1000M, a new, 73-story residential community in the Loop, celebrated its grand opening on June 13. The building features 738 apartments and over 80,000 square feet of amenities and is the final project by the famed late architect Helmut Jahn.

The grand opening kicked off with a ribbon-cutting ceremony where 4th Ward Ald. Lamont Robinson, Time Equities Chairman and CEO Francis Greenburger spoke. “More than 10 years ago, Helmut Jahn and I began discussing our vision for an innovative, iconic residential tower here at 1000 S. Michigan Ave.,” Greenburger said. “Needless to say, we are thrilled with the result – it was certainly a labor of love.” He also cited the help of partners Kara Mann Design, Willow Bridge Properties and McHugh Construction.

A celebration inside 1000M followed the speeches, highlighting the newly completed lobbies, indoor and outdoor amenities and four model residences.

The building is currently one-third leased and move-ins have commenced.
