If you’ve been searching for a genuine brick & timber loft – not a conversion, not an imitation – your search ends here. Welcome to one of only 14 residences in the Meter Building, one of Chicago’s most special loft buildings, perfectly situated where East Village meets South Wicker Park. Built in 1907, the Meter Building at 835 N. Wood Street has a story as distinctive as its architecture. This four-story brick-and-timber structure originally served as a factory and manufacturing plant where many of Chicago’s iconic parking meters were produced – a piece of the city’s industrial heritage hiding in plain sight. Thoughtfully converted into 14 loft-style residences, the building retains everything that made it remarkable: the heavy timber framing, the exposed brick, the generous proportions, and the industrial bones that simply cannot be replicated in new construction. This spectacular two-floor corner unit delivers over 2,800 square feet of that authentic character, flooded with natural light from approximately 70 linear feet of windows spanning the north and east sides of the building. Light isn’t an amenity here – it’s an experience. The lower level is a single, sweeping, nearly undivided space with soaring timbered ceilings, exposed brick walls, and polished concrete floors. A thoughtfully designed bedroom area features a walk-in closet crafted from reclaimed lumber. There’s a full bath and a dedicated laundry room, plus generous storage tucked below. Plenty of room remains
