AMENITIES CAPTURE BEST SUPPORTING ROLE IN RENTAL MARKET COMPETITION

While location continues to hold a firm grasp on the starring role in the ongoing saga of successful real estate, exceptional amenities are enjoying a strong supporting role in the rental apartment market.

That reality is being demonstrated once more at Fifield Companies’ newest offering, Left Bank at K Station, a luxury rental apartment building at 300 N. Canal St. where the Fulton District meets River North on the west side of the Chicago River.

“There is no question that the inclusion of amenities and features that you would ordinarily find in a luxury condo building strongly complements our location -- which provides extraordinary views of the river, downtown Chicago and surrounding areas --

in attracting tenants,” stated Jennifer Saucedo, leasing director for NNP Residential, building manager.

Left Bank’s portfolio of amenities includes a club room, resident lounge & billiards room, conference and business facilities, reading room, state-of-the-art fitness center with a resistance pool and whirlpool and a landscaped outdoor deck. Wi-Fi access is provided on the deck and throughout the building’s common areas. Residents also enjoy free heat, a/c, high-speed internet and satellite TV.

“While they cannot formally be listed as amenities, we believe the quality of finishes provided are viewed as amenities by most apartment hunters,” said Saucedo.

Left Bank monthly rents range from $990 for a studio up to $3,084 for a luxurious three-bedroom apartment.

Standard finishes in the 451 studios, convertibles, one, two and three-bedroom units contained in the 36-story building include full granite kitchens, stainless steel & black appliances, gas cooking, in-home washer and dryers, paneled wood cabinetry, cultured marble vanities, plush wall-to-wall carpeting, ceramic tile kitchen and bath floors, cultured marble vanities and window treatments. Penthouse units also feature hardwood flooring in the entry, living and dining room areas. All features can be inspected at three furnished display models.

“The property’s close proximity to the Loop, River North and Near West Side neighborhoods provides an ideal walk-to-work and entertainment location unlike any other in downtown Chicago,” observed Saucedo. “And it enhances a very special perk that NNP has created for the properties it manages.”

Left Bank at K Station residents will also participate in the NNP At Your Service program, which includes a variety of complimentary gift certificates and special discount offers from participating downtown restaurants and businesses.

NNP Residential is one of downtown Chicago’s leading apartment managers. Its portfolio of high-rise towers under management in the Lincoln Park, River North, West Loop and New East Side areas includes 2555 N. Clark St. in the Lincoln Park area (162 apartments), 180 N. Jefferson in the West Loop (274 apartments), Grand Plaza apartments in River North (481 apartments) and The Shoreham (548 apartments) at Lakeshore East.
