River City Private Residences is a truly a unique condominium project. It is more than just a concrete structure; it is a whole community enjoying a great way of life in Chicago's South Loop Neighborhood. The building features a one-of-a-kind design, a must see regardless of you being a potential buyer or not. But this shouldn’t come as a big surprise, considering the company that is behind the whole thing is American INVSCO which is regarded as the top national condominium developer.
River City is an S-shaped apartment where the idea was to build a city within a city where one would have all of the necessary living amenities right at one's doorstep. Initial plans were to have a complex even larger than that of Marina, with three interconnected buildings linked by sky bridges and topping out at 72 stories (the Marina Towers are both 64 stories). Goldberg began planning River City in 1968, though the intended scale was never realized due to political pressures concerning population density and zoning restrictions.
River City came to life in the form of an S-shaped complex along the South branch of the Chicago River approaching Chinatown. River City and Marina City both share similarities in form and material, curvy concrete, though the Marina Towers are much taller and River City is more sprawling. Finally completed in 1986, the building complex has that 1960's retro feel seen in the Marina City complex despite being built nearly 20 years after the corncobs. When approaching River City by boat along the Chicago River, one cannot help but stare and analyze this interesting structure. A total of eleven floor plans are available at the River City Private Residences, in order to meet the needs of as many people as possible. The floor plans are: Studio with Balcony, One Bedroom, One Bedroom Deluxe, Two Bedroom/ Two Baths, Two Bedroom Duplex, Three Bedroom Duplex - Type A, Three Bedroom Duplex - Type B, Three Bedroom Duplex - Type C, Penthouse: Two Bedroom, Penthouse: Three Bedroom, Penthouse: Four Bedroom. In addition, the building has its own private marina. Although, with second bedrooms being 132 square feet on average, your kids and their little buddies will have enough space to camp out on the floor in their own room if they want.

River City offers a unique blend of a natural locale with proximity to the city's center.

The scenic marina, landscaped park, and the city's River Walk provide a calming oasis and the perfect complement to an action-packed, urban lifestyle.
New York Times has described River City Private Residence as a "remarkable space, unusually lyrical and soft in feeling...just wide enough to feel important and monumental, just narrow enough to have a sense of energy."
