Streeterville is one of the most concentrated high-rise neighborhoods in Chicago. The blocks between the lake and Michigan Avenue are packed with mid-century buildings, vintage co-ops, modern luxury towers, and gut-renovated lofts. Every building has its own renovation rules, its own freight elevator schedule, and its own HOA expectations. Working in Streeterville means knowing how to navigate all of it.
Our crews have worked in many of the major Streeterville buildings — from the older Cordwell-era towers near Northwestern's hospital campus to the newer Magnificent Mile high-rises and the boutique buildings off East Lake Shore Drive. We carry the certificates of insurance most buildings require, we know the freight elevator booking process, and we understand the noise rules that apply to weekday construction in high-occupancy buildings.
A Streeterville condo renovation almost always starts with HOA approval. We help you put together the renovation application, scope of work, plans, contractor licenses, and certificates of insurance. Most buildings take two to four weeks to review before construction can begin. We coordinate the timing so you don't lose weeks waiting on paperwork after demo day.
What our Streeterville condo renovations typically include:
Logistics in a Streeterville high-rise are different from working in a single-family home. Every load of demo material has to come out through the freight elevator on a scheduled window. Every delivery of cabinets, tile, and fixtures has to be coordinated with the building manager. We handle all of that so you don't get caught between your contractor and your building.
Most full Streeterville condo renovations run ten to fourteen weeks once HOA approval is in hand and materials are ordered. Single-room remodels — just a kitchen or just a bathroom — typically run six to eight weeks. We can usually start work three to four weeks after the contract is signed, depending on cabinet lead times.
Pricing varies widely with finish level. A kitchen-only remodel in a Streeterville condo typically runs $50,000 to $120,000 depending on cabinetry and appliance package. Full unit renovations can run $150,000 to $400,000+ for high-end gut jobs with custom millwork and premium finishes. Every estimate is line-item written.
If you own a Streeterville condo and you are thinking about a renovation, we would love to walk through the unit with you. We will give you an honest assessment of what is possible, what your building will and won't allow, and what a realistic timeline looks like.
Recently Completed
We recently finished a full condo renovation in a Streeterville high-rise just off East Ohio Street. The owners had purchased the unit a year earlier and were ready to gut the dated 2000s finishes that no longer fit how they live.
The scope included a complete kitchen remodel with flat-panel walnut cabinetry and a waterfall quartz island, both bathrooms taken to the studs and rebuilt with curbless showers and floating vanities, new white oak engineered hardwood throughout, an expanded primary closet with custom built-ins, motorized shade pre-wiring at every window, and a full electrical and lighting refresh.
We worked closely with the building's HOA and engineer to schedule freight elevator windows, meet the strict noise rules, and coordinate trash disposal through the building's required vendor. The full renovation took twelve weeks from demo to move-in. The unit now feels like a brand-new luxury build with views of the lake.
