In the south Loop area of Chicago at 611 South Wells Street, the Vetro Condos and Residences is currently under construction and slated for completion in late 2007. The building will stretch some 31 stories high and house 233 luxury condos with varied designs and floor plans. Vetro, which when translated from Italian means glass, is the product of the Roszak/Architecture Development and Construction company. The building was so named because of the unique use of blue tinted glass to cover the entire exterior of the condominium. The combination of glass, concrete and steel creates a totally modern look but still retains the feel of Chicago's classic neighborhoods.

Outside the Vetro, the entire area is experiencing growth and renewal. A look in any direction will picture a neighborhood filled with eclectic shops, coffee houses, great restaurants, local farmer's markets and urban style apartments. There are many new boutiques and specialty businesses. The South Loop is well known for Chicago's Marshall Field's store, which has been acquired by Macy's. The Christmas season wouldn't be the same without the timeless window decorations and displays. That is just a part of the charm of the neighborhood surrounding the Vetro.

Residents of the condo will have access to convenient public transportation in the form of bus travel, the Metra and the 'L'. This makes travel of any distance much simpler. Sporting events and concerts at Soldier Field as well as cultural and artistic exhibits in the Theater District provide limitless entertainment not far from the Vetro.

Condo units in the Vetro come in several different floor plans. The square footage of each condo varies from 500 to 2,000 square feet. For single adults there are efficiency units of either one or two bedrooms. A number of the two bedroom condos come with a den. On every fourth floor of the Vetro there is a condo unit designed with a spacious living area that is devoid of columns. On levels 7 through 29 of the Vetro, the condo units are designed with nine foot high ceilings to enhance the free feel of the living space. These residences range in price from $140,000 to $600,000.

There are 10 luxurious Penthouse suites on levels 30 and 31. The ceilings stretch to 11 feet in these spectacular homes and prices range from $750,000 to $800,000. All prices are subject to change without advance notice and early purchase of these quality homes is encouraged by the builder.

All residences come with a spectacular view of the Chicago skyline and waterfront. Hardwood flooring is standard in every unit and carpeting choices are also available for the bedrooms. Condo entry doors are solid maple wood construction for both security and exterior beauty. A private balcony with aluminum railing and glass screen wall enables each resident to enjoy the beauty of the view during day or night. Energy efficient heating and cooling systems provide comfort at a lower cost and an environmentally responsible way. Every condo owner is provided with secure underground indoor parking.

Kitchens in the condos are designed to be efficient and attractive. They are fully equipped with dependable Frigidaire stainless steel appliances as well as durable granite countertops and garbage disposal devices. Bathrooms in the Vetro condo units are all finished in lasting marble and come with a large soaker style tub which is separate from the roomy walk in shower area.

Keeping technology needs in mind, every room will be pre-wired for high speed Internet access, phone lines and cable television.

There is a Level 7 terrace that enables the condo residents at the Vetro to experience yet another stunning view of the Chicago area. Level 7 also includes a fully equipped Fitness Center with yoga and pilates classes offered. A sun deck is another unique feature of this floor. There is a Multipurpose Room complete with kitchen facilities for entertainment needs beyond the space of individual condos. To cater to the business needs of residents, there is a special conference room available.

Residents of the Vetro can also take advantage of the Boutique Spa. This welcome amenity is perfect for relaxing after a long workout or a difficult day at the office. Features included in the Boutique Spa are separate men's and women's steam rooms, massage rooms, showers, and whirlpools and spas.

With its modern design, classic comfort and dozens of luxury features, The Vetro Condos and Residences will soon become one of Chicago’s best places to call home.
