400 E Randolph St | Chicago, IL
The pioneer of its day and the largest, Outer Drive East at 400 East Randolph was the first high-rise residence constructed on the east side of Lake Shore Drive, in an area that has become The New Eastside. Initially Randolph Street had to be lengthened eastward to accommodate its new residents. Lake Shore Drive was eventually moved east of the building in the mid-1980s but the building retained its now obscure but recognizable and famous name. An impressive double height lobby with walls finished in White Sea Coral and polished granite floors welcomes both residents and visitors with the 24-hour reception and security desk being a comforting sight to condo residents.
