Catalyst Chicago
123 N Desplaines St, West Loop, Chicago 60661
Catalyst sits right along the Chicago River in the West Loop, with units built to condo-level standards and a rooftop sundeck and pool with wide-open south and southwest views over the skyline. The resident lounge comes with a billiards setup and a chef's kitchen, and there's a real fitness center, a private yoga room, plus a dog run and indoor pet wash if you've got a pup. You're a quick walk from coffee at Starbucks and drinks at CH Distillery or Kumiko, with the Clinton stop on the Green and Pink lines about eight minutes away and a Whole Foods just as close for groceries.

Came to visit my friend for the weekend. She’s moved into this building not that long ago. She’s been begging me to move to the city and I’ve always told her no way. But I may need to reconsider!! The building here was so well kept, has …
