How to get there?
Expansive North Center is in the North Center and Ravenswood area on the north side of Chicago, about 1.5 miles from Wrigley Field and close to Lincoln Square. The location is well connected: the Irving Park CTA Brown Line stop is a short 5 minute walk, the Irving Park Metra station is about 6 minutes away, and by car the building is reached easily from Irving Park Road, Lincoln Avenue and Ravenswood Avenue, which puts much of the city within straightforward reach. The same address is home to The Opus Chicago luxury apartment complex, so the building works as a live, work and play property rather than a standalone office block.
