Chess Records

The South Loop in Chicago offers a really unique opportunity to own a part of history in the form of concrete lofts in the Old Chess Records Company building. Not to long ago it seemed that this neighborhood was a forgotten area in the south loop, marked by empty warehouses & urban blight. Now transformed into a vibrant trendy neighborhood, one that you will be proud to call home.

Located in the Historical Prairie District at South Prairie Avenue and 21st Street Chess Lofts is an innovative redevelopment of a former warehouse owned by the Chess Record Company.
