Magellan Launches Leasing of Gio Midtown Apartments

Chicago-based Magellan Development Group, investor Alex Vadia and J.P. Morgan Asset Management have launched pre-leasing of their 447 apartment rentals in the nearly-completed Gio Midtown. The building is slated for competition mid quarter and will feature units ranging from 386 to 1,919 square feet. A studio will start at about $1,585 a month, one-bedroom at $1,775 a month, two-bedroom at $2,775 a month, and a three-bedroom at $3,790 a month.

The apartments feature luxury finishes like quartz countertops, kitchen islands, keyless entry, blackout shades, and sprawling terraces to promote natural light and expansive city views. Wellness enthusiasts have access to a 4,741-square-foot fitness club, a spa which includes a Himalayan salt room, sauna and steam rooms, and a meditation garden on the amenities floor.

Residents will enjoy high-touch concierge services and access to everyday conveniences. Bozzuto is managing the property.

Inspired by Italian Modernism, the project’s namesake derives from Italy’s Gio Ponti, an influential figure recognized for his architecture, furniture and object design. Celebrating Ponti’s elegant aesthetic, the façade highlights geometric, angled balconies. The building was designed by bKL Architecture LLC with contemporary interiors by Fanny Haim & Associates.

Eco-friendly renters will appreciate a bike workshop and wash station, as well as electric car chargers. A passageway at the ground level allows for meandering by locals and residents alike, with planned retail, restaurants, and activations.
