Astoria Tower Residences and Spa is an exciting new development being built on 8 East 9th Street, which is the northwest corner of State and 9th. When completed, this Art Deco style building will be thirty stories of stately concrete and glass construction with elegant glass terraces. The 240 one to three bedroom condos at Astoria will all have amazing views of the Chicago skyline and loads of both building and unit amenities.

The location of Astoria positions residents close to some of the best entertainment and recreation venues in the city. Just a stone's throw away are Museum Campus, Millennium and Grant Parks. And evening out taking in a production in the Theater District can be capped off with a meal at one of the many excellent restaurants downtown. Or if shopping is on your list of priorities, then the retailers and boutiques on Michigan Avenue are just a short drive away. For excursions farther away you can hop on Lake Shore Drive and head anywhere you please.

All of the 240 condos at Astoria come with balconies that are fitted with insulated sliding glass doors. The unit windows are expansive and made with the same energy efficient glass, are double pane and come with window treatments. Nine foot high ceilings are standard. The outer door is crafted from solid wood and has a view lens for safety. The interior doors have a six panel design and are coated with high quality paint. All doors are fitted with brushed chrome knobs and hardware, giving them a rich look.

High end stain resistant wall to wall carpeting covers the bedroom floors and hardwood runs throughout the other rooms including the kitchen, hallways, living and dining room. The condos have been wired for cable television, telephone, and high speed Internet service. Laundry can be done at home because there is a washer and dryer hook-up in each residence. There is ample closet space for storage and those closets have handy shelving lined with vinyl. Keeping safety in mind, both smoke and carbon detectors are installed in every unit and there is a central alarm system with sprinklers. Pets are even welcome at Astoria, so you can bring your cat or dog with you into your new home.

The building is staffed with a 24 hour doorman and residents will be able to use the receiving room for package deliveries. There is even a loading dock for larger deliveries like furniture or other items. Heated and secure indoor garage parking is offered, plus there is a bike storage room as well as individual storage lockers for items you don't want up in your condo all the time.

Workouts are easy to work into your daily schedule with the fitness center at Astoria. All of the latest equipment is at the ready to keep you healthy and in shape. But the most health oriented feature of Astoria is the Spa Life Center. This 12,000 square foot center on the 10th floor is an exclusive resident spa with several treatments and services available. The Spa has a sauna, whirlpool, swimming pool and two roof top decks with barbeque stations. You can have appointments scheduled by the Spa concierge so all you have to do is show up for your massage, nail treatment, pedicure or body treatment. You can also attend one of the scheduled Pilates or yoga classes held there.

Other recreation options at Astoria include the theater room where DVDs can be viewed, party room for special occasions or holidays and library for catching up on your reading. There is also a billiards room and even a golf simulator for days when you can't get to the links. And for those times when you have to bring office work home, you can use the business center or conference room for paperwork or meetings.

Kitchens come equipped with a stainless steel appliance group complete with refrigerator and ice maker, gas cook range, dishwasher, microwave, garbage disposal and double stainless steel sinks. The cabinets measure 42 inches and are custom crafted from solid wood in a variety of finishes. The granite counter tops also come in a choice of colors.

Bathrooms, depending on floor plan, have a large soaker tub and separate shower will glass walled surround. The vanities are also custom made with granite tops. Wall mirrors, twelve inch floor tiles and chrome fixtures round out the details.

Living at Astoria Tower Residences and Spa will make you feel as though you are being pampered every day of the week.
