Paragliding

It’s a common misconception that you need to live in a high-rise to enjoy views of Chicago’s fabulous skyline and a full range of in-building amenities and services. Not so.

In this part of our tour of Haberdasher Square Lofts, in the West Loop, Baird & Warner’s Ted Guarnero takes us up on the sundeck for a skyline and western view, and into the recently updated fitness room a few of the amenities in this West Loop loft building.

Ted Guarnero was part of the original sales team at Haberdasher when the building converted from a Hart Shaffner Marx clothing factory into luxury lofts in the early 90s. He’s also the sponsor of this series of YoChicago videos of the property .
