The Reed leans into South Loop's industrial roots with concrete nine-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that pull in serious river and skyline views, plus around 27,000 square feet of amenities including a pool, a big 15,000-square-foot outdoor deck, and a private two-acre park out back. You're a one-minute stroll to Polk Street Pier and walking distance to coffee at Necessary Coffee and drinks at First Draft or O'Neil's on Wells when you want to go out. The LaSalle train stop is about ten minutes away and there's a Trader Joe's roughly nineteen minutes on foot, so daily errands and the commute stay easy.
