- beaeglebeachh 2y agoYes west of Chinatown. Cermak I think. Spice warehouse in days of old IIRC. Was used for raves decade+ ago. Place is a trip. I camped on top of it once when I was homeless. I've forgotten of that place for years. Truly magical. Thank you for the memory. I almost shake recalling it.
- Kon-Peki 2y agoI think there are multiple of these kinds of buildings. The one I looked at would be considered West Loop these days.
- hamburga 2y agoI’m actually looking at “West Loop” apartments right now. Would you mind sharing the address of the building?
- cozzyd 2y agoIt sounds like maybe 165 N canal if my recollection from when I was condo shopping is correct (it was a bit above my price range, but I seriously envied the large storage space). The condo I ended up buying (a converted office building in the east loop) has a similar hall of storage rooms but they are much much smaller and not practical for anything other than storage.
- Kon-Peki 2y agoSorry, it’s been a long time and I don’t remember. I know that we were looking for places that were within a 15-20 minute walk from the Loop offices where we worked.
- mortenjorck 2y agoI read your description and thought of a building in Chicago, but there must be a few like this. The one I was thinking of is in River North along the river. It’s a beautiful building, with roomy communal spaces and vintage timber all over. I probably would have bought there if I weren’t too noise sensitive for timber floors.
