Uncommon Areas: Luxury Residential High-Rises Offer Unconventional Amenities

The Wall Street Journal



Clockwise from left: Cascade and Cirrus—a pair of Lendlease-developed residential towers in Chicago—feature unique amenities such as The Conservatory, a 900-square-foot, all-season biophilic oasis, and a soundproofed, fully stocked music jam room.

While the amenity war has been raging within the multifamily sector for years, it does evolve. Taylor Johnson client Lendlease has plenty of expertise in this area, having developed a number of residential towers around the country, including Cirrus and Cascade in Chicago’s Lakeshore East neighborhood. When a reporter with The Wall Street Journal contacted us in search of experts who could discuss the latest offerings in luxury high-rises, TJ facilitated a conversation with Lendlease’s Meg Spriggs. The resulting article—which prominently features two popular spaces shared by Cirrus and Cascade residents, the jam room and the conservatory—explores not only what the latest trends are, but how amenities vary from market to market and to what extent renters will pay a premium to access them.
