Belgravia Group has unveiled a decorated model and started welcoming its first residents at Renelle on the River the developer’s 18-story, 50-unit luxury condominium building along the Chicago River, just steps from Michigan Avenue in the city’s River North neighborhood.

“Given that Renelle was built on one of the last parcels of land along this stretch of the Chicago River, it has drawn an incredible amount of excitement throughout the planning and, especially, the building process,” said David Goldman, co-CEO of Belgravia Group. “But of all the milestones we’ve celebrated with this development, watching residents as they explore the building and move into their new homes at Renelle is the most rewarding.”

Situated at the Chicago River, Renelle on the River offers stunning city and river views, including some of Chicago’s most iconic architecture, such as the Wrigley Building. With just 50 residences – and only three to four homes per floor – the building offers buyers an intimate living environment in the heart of one of the city’s most vibrant downtown neighborhoods.

Designed by bKL Architects, Renelle on the River features five floor plans, including three- and four-bedroom home designs, and a rare option for dual-level living in three-bedroom, three-bath duplexes. At 80% sold, Renelle’s available floor plans range from 1,827 to 2,517 square feet and are priced from $1,325,900 to $2,421,900. Buyers can move in to their new home this year.

“Renelle on the River puts the best of Chicago at residents’ doorsteps, while our thoughtfully designed and spacious floor plans bring a gracious single-family-home experience to urban living,” said Liz Brooks, executive vice president, sales and marketing at Belgravia Group. “We found this winning combination of location and style resonates with a wide range of buyers, from empty-nesters to families or singles seeking a home in the city.”

The model at Renelle on the River features the 2,517-square-foot floor plan B, a three-bedroom, 3½-bath home. East-facing views of the Chicago River and the city skyline can be seen from all rooms, including dramatic and direct sightlines of the Wrigley Building from the home’s foyer. An oversized east-facing balcony off the living and dining room is the perfect place to soak in the beauty of the surrounding architecture and life on the river.

All residences at Renelle include large contemporary kitchens with Snaidero cabinetry, natural stone or quartz countertops, and integrated Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances. In addition, each kitchen has a pantry and a large island with a Sub-Zero wine refrigerator.

Each Renelle residence features 10-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows to accentuate the views and bring abundant natural light into the homes. Gallery walls provide a space for artwork and photography. In the model, the gallery walls showcase a number of notable pieces from Belgravia’s private collection as well artwork on loan from Pagoda Red.

For privacy, the model’s master suite is at the opposite end of the home from its two secondary bedrooms – each with their own en-suite bath. The master suite includes two walk-in closets and an elegant bathroom with a large window; dual-bowl vanity with Dornbracht faucets; a Victoria & Albert freestanding soaking tub; heated tile floor with thermostatic control; walk-in shower with frameless glass surround; and private water closet with Toto toilet.

The rooftop at Renelle on the River offers exceptional views of the Chicago River, Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline from its 4,500-square foot terrace, which includes an outdoor kitchen, as well as dining and lounge seating. Indoor penthouse-level amenities include a game room, screening room, kitchen and entertaining space. Renelle on the River also features a 24-hour doorman, fitness center with private yoga room, outdoor dog run and bike storage area.

Throughout the building’s common areas are 22 works from eight different Chicago artists. Belgravia worked with CNL Projects, a Chicago-based art consultancy, to curate the collection.

“The artwork we have chosen for Renelle on the River is as much a part of this development as any other aspect of the building,” said Buzz Ruttenberg, founder and chairman emeritus of Belgravia Group and one of the city’s most active supporters of the arts. “Art brings energy to a space, and we knew buyers at Renelle would appreciate living with pieces that are a reflection of what is happening in today’s arts community in Chicago. The artwork we’ve selected showcases a diverse collection of work, but every element is intentional, much in the way every aspect of the environment at Renelle has been carefully curated.”

All homes at Renelle on the River will deliver this year. To learn more about Renelle on the River, visit the model at 405 N. Wabash Ave. Additional information is available at www.renellechicago.com or by calling (312) 955-0711.
