About the community
Ultra-luxury residences inside a landmark neo-Gothic tower on Michigan Avenue.
Tribune Tower Residences is a luxury condominium conversion inside one of Chicago's most recognizable landmarks, the neo-Gothic Tribune Tower at 435 N Michigan Avenue, where the Magnificent Mile meets the Chicago River. The original 1925 limestone tower, designed by John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood out of the Tribune's famous 1922 architecture competition, is a designated Chicago Landmark. In a joint venture formed in 2016, Golub and Company and CIM Group converted the tower and its wings to residential use, delivering 162 condominiums across a large set of custom floor plans, with move-ins around 2020 to 2021. The adaptive reuse won a Landmarks Illinois preservation award in 2023. Residents get restored Gothic architecture paired with a full modern amenity deck and hotel-grade services.

What it’s actually like to live here
Living at Tribune Tower Residences is, first, about occupying a piece of Chicago history. This is not a generic glass high-rise; it is a 1925 landmark whose limestone facade, carved Gothic ornament, and public tower lobby were painstakingly preserved during a conversion that later won a major preservation award. Residents get white-glove, full-service living: 24-hour door and concierge staff, a spa and fitness center, an indoor and outdoor pool tucked behind the iconic Tribune sign, golf simulation, resident lounges, and crown-level terraces set among the flying buttresses with some of the best private views in the city.
The location is as central as Chicago gets, at the meeting of the Magnificent Mile and the river, steps from the Riverwalk, flagship retail, dining, and the Loop. The daily experience is urban and vertical rather than quiet at street level. The Michigan Avenue setting means tourist foot traffic, event congestion, and a lively, sometimes loud streetscape, which is a plus for people who want to be at the center of everything and a tradeoff for those who prize calm.
Financially, this is a top-of-market building, and the carrying costs match the address. Monthly assessments are meaningful because they support a deep amenity package, extensive staffing, and the specialized upkeep a protected historic structure requires, and they scale with unit size. Because it is a converted landmark, floor plans are highly individual, so two homes at similar prices can feel very different. Walk the specific unit, confirm exposure and any historic-window constraints, and underwrite the full monthly cost of assessment plus taxes plus parking before committing.
The questions buyers actually ask
Tribune Tower Residences FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Tribune Tower Residences. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- How much is the HOA?
- Single-family homes are $2,500 per month.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Monthly assessments in this full-service landmark building scale substantially with unit size and location in the tower. They typically fund the 24-hour door and concierge staff, building operations and management, common-area and amenity upkeep (the pool, fitness center, spa, lounges, and terraces), common utilities, reserves, and the specialized maintenance a designated historic facade requires. Parking is on-site with valet, but whether a space conveys with a given residence varies by unit. Cook County property taxes are billed separately per unit. Confirm the exact assessment, inclusions, and parking terms for a specific residence.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $18,000 – $90,000 per year, depending on home size and value. Cook County assessor records are the source of truth. Happy to pull a specific bill on any home you're considering.
- When was Tribune Tower Residences built?
- Howells and Hood (1925 landmark tower); residential conversion by Golub and Company with CIM Group built the community between 2020 and 2021. Howells and Hood (1925 landmark tower); residential conversion by Golub and Company with CIM Group stopped new construction in 2021, so every sale today is a resale.
- What's the typical closing timeline?
- 60 to 120 days from accepted offer to keys. Cash deals can close in two weeks. Conventional financing is usually closer to 120.
- Is Tribune Tower actually a landmark, and can the historic details be changed?
- Yes. The 1925 Tribune Tower is a designated Chicago Landmark and a contributing property to the Michigan-Wacker Historic District, and the residential conversion won a Landmarks Illinois preservation award in 2023. The facade and public lobby were preserved, and because of landmark status, exterior and certain historic elements are protected, so confirm any renovation limits before purchasing.
- Who developed the residential conversion and when did it happen?
- Golub and Company and CIM Group acquired the tower in a 2016 joint venture. The Chicago Tribune newsroom moved out in 2018, conversion followed, and the 162 residences came to market and were occupied around 2020 to 2021.
- How many homes are there and what sizes?
- There are 162 condominiums across a large set of custom floor plans, ranging from one-bedroom homes up to four-plus-bedroom residences and top-of-building signature homes. Sizes and plans vary widely because it is a converted landmark, so confirm exact square footage per listing.
- What do the monthly assessments cover, and is parking included?
- Assessments in a full-service landmark building like this typically fund 24-hour door and concierge staff, building operations, common-area and amenity upkeep, common utilities, reserves, and historic-facade maintenance, and they scale with unit size. The building has on-site valet parking plus a car wash and bike valet, but whether a space conveys with a given unit varies, so confirm both the assessment and parking terms per residence.
- What schools serve the building?
- Chicago Public Schools assigns neighborhood schools by attendance boundary, and Ogden International is commonly cited for this Near North location, but boundaries change and are address-specific. Confirm the exact elementary and high school assignment for 435 N Michigan Avenue with the CPS School Locator before relying on it.
- What do units cost and how is the market right now?

Your local agent
Joe knows Tribune Tower Residences
Most agents will list anything. I focus on the places I actually know, and the things that move value here don't show up in the MLS write-up: which streets and buildings hold demand, what the HOA or assessments really cover, how the comps read once you account for condition and location, and where buyers consistently want to be.
When you're ready to tour or list, you want someone who has read the last 50 closed comps in this specific market, not a national average, and can tell you what they actually mean for your price. That's how I work. Text or call any time, and I'll give you a real take, not a brochure.
