleled full-floor residence is also one of the most expensive condo residences in all of Chicago.

Plans for a dynamic new condo development in River North were released this month, a further sign that the luxury condo market is continuing to make a strong comeback. Being proposed by Smithfield Properties, the new boutique condo tower will be located at 800-820 N. Wells and stand 23 stories high while housing 55 individual condo residences. 

According to reports, the modern looking design is a collaboration between Berkelhamer Architects as the designers and Antunovich Associates as the architect of record. If the new condo tower at 800-820 N. Wells moves forward, it would replace three already existing brick low-rises, which occupy a building site of nearly 21,000 square feet.
