CHICAGO, IL - Berkshire Group announced the purchase of Eight O Five N. LaSalle in Chicago, Illinois, from Smithfield Properties. The 32-story, 292-unit River North high-rise was designed by Berkelhamer Architects and completed in 2015.
Anchored by the Merchandise Mart and home to iconic architecture including Marina City and 330 N. Wabash designed by Mies van der Rohe, River North features high-end dining and retail as well as a vibrant night life scene. The neighborhood is within walking distance of the Loop and the financial district as well as Oak Street and Magnificent Mile shopping.
