I am personally very sensitive to location and architecture. I could not personally live in the McClurg Court building. On those two points this building is hard to beat. In particular, after you clear the hotel facing Lake Shore Drive and that old building in front, above the 20th floor I believe, the view of the corner one bedrooms is exceptional on the four corners. Those 920SF one bedroom corner apartments are the best in the business for the money. The space is beautiful. That said there is a downside living there, especially if your apartment was not renovated. The individual heating AC units are antiquated and noisy. The building is not well insulated and sound proofed. Elevators takes for ever. On the other hand the inside swimming pool is stylish. The roof top has been renovated and much improved with a party room. Here is the thing: you never want to leave your apartment and that is telling. I don't like what they did to the Lobby. The first renovation with marble replacing terra cotta tiles was cool. The new reception desk was great. The third renovation of the lobby is pain ugly flashy and tasteless.
