When a hospitality company known for developing properties like The Langham turns its expertise to a residential high-rise, attention to comfort is a high priority. Essex on the Park, developed by Oxford Capital Group, has a stated mission to “exceed your expectations, simplify your life and delight you in unexpected ways.” The company accomplished its mission by designing Essex to achieve the city’s first WELL certification, which means that the systems for air, water, noise and light are all engineered for maximum comfort and health. The building’s amenities, which definitely also contribute to wellness, include the four-story winter garden with an indoor pool and sliding walls leading to outside cabanas and grill areas—making it sound like a very hospitable place to call home. Monthly rent from $1,750-$3,660, 808 S. Michigan Ave.
