There are buildings you sell. And then there are buildings you study, represent, revisit—buildings that become part of your personal narrative. Tribune Tower is that building for me. I’m proud to share that I’ve just leased Residence 2004 at 435 N Michigan Avenue for $14,000/month, marking my 17th transaction in this extraordinary address.
Few buildings in Chicago command the reverence Tribune Tower does. It’s not simply where someone lives—it’s where history and architecture converge into a lifestyle reserved for those who recognize legacy when they see it. Residence 2004, with its thoughtful floor plan and commanding lake views, is one of the tower’s most sought-after two-bedroom offerings. It’s no surprise that discerning tenants continue to choose Tribune Tower for rentals at the highest echelon of the market.
Why the Tribune Tower Still Leads Chicago’s Luxury Rental Market
Originally built in 1925 as the headquarters of the Chicago Tribune, Tribune Tower is more than a residence. It’s a landmark—a living piece of the city’s skyline that has gracefully transitioned into one of its most luxurious residential offerings. When the building was reimagined for residential use, developers had a rare challenge: preserve the iconography while delivering modern elegance.
The result was masterful. Today, the building offers resort-level amenities—a state-of-the-art fitness center, private gardens, an indoor golf simulator, 24-hour door staff, and a sprawling rooftop terrace with breathtaking views of the city and lake. Yet the building retains its historical soul, from the carved stone façade to the museum-worthy lobby. This balance of old and new continues to attract high-caliber tenants who want more than just square footage—they want significance.
The Significance of Residence 2004
Leased at $14,000/month, Residence 2004 speaks volumes about what the high-end rental market demands—and what Tribune Tower uniquely provides. Generously scaled, finely finished, and positioned to capture the very best of city and lake, it’s a unit that offers both serenity and stature. For my clients, the appeal was immediate: history, luxury, and location—perfectly fused in a residence that felt singular.
This deal wasn’t about chasing market averages. It was about understanding what makes the unit rare, who it speaks to, and how to communicate that value with clarity and confidence. That’s what led to a lease that reflects both the quality of the home and the caliber of the tenant.

This isn’t a building where generic strategies work. It requires precise marketing, direct access to qualified clients, and the ability to elevate a listing beyond numbers—to make it feel lived in before the keys are even handed over.
