Downer Place Lofts is located at 220 E Downer Pl # C5 Aurora 60505, US Downer Place Lofts - Aurora IL Apartments In 1980, the first legal lofts came to Chicago at 501 N. Wells St, in a project developed by Jack and Marc Berger called the Loftworks On Wells. Critics predicted that lofts would never come to Chicago — that it was a "New York thing." In 1980 and 1981, three dilapidated old buildings were redeveloped into open spaces with a sculptured interior core containing the kitchen, bathrooms and mechanical areas. This unique development sold out in a matter of months, and the area now called River North was born. River North – once a vagrant-ridden area of vacant lots, warehouses and buildings and cheap greasy-spoon restaurants – became the place to be over the next five years. Warehouse turned into residential homes and art galleries, on vacant lots arose high-rise condominiums, empty buildings became office space for the creative arts, and what once was old and tired became new and exciting. | |
