Lakefront high-rise condos
East-facing Streeterville units get flat, bright morning light off the water. Cooler grays and pale oaks read beautifully in it; very warm reds do not.
Flooring in Streeterville
Streeterville sits east of Michigan Avenue between the river and Oak Street Beach, wrapped around Navy Pier and the medical campus. It is high-rise living almost end to end, and we install every floor here ourselves.

Homes in Streeterville
Mid-century towers
The older Streeterville stock has thinner slabs and neighbors close above and below. Sound underlayment is not optional here — it's the difference between an approved install and a complaint.
Hotel-condo and serviced residences
Buildings with hospitality management have the strictest access rules downtown. We work to their schedule and their paperwork.
Medical-campus pieds-à-terre
Smaller units near the hospitals that need a durable, quiet, low-maintenance floor installed in a short window.

What We Install Here
Wool plush carpet
Our Streeterville Plush Wool was named for these bedrooms — deep, quiet, and warm underfoot over a concrete slab.
Cool-toned engineered oak
Pale and gray-washed oak holds up to the lake light without going yellow.
Acoustic underlayment systems
Built to the sound rating your Streeterville association publishes, and documented for the board.
Porcelain in baths and entries
Marble-look porcelain gives the lakefront look with none of the sealing and etching of real stone.

Streeterville questions
Good to Know
- My Streeterville board requires a sound rating. Can you meet it?
- Yes. Tell us the IIC and STC numbers in your rules and we'll spec an assembly that meets them, then hand you the documentation for the board.
- Is carpet or hardwood better in a lakefront high-rise?
- Many Streeterville owners do both — engineered wood in living and dining areas, wool carpet in bedrooms. Carpet is the quieter choice over a slab.
- How far ahead should I book?
- Freight elevator availability drives the schedule more than we do. Two to four weeks of notice is comfortable for most Streeterville buildings.
