Library Lofts at the Brock & Rankin Building, a historic 106-unit loft apartment property located at 619 South LaSalle Street in Chicago's highly desirable Printer's Row neighborhood, has been engaged to market for sale. Originally constructed as a commercial printing facility, the Property was thoughtfully redeveloped to preserve the building's history while adding modern amenities.
HISTORIC REDEVELOPMENT COMPLETED IN 2015
The rehabilitation of Library Lofts carefully retained many of the building's defining architectural elements while creating a distinctive residential product that would be extraordinarily difficult to replicate in today's development environment. Originally home to Brock & Rankin, a prominent printer and binder of books, catalogs, encyclopedias, and other commercial publications, the Property's industrial heritage remains evident throughout the building. Apartment homes feature oversized warehouse-style windows, soaring ceilings, exposed structural components, and authentic historic details that resonate with renters seeking character-rich urban living. Current rents average approximately $2.80 per square foot, well below rates achieved by newer Class A developments in Printer's Row.
EXCEPTIONAL PRINTER'S ROW LOCATION
Located in the heart of Printer's Row, residents enjoy immediate access to the Loop, Grant Park, Chicago's lakefront, CTA train lines, major employment centers, universities, restaurants, and neighborhood retail. The combination of historic charm, downtown accessibility, and strong rental demand continues to make Printer's Row one of Chicago's most desirable residential neighborhoods.
