The Ludlow celebrates ribbon cutting in Lincoln Park

Alderman Hopkins joined developer Heart of America Group to celebrate the ribbon cutting of The Ludlow, the residential conversion of the Ludlow Typograph Building at 2032 N. Clybourn. 

The structure was designated as a Chicago landmark back in May 2022, with its exterior facade protected by the designation. Built and expanded over time, the original portion was constructed in 1913 with a design by Alfred S. Alschuler. Subsequent additions came in 1918, 1921, 1928, and 1948 as the company expanded.

With GREC Architects designing the project, the converted building is now home to 121 loft apartments in addition to 20,000 square feet of commercial space. With a mix of studios, one-beds, two-beds, and three-beds, the units will feature high-end finishes, 12-foot ceilings, large windows, and select units will have access to private terraces. 

Amenities include a rooftop lounge with an omakase’ lounge, a fitness center with infrared sauna & yoga studios offering weekly fitness & yoga classes, a demonstration kitchen, media room, coworking lounge, EV charging stations, bike storage and repair station, and concierge options.

Move-ins have begun and though the leasing team has been accepting applications for just a couple of weeks, the building is on track to reach 25% lease-up soon.
