Design-driven development firm Optima, Inc. held the grand opening of its 198-unit Optima Lakeview luxury rental apartment building at 3478 N. Broadway in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood, featuring the region’s first year-round rooftop pool.

“We’re excited to bring to market Optima Lakeview, a development as vibrant and dynamic as the surrounding Lakeview neighborhood for which it’s named,” said David Hovey Jr., president, COO and principal architect of Optima. The project was designed by Optima’s CEO and founder, David Hovey Sr.

Currently 35% leased, Optima Lakeview offers one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans with high-end finishes and smart home technology. Rents start at $2,500 per month.

“Lakeview residents who watched the building take shape were among the first to sign a lease with a majority saying the primary reasons were our architectural design, amenity package that spans 40,000 square feet, resident programming and convenient location,” Hovey added
