It was working when we toured, but we have not seen it operational at any point since becoming residents. * Hot tub cleanliness: On February 28, 2026, when we turned on the hot tub jets, a grimy black film resembling dirt began accumulating in the water. I took photos that night (see attached). This raised serious concerns about maintenance and cleanliness. * Swimming lessons representation and lack of response: During our tour in November 2025, a leasing staff member told us that free swimming lessons were offered to renters, and we confirmed this multiple times because it mattered to us. After moving in, an onsite swimming instructor told us that, to his understanding, there are no free lessons. When we mentioned we had been told the lessons were free and asked whether he had heard similar questions from other residents, he told us yes. We emailed management on February 19, 2026 asking how to enroll or to clarify whether free lessons are offered, and as of March 1, 2026, we have not received any response. In other replies to reviews that complained about amenities, the rental office has said the hotel manages the amenities. But these amenities are still advertised as part of the residential experience, and from a resident perspective the distinction doesn't change the outcome--we relied on what was represented when deciding where to live. If these issues are resolved or clarified, I will update this review. For now, prospective residents should independently verify the current status and availability of any amenities that are important to them.

The amenities are…read morephenomenal the deck the pool the cabanas the grills they have everything a sauna a steam room literally whatever you think they have they probably do.

She brings such positive energy and professionalism that instantly set the tone for a great living experience. She's also just fun to talk to, carries a welcoming attitude, quick follow-ups, and deep knowledge of the building made the leasing process smooth and enjoyable. Beyond just the leasing experience, the building itself is a gem. The location is unbeatable -- close to everything, yet just far enough removed to feel like a peaceful retreat in the city. And the views are absolutely stunning, whether it's sunrise, sunset, the unobstructed views of the city skyline never get old Serena is always upbeat, helpful, and genuinely passionate about creating a great experience for residents. She sets a high standard, not just for leasing agents, but for customer service in general. If you're thinking about moving here, know that you'll be in excellent hands -- and that you're choosing a place that offers both luxury living and a fantastic team behind the scenes. Thank you, Serena, for making this building feel like home from the very beginning!

She ensures the safety and comfortability of all of the residents and takes the time to make sure all individuals are taken care of.

She is always smiling, remembers everyone's name and is VERY professional.

I…read morehave lived in multiple high-rises over the last 7 years and this building doesn't even come close to the amazing places I've lived in yet paying by FAR the most here for half of the great things about the other buildings. This is the only building on the planet with no freight/move-in elevators so they take the other elevator completely out of commission giving ONE elevator to 18 busy floors of 20ish units. I've waited 10+ minutes just to get in the elevator and have been late for work on multiple occasions because they give the elevator to people moving in during PEAK hours. To add insult to injury, the cold/unkind and totally apathetic leasing office takes the elevator ONE FLOOR UP AND DOWN instead of using the stairs. All the residents constantly look at each other in disbelief every time it happens. They never say hi to anyone and inconvenience residents on a daily basis. Resident Events are nonexistent and when they do, they're either BYOB (seriously?) cold cheap pizza or 1 seltzer. Gee, thanks! I really feel the appreciation and value of my $2908/mo for one small bedroom. Last but not least, between the drunk people fighting leaving LIQR Box next door and the addiction clinics lining the street - this is a pocket of River North that is totally unsafe. There are ALWAYS issues out front and was even accosted by someone mentally aill walking to my car out front one day. I called Neha in the leasing office (also the biggest culprit of riding the elevator one floor up and down) to help me get the garage open to run in. It was laughable how little she cared, zero sense of urgency and didn't even ask if I was okay or follow up with me. Why hire people who clearly don't give a flying f about residents or their jobs? What's the point? Skip the overpriced bedrooms, unfriendly leasing office, lack of any resident appreciation and concern for you as a human being and go literally anywhere else. There are a ton of beautiful and amazing buildings I wish I lived in instead of Niche. Their only saving grace is the amazing front desk staff (Sherrice and Durandt) and maintenance team which has kept me here. I wish I never lived here, the office team here is TERRIBLE and the only apartment I've ever regretted signing a lease with. RUN! Picture below of comical free cocktails they were giving out (one sip sized!)

