5350 South Shore Drive, a sylvan respite in the heart of a great city. Horwitz & Co. has "walked softly" to maintain the classical beauty of an awe inspiring lakefront site. With great care, the bucolic setting is being developed for a sophisticated urban community, based on the collective enjoyment of Chicago's spectacular lakefront.

5350 faces a lakefront park and encloses lush private gardens. Across the green vista of parkland is the ever-changing drama of Lake Michigan itself, while the tree-lined street to the south offers East View Park with its elegantly landscaped gardens. Greenhouses, full size and fully equipped are available.

5350 is a green and flowering paradise with an interior park the length of a football field, planted with an astounding variety of flowers, shrubs and trees. Ten minutes from downtown Chicago, residents can rest or read in quiet corners on English teakwood benches beneath red maple and summit ash trees. Sun-warmed limestone slabs and grassy expanses of lawn invite you to stretch out and watch the clouds go by.

Completed in 1999.
