Once a busy railway station with nearly 10,000 travelers a day, this 13-story building was designed by Chicago architect Daniel Burnham and completed in 1906. Originally named Union Station, it was renamed to Pennsylvania Station in 1912. In 1987, the building underwent a $45 million renovation which transformed the former hotel/office tower into 242 apartments including 55 corporate housing units plus 500,000 square feet of office space. The building's magnificent rotunda is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The building features brick and a terra cotta material that resembles brownstone, arched openings, marble floors, and ornately decorated walls. Amtrack still runs trains out of the basement of this building.
Now called The Pennsylvanian, the building offers 42 different residential floor plans including studios, one and two-bedrooms, and lofts. The two-level loft homes are located on the 10th floor and are available in either one bedroom configurations (905 square feet) or two bedroom configuration (1,575 square feet). Several of these dramatic loft residences feature historically restored crown moldings, wood paneling, and intricately detailed ceilings.
Building amenities include concierge services, 24-hour front desk service, valet parking, a fitness center, business center, hair salon, and storage spaces.
