At Optima Signature, we’ve asked the same question from the very beginning: what does it mean to build a place where people genuinely thrive? The answer lives in the quality of lake light through a floor-to-ceiling window on a Tuesday morning. In the run along the lakefront path before the city fully wakes. In the feeling, hard to name but impossible to miss, that the place you’ve come home to was built by people who cared deeply. That feeling has a foundation. It’s what we call the Optima way.

A Growth Mindset, Built Into Everything

Since Optima’s founding, growth has been defined on our own terms, not by market cycles, but by a continuing journey to expand what’s possible in the built environment. At Optima Signature, that mindset produced a 57-story LEED-certified tower in the heart of Streeterville, a building that rises above the Chicago lakefront with 1.5 acres of amenity space, lake and skyline views from every level, and a standard of sustainable luxury that sets a new benchmark for high-rise living in the city.

The Freedom to Innovate

At Optima, we control every aspect of the design, development, and management process, and that integration is what gives us the freedom to make decisions based on what we believe is right, without compromise. At Optima Signature, that freedom produced a year-round indoor and outdoor heated pool, a Level 20 library and lounge, a Club 52 sky terrace for Apex residents, and an amenities spanning across 1.5 acres that treats well-being as seriously as architecture. When you own the entire process, you can hold the vision all the way to the end.

Committed to Lasting Impact

Everything Optima builds is designed to withstand the aesthetic test of time. We challenge what’s accepted and defy what’s expected. At Optima Signature, that means a LEED-certified tower above Streeterville that redefines what sustainable luxury looks like at scale, a building that is as responsible as it is extraordinary, and that will remain so for decades to come. The goal is never the moment. It’s always the bigger picture.

Passion for Creating Together

At Optima, everyone creates. Our culture is defined by openness and collaboration, the belief that the best ideas can come from anywhere. At Optima Signature, that culture is visible in every shared space: the amenity floors designed for genuine use rather than photography, the rooftop that places residents above one of the world’s great cities, the management team that understands what it means to live at this address. The passion for creating together doesn’t stop at the property line.

All In, All the Time

We are as passionate about the small details as we are about the big picture. The view framed by a window at a specific floor. The library curated for the resident who wants to read on a Sunday morning. The material chosen for a countertop because it gets more beautiful with use. These are not finishing touches at Optima Signature. They are the whole point, because residents experience them every single day, and every single day is worth getting right.

What It Means for You

To live the Optima way at Optima Signature is to live above the Chicago lakefront in one of the city’s most significant residential addresses, in a home built by people who believe architecture is one of the most powerful forces for human good, and who act on that belief at every scale, without compromise.
