New-and-improved Trolley Plaza to get new name, Washington Square, on July 31

Looks like the Book-Cadillac won't be the only address of note on Washington Boulevard. The public is invited to see the extensive renovations and improvements at Trolley Plaza Apartments from 5 to 7 p.m. on July 31. There's also a name change, Trolley Plaza will now be called Washington Square Apartments.

Renovations include an all-new lobby that will feature a new waterfall, artwork, granite elevator trim and furniture. The second, or "club" level will get an overhaul: there will be a new leasing office and business and fitness centers.  And the terrace will boast a new tennis court, BBQ area, pool and landscaping.

 

After the open house, the building will continue to be updated with fresh signage, facade work, and new elevator equipment and security system.

The property's new owner, Chicago-based The Habitat Co., has a history of focusing its portfolio on market-rate rentals: They also own the Riverfront Apartments and Lafayette Pavilion and Towers.

At the open house, refreshments will be served, future plans will be shared  and three brand-new model units can be toured.

Washington Square Apartments is located at 1431 Washington Blvd. There are one and two-bedroom or penthouse apartments in a variety of floor plans. Call 313-961-5820.
