Urban living provides an array of outdoor recreation and entertainment options. With the entire city as your backyard, you can relax, dine, or celebrate al fresco at locations all over Chicago. Here’s a look at the outdoor spaces at our residential properties and beyond.

Chicago Green Spaces
Not all outdoor gatherings need to be planned ahead of time.

They also offer free concerts, performances, and entertainment throughout the warmer months.
From morning coffee on a private balcony to a champagne toast at a lavish wedding, we’re happy to help our residents and visitors soak up all Chicago offers in the great outdoors.
