On the edge of Chicago's West Loop neighborhood, in the heart of the Fulton River district, is sits a truly unique example of luxury living in the city. The Randolph Place lofts and condominiums at 165 N. Canal were originally constructed in 1922 by Daniel Burnham, the man who built Chicago's first high-rise and designed the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. When the building was renovated in 1999, architects were careful to retain the building's most unique nods to its commercial past.

From the inside-out, one would never guess that this building served previously as a warehouse and office building. On the fifth floor, a state-of-the-art exercise facility provides everything you need for a daily workout, and a 24-hour doorman ensures residents' needs are always met. What's more, residents are provided with both on-site storage lockers and a secure bike room.

Inside the homes of 165 N. Canal, it's quickly apparent that these were built as true lofts. Soaring 10 and 15-foot ceilings are accented by spacious room layouts and floor-to-ceiling windows, all of which combine to create a sense of cavernous living space. All units feature a private balcony-several of which overlook the river-and most include hardwood floors and even a gas fireplace. Kitchens boast granite countertops, detached breakfast islands and, in many cases, high-end appliance packages.

Randolph Place may have originally stood in a warehouse district, surrounded by labor and industry, but its prime location today puts it near Chicago's trendiest shopping scenes. When you are done shopping, being in the West Loop means you are near some great dining locations too. This building puts you in the middle of what Chicago is regarded for: the food. Go ahead and grab a bite and don't forget to check out the Randolph place while you are in the area.

Real estate is not only a career for Sam Powell but also a lifestyle, threaded throughout her work and play. A broker with Pride Homes Chicago, powered by eXp Realty, Powell has nearly two decades of experience in real estate and the skills to show for it. “You can negotiate a multimillion-dollar deal in shorts, a baseball cap and flip-flops,” she says. “You don’t have to drive a Lexus to be a successful Realtor.”
Her tagline — “Real answers, real people, real estate” — speaks to the culture she has created with co-workers and clients serving the LGBTQ community in the city and suburbs. “This is the best career a person who wishes to be themselves 100% of the time can have. It allows that authenticity to be the magnet that attracts customers,” she says. “I have the best clients for that reason!”

Powell pursued a career in real estate after a friend of hers suggested she join him in the industry. A six-time recipient of the Chicago Association of Realtors’ award for top-producing teams, Powell has also been recognized by as a top producer for the past three years with her previous brokerage and has received several awards for charitable giving from numerous industry organizations. She also gives back by co-hosting weekly workshops for peers via Zoom, offering them assistance with technical issues and education about apps that might have a meaningful impact on their business.

Since 2013, Powell has primarily focused on listings; her business partner handles the buyer side and rental clients. Clients feel empowered to work with Powell because she helps them understand that they are in the driver’s seat throughout the buying and selling process. “My role is as an educator, responsible for helping them get super comfortable and confident before the next step,” she says. “That way, when we are there, they jump through the hoops with confidence and clarity.”

Outside of her Real Estate practice, Powell also gives back into the Real Estate Industry. When not in Chicago, Powell can be spotted traveling throughout the country speaking at local and national organizations and events.
