Well, it’s official. For the past ten years or so, Elmhurst has been waiting and waiting as all the negotiations went down around a project formerly known as Hahn Street. One difficulty with the project was the 2008 financial crunch that more or less put everything on hold in the real estate and mortgage industries everywhere. So the project sat.
But now it is no longer Hahn St., it is Elmhurst 255. It is a new ultra-luxury apartment building located at 255 No York St. in Elmhurst, near North Avenue. The 192-unit residential building boasts high-end lifestyle and design offerings and several on-site amenities. In addition, there are 12,000 square feet of on-site retail that has been developed, built, and managed by Morningside Group, a Chicago-based firm that has built a reputation for high quality design and property management in Elmhurst and throughout Chicago for 23 years.
There are 32 different open floor plan options at Elmhurst 255 containing walk-in closets, chef’s kitchens, luxury baths, and 9’ to 11’ loft-like ceilings. Outside of the individual apartment homes, residents can enjoy heated indoor parking, a theater, fitness center, community room and a courtyard with a pool, bocce court, grilling stations, fire pits and more.
“As the first rental development in Elmhurst in over 20 years, we are proud to introduce a new, luxury option,” said Morningside President David Strosberg. “The combination of expansive community amenities and walkability truly creates an ease-of-lifestyle rarely found in suburban Chicago.”
Elmhurst 255 offers a mix of studio, one bedroom, one bedroom + study, two bedroom and three bedroom apartments. For more information, visit Elmhurst255.com
