Get a 2-Bedroom Brick and Timber Loft in West Loop Gate for $435,000: 625 W. Jackson
This 2-bedroom corner loft in the Capitol Hill Lofts at 625 W. Jackson in West Loop Gate came on the market in December 2024.
Built in 1918, it used to house several small manufacturing companies including a hat maker, a printer, and Uneeda Vacuum Company. It was converted into 90 loft condos in 2000.
It has gated outdoor parking, an exercise room and a storage room. There’s no door staff.
This unit is a corner with a split floor plan. It has authentic loft features including large industrial windows, including in both bedrooms, exposed brick and duct work, and wood plank ceilings.
There are hardwood floors in the living/dining room and kitchen, which is open concept, and carpet in the bedrooms.
The kitchen has wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. There is no island.
The primary suite has a walk-in-closet with custom shelving and a “recently updated” en-suite bathroom with dual vanities, a marble shower and linen closet.
The second bathroom has a soaking tub and linen closet.
This loft has the features buyers look for including central air, washer/dryer in the unit and a gated outdoor parking space is included.
It has a balcony off the living/dining room.
Capitol Hill Lofts has a 7-Eleven in the building (not the White Hen as depicted in my photo. RIP White Hen) and is near shops and restaurants of West Loop, including Greektown, and West Loop Gate, including Union Station and the Willis Tower food hall.
It is next to the H Mart and steps from Lou Mitchell’s.
This building is near multiple bus lines, including the Union Station Transit Center, and the Blue line el.
Listed at $435,000, is this a better a deal than renting?

From the listing:
“is perfectly situated in the sought-after West Loop neighborhood”
How’d it become West Loop Gate in the post?
Square footage includes the balcony, for sure. Bedroom dimension *both* include the useless finger area (considered ‘peninsula’ went with finger bc it’s so appropriate).
Nits about finishes and questionable construction decisions: too many to list.
the primary bathroom updates are just not good. why not install a bigger double vanity that runs wall to wall for more counter space. not updating the tub and shower was a mistake as well.
