Find Your Inspiration™
at Optima Lakeview in Chicago

For those who seek an elevated sense of home in one of Chicago’s most beloved neighborhoods, Optima Lakeview offers a uniquely holistic quality of life that inspires residents while nurturing a deeply satisfying sense of community.

For more than 40 years, Optima has changed the landscape of design and real estate development across the Chicago and Phoenix markets. Since its founding in 1978 by David and Eileen Hovey, Optima set out to control and execute every aspect of the process in-house – development, design, construction, sales and management – for a dynamic system that offers greater efficiency and flexibility. Working together with David Hovey Jr., AIA and Tara Hovey, they continue to refine Optima's visionary approach, innovative technology and progressive environmental standards.

Most recently, we have brought our unique approach to creating built environments to the city’s Lakeview neighborhood, as Optima Lakeview opens its doors as the boldly beautiful vision of award-winning architects David C. Hovey, FAIA, and David Hovey, Jr., AIA.

Residences that celebrate
living well.

The residences at Optima Lakeview express a personal sense of well-being through inspired sophistication, curated details and a commitment to artistry.

Refined elegance emanates from every corner, creating spaces that are beautifully crafted and forever modern.

Fresh air is the key ingredient in elevating the experience of urban living in our Chicago apartments.

Ranging from 67 to 1,606 square feet, many of these exquisitely-crafted spaces have been designed with trees, private grills and fire pits to invite year-round living.

Design first. Always.

Exceptional design drives us in everything we do, and Optima Lakeview is no exception: the stunning, light-filled atrium, endless views of the neighborhood and Lake Michigan from the spectacular rooftop sky deck, and abundant amenity spaces. The inspired use of floor-to-ceiling glass, concrete and natural stone. A world-class collection of contemporary art and furniture in public spaces both inside and outside. Across the entire spectrum of design, our unique sense of form and function has allowed us to imagine the extraordinary in the heart of this storied neighborhood. And while our passion for sustainable, thoughtful design has always been part of the Optima culture, we have pushed our own boundaries to ensure that Optima Lakeview offers a new, elevated sense of home for our residents and neighbors.

Life at Optima Lakeview offers residents endless opportunities to focus on their health and wellness — ranging from our full-court basketball and pickleball court to a golf simulator. With the Optima Lakeview mobile app, residents can also take advantage of several fitness options from yoga classes to personal training. Beyond the abundant offerings within the building, our proximity to the lakefront provides easy access to biking, walking, running, tennis courts at Waveland Park and the nine-hole golf course at Sydney R. Marovitz Golf Course.

Neighborhood

The quintessential Chicago neighborhood: timeless yet always changing


Lakeview is full of Chicago culture and history, yet it radiates the vibrancy of newness, with every small business or tantalizing restaurant on its avenues and streets. The Lakeview neighborhood in Chicago emits a laid back, neighborly welcome, yet its heart beats with an urban pulse. It attracts youthful energy, yet retains generations of cherished stories. In spite of these apparent contradictions — or perhaps because of them — Lakeview continues to thrive with an unquenchable vitality that has fostered and inspired performers, athletes, writers, activists and inventors to embrace a world that is perfect in its imbalance. And with its lively mix, Lakeview remains a unique gem that represents the past, present and future of Chicago.
