Lakeshore East is Chicago's most architecturally distinguished neighborhood — home to the iconic Aqua Tower (Jeanne Gang), the 101-story St. Regis Chicago, the lakefront Cirrus, 340 on the Park, The Regatta, and a dozen more glass towers rising above Millennium Park. These buildings were built with premium finishes — but builder-grade finishes, not your finishes. That's where we come in.
Assembly Squad's headquarters is at 205 N Michigan Ave — 3 blocks from Lakeshore East's park. We walk past Aqua, the St. Regis, and the Riverwalk on our way to work. No contractor understands these buildings' HOA requirements, freight elevator protocols, and management companies the way we do. After completing condo renovations throughout Lakeshore East's 60601 zip code, we've mastered what it takes to upgrade builder finishes into true custom living in Chicago's most sought-after address.
From kitchen upgrades in Aqua Tower to full gut renovations in the St. Regis — tailored for Lakeshore East's modern glass high-rises in 60601.
Upgrade from builder-grade to custom — Illinois-made cabinetry, quartzite countertops, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, designer backsplash, and modern lighting designed to frame your lake and river views. Open-concept wall removals available.
