THE LOCATION

159 East Walton Place is the address of the residential condos in the Palmolive Building (formerly called the Playboy Building) at the southeast corner of Walton Place and Michigan Avenue.

The Palmolive was built in 1929, but didn’t have condos until 2006. It houses 90+ condos in its 37 stories. There’s an exercise room, spa, sun deck, additional storage and party room. Security is tight. Guests leaving a unit can only return to the first floor.

THE CONDOS
