Opera REALTY is the Exclusive Marketing Agent for the Opera Lofts development located at 2545 South Dearborn Ave., in Chicago.

Offering a total of 93 unique lofts in a building rich in character and history.  The Opera Lofts building served as the set, stage and costume fabrication and storage facility for the Lyric Opera of Chicago (previously the Civic Opera and even earlier as the Chicago Grand Opera) for over 80 years. Built in sections between 1912 and 1924, the building was specially designed to accommodate the unique demands of large-scale opera sets, with oversized ceilings, concrete floors, and huge freight elevators. Over the years, hundreds of sets, backdrops, costumes, equipment and staging were designed, rigged, repaired and stored for use by the Opera. 

Today it has been carefully adapted into living spaces as unique as the original building design. Every brick in the building is original to the structure, and evidence of it’s storied past abounds.
