West Loop Condo for Sale: A 2-Bed Loft With a 600 Sq Ft Private Terrace at Metropolitan Place
What makes this West Loop condo at Metropolitan Place worth seeing? It is a spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath loft with nearly 1,580 square feet, a rare 600 square foot private terrace, and heated garage parking included, all in one of Downtown Chicago's most transit-connected buildings.
THE SHORT ANSWER
The Short Answer This for-sale condo at Metropolitan Place, 130 S. Canal St., pairs nearly 1,580 square feet of light-filled interior space with a 600 square foot private terrace, a true rarity for Downtown Chicago condo living. Add 12-foot ceilings, exposed brick, a gas fireplace, in-unit laundry, and included garage parking, and you have a standout West Loop Gate offering.
A Floor Plan With Light in Every Room
This is a spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo with nearly 1,580 square feet of interior living space. Every room has windows. That sounds simple, but anyone who has toured Downtown Chicago condos knows how uncommon it is.
Soaring 12-foot ceilings, exposed brick, hardwood floors, and a gas fireplace set the tone. Oversized east and north-facing windows pull natural light through the open living and dining area all day long. The look is true West Loop loft character, not a builder-grade box.
The 600 Sq Ft Private Terrace Is the Headline
Step outside to an expansive 600 square foot private terrace. That is a rare amount of outdoor space for a downtown condo, and it changes how you live in the unit.
This is room for a full dining setup, a lounge area, and a grill, with space left over. Indoor and outdoor living blend together here in a way that most high-rise floor plans simply cannot offer. For buyers who have been searching for private outdoor space in the West Loop, this is the feature that ends the search.
Inside the Kitchen and Living Area
The kitchen is built for both everyday life and entertaining. It features a large gas cooktop island, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a generous breakfast bar.
The open layout means the cook is never cut off from guests. With the gas fireplace anchoring the living area and light flooding in from two exposures, the main space works just as well for a quiet weeknight as it does for hosting.
The Primary Suite and a Flexible Second Bedroom
The spacious primary suite offers a custom walk-in closet and an en-suite bath with dual vanities and a separate shower. It is a true retreat, not an afterthought.
The second bedroom is filled with natural light. It works beautifully as a guest room, a home office, or a flexible hybrid space, which matters more than ever for buyers who work from home part of the week.
The Details That Set This Unit Apart
This is where the unit earns its standout status. Additional highlights include:
- Full-unit motorized shades with remote controls
- Custom California Closets throughout
- A dedicated in-unit laundry room, not just a closet
- Heated indoor garage parking space #C-251 included
- Exterior storage cage #84 included
A dedicated laundry room and California Closets in every closet are the kind of upgrades buyers notice immediately. They signal a unit that has been cared for and finished thoughtfully.
Metropolitan Place Amenities
Metropolitan Place is a full-service, full-amenity building. You get 24-hour door staff, a fitness center, a sundeck, garage-level bicycle storage, on-site dry cleaning, and car wash services.
This is everyday convenience built into the address. The 24-hour door staff alone changes how secure and serviced daily life feels, from package handling to guest access. For more on what life looks like in this part of the neighborhood, here is a closer look at the West Loop Gate.
A West Loop Gate Location You Cannot Beat
The location is the other half of the story. This is a prime West Loop Gate address, just one block from Union Station and Ogilvie Transportation Center.
You have easy access to the Green, Blue, and Pink Lines, Metra, I-90/94, and I-290. For commuters and frequent travelers, there is no more connected corner of the city. Whole Foods, Mariano's, H Mart, SoHo House, Mary Bartelme Park, and some of Chicago's best dining and shopping are all nearby.
Why This Building, From Someone Who Knows It
I have sold more than 80 units at Metropolitan Place. That is not a marketing line. It is the reason I can tell you exactly how this floor plan, this orientation, and this amount of outdoor space stack up against everything else that has traded in the building.
At 130 S. Canal, value is unit-specific. Orientation, floor tier, light, and outdoor space all move the number in ways a generic search will miss. A 2-bedroom with two exposures and a 600 square foot terrace is not the typical unit here, and that matters when you are deciding what to offer.

- 12-foot ceilings, exposed brick, gas fireplace, and hardwood floors
- In-unit laundry room, custom California Closets, and motorized shades throughout
- Heated garage parking and a storage cage included, in a full-amenity West Loop Gate building