This building and its halls are kept spotless! Whenever I call maintenance they are always prompt and they get the job done. I am extremely picky about where I choose to live and the Streeter does not disappoint. I especially enjoy dealing with Noah who is always helpful, patient and friendly! The amenities are plentiful. The jacuzzi's are maintained and kept clean. Other buildings have failed in their attempt to keep their jacuzzi clean. Sauna and steam rooms are immaculate! They have a swimming pool adjacent to the jacuzzi. They have an awesome gym too! Close proximity to everything! Unbeatable!!! The Amazon package room is run well and they haven't lost a package yet. This is impressive and difficult to achieve. Elevators run smoothly and I never have to wait. The building really demonstrates how they care about their tenants and they take pride in their jobs and it shows. I have given them a five star rating because they earned it and they deserve to be praised for their work ethic and dedication to their tenants and the community. I highly recommend the Streeter. I cannot say enough good things about them! The Streeter is welcoming and I encourage everyone who wants a good quality of life and a clean environment to move to the Streeter. I stress to you all that this is the only place where I felt comfortable and at home. Highly satisfied.

    Warning: South-facing units are a sauna and management isn't transparent…read more We were specifically told we'd have independent temperature control -- our #1 priority when signing -- but management quietly shut off the building A/C for the season without notifying tenants. Even with outside temps in the 30s & 40s and windows open, our south-facing apartment reached 82°F during the day and stayed at 76°F overnight. When we requested an early lease termination due to a medical condition that makes me sensitive to heat, management refused, falsely stating that allowing it would be discrimination against other tenants. They also refused any cost assistance to transfer units, despite the high cost and effort of having to move again. Even with a portable A/C and windows open, the temperature never drops below 74°F and still climbs to 80°F daily. It's made working from home impossible and sleeping uncomfortable. If temperature control or transparency matters to you, think twice before signing here -- particularly for south-facing units.

A seamless combination…read moreof 2 different buildings brought together as one, one side is the "timber" side with timber beams and ceilings and the other side is the "concrete" side with mushroom columns and, in many concrete units the original "lunch box" floors. Most people balk at the assessment fee until you begin the laundry list of amenities and services that are included not the least of which is an on-site staff including the building manager, maintenance team and 24-hour doorman. Talk about security! Other amenities include gas (cooking and fireplace), water, cable TV, parking (indoor, lot and street), outdoor landscaping, snow removal, garbage removal, and on-site dry cleaner. Pets are allowed at Haberdasher and the new dog park nearby has been a real boon to residents. The east lobby is beautifully appointed and well-maintained and is where the cleverly disguised common mail box area is. The west lobby is just as beautifully appointed and leads to the on-site dry cleaner (!) The elevator in the west lobby is where you can gain the easiest access to the top floor where there is a hospitality room you can rent, a mens and a womens restroom, the free on-site gym and half basketball court. Here too is where you can access the roof top deck with it's sweeping views of the south, east and west side, or the grill area, a concrete area with 4 gas grills for residents to share. Committees made up of residents put out a newsletter and coordinate activities mainly built around the holidays where residents can gather and celebrate with catered food and drink. Haberdasher Square is situated at Jackson at Des Plaines, 1/2 block east of Halsted which allows extremely close access to Halsted St and the circle interchange of expressways. Halsted between Washington and Van Buren is where Greektown is and just a few blocks away are the restaurant rows of West Randolph and Jefferson Street. The Taste of Randolph occurs each summer and is within walking distance of the lofts Union Station is a couple of blocks east making it easy to get out on the trains, or welcome your family and friends when they come to town. The main grocery store is Dominick's at 1 North Halsted while Presidential Towers is looking for a new owner of their expanded grocery store, opening soon no doubt. When I moved downtown in 1999 there wasn't much going on in the neighborhood. The area has gentrified beautifully without risking the history, spirit and character. Haberdasher Square Lofts was the development that lead the way and continues to be the type of building with the first class amenities for which others strive.

Probably one of the best things about the building is the property management and door staff. They are so attentive and go above and beyond in making sure the owners and tenants have their questions answered and issues addressed.

We couldn't have done it without them. Can't say enough enough about this building!
