History

Construction on 111 East Chestnut began in 1971. The modern style exterior of the building is made up of glass and white concrete designed by architects Solomon, Cordwell, Buenz and Associates. The lobby is a throwback to the 1920’s Art Deco style with beautiful brass doors. The building was converted from apartments to condominiums in around 1998. The residential floors begin on floor 11 and continue to the penthouses on the 57th floor. 111 E Chestnut was originally 444 unit building featuring 600 and 700 sqft studios, 1,000 sqft 1-bedroom units, and 1,425 and 1,600 sqft 2-bedrooms. Today, many units have been combined to create larger 1,300, 2,000 or 2,600 sqft 2-3 bedroom units. After a certain point the sheer walls stop and end units can be combined.
