KW Commercial, the exclusive listing broker, is pleased to present a prestigious opportunity to acquire a corner office condominium in the celebrated Garland Building, located at the intersection of Wabash Avenue and Washington Boulevard in Chicago’s Central Loop District.
About The Garland Building
- Constructed in 1914, the Garland Building was originally conceived by architect C.A. Eckstorm as a modern, fireproof 16-story U‑shaped tower designed to maximize light and ventilation via a prominent open light court and setback façades
- Named for the historic Garland Stove & Range company, the building later reclaimed its original name under developer James Heyworth in the early 1920s, when it expanded upward to 21–22 stories
- In 1986 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, reflecting its architectural and cultural significance within the Loop
- Following a $9 million restoration in the late 1990s, the building was redeveloped in 2005 into one of Downtown Chicago’s first office condominium projects, with all ~170 individual units sold to owner‑occupants and investors
- Historically long‑term tenants include medical professionals, legal firms, financial services, non‑profits and dental/therapy users, reflecting the building’s reputation as a premier medical and professional-use asset with consistently high occupancy
