The Promontory is the first skyscraper Mies van der Rohe designed. Completed in 1949 it paved the way for many of his designs to follow. This 2 bedroom/1 bath unit faces the lake and, Oh the views!

Limited outdoor parking has a waiting list but there is a public lot with spaces available across the street. Front desk is staffed with security 24 hrs a day. Laundry room, bike room and storage in the basement.
