Description

Infinite occupies the Gibbons and Steger buildings. It's unique among Chicago's new luxury student housing developments for its unusual layout. Two former office buildings were renovated and connected by a 12-level, sloping glass sky-bridge above Pickwick Court alley. The 19-by-19-foot historic Pickwick Stable Building below was converted into a trendy coffee shop after years of vacancy. Inside, 124 fully-furnished living units are designed to accommodate the surging population of college students in the Loop. The Steger building was formerly the headquarters of Steger & Sons piano company. Its grand lobby was magnificently restored following Chicago landmark designation. A rooftop oasis and patio was added atop the Gibbons Building as an amenity space.
