LMC, a leader in apartment development and management, today announced the addition of fitness studio Shadowbox to the retail landscape at Marlowe, a luxury mixed-use apartment community in the vibrant River North neighborhood.
Notable for its healthy contingent of smart-home features and boutique-inspired hotel feel, Marlowe now will include an innovative retail component in Shadowbox, which utilizes elements of boxing to help users achieve their fitness ambitions. Shadowbox aims to bridge the gap between boxing and fitness with “transformative benefits that offer something for everybody.”
“We believe Shadowbox will be a fantastic addition to Marlowe and will help promote a healthy, active lifestyle,” said Doug Bober, division president of the Central and Midwest for LMC. “The addition of such a unique brand of fitness will complement what we believe is perhaps the most alluring community in one Chicago’s finest neighborhoods.” LMC was represented by brokers Elan Rasansky and Anthony Campagni, principals of ARC Real Estate Group.
Shadowbox offers classes, private training sessions, various trainers and its own branded apparel. All skill levels are welcome, including first-timers. Marlowe will mark the third location for Shadowbox, which currently has studios in the Flatiron District of New York City and another in Brooklyn’s Dumbo neighborhood.
“We look forward to introducing Shadowbox’s distinctive, empowering concept to our Marlowe residents and the people of River North,” said Peter Chmielewski, senior vice president of development for LMC. “Residents will be the first to hear about Shadowbox’s events and they’ll have access to special packages. Like us, many residents are eager to see Shadowbox in action.”
Existing retailers at Marlowe include a Limitless coffee shop, which is integrated into the residential lobby. The coffee shop accentuates Marlowe’s boutique feel and connects the community to the artistic vibe of the River North neighborhood. It also complements the communities design theme of “urban bistro meets vintage barbershop”
Built on the site of a former barbershop chair manufacturing company at 169 W. Huron Street, Marlowe spans 15-stories and offers 176 apartment homes, including studio, convertible, 1- and 2-bedroom layouts. The community offers one of the neighborhood’s most comprehensive smart-home technology packages, including a Ruckus Router, Honeywell Lyric smart thermostat, Sonos One with Alexa and Lutron Pico Remotes for dimming lights and controlling smart-home speakers in every home.
Apartment interiors include floor-to-ceiling windows with city views, quartz countertops, wood-style premium flooring, stainless-steel appliances with gas stovetop, designer tile backsplashes, custom lighting fixtures and textured floor tiles in bathrooms.

LMC, a leader in apartment development and operations, today announced the retail addition of HOTWORX to The Morris, a luxury mixed-use apartment community located along Music Row in Tennessee’s capital city.
HOTWORX, a virtually instructed exercise program created for users to experience the benefits of infrared heat absorption, will open in the spring. The Morris, situated at the site of country music icon Dale Morris’ former office, is aiming to add another retailer to its 4,350-square-foot corner space with an outdoor patio.
“We’re excited to welcome HOTWORX to The Morris, and we know their distinctive brand of heat-based workouts will be well-received by our residents,” said Chris Cassidy, division president of the Southeast/Mid-Atlantic for LMC. “This is yet another component in the evolution of The Morris, which we believe is one of the most unique apartment communities in the area, and perhaps the nation. We’ll continue to search for the perfect fit for our final available retail space.”
HOTWORX is a sauna-based training that consists of 30-minute isometric workouts and or 15-minute high-intensity interval training sessions. The objective is to create an ultra-efficient 30-minute workout, as the combination of infrared heat, infrared energy and exercise accelerates the detoxification process.
“The concept of heat training was proven with hot yoga. But some people crave a more intense workout option. Infrared heat absorption training provides a new fun, interactive and intense workout for those who live, and are seeking, a healthy lifestyle,” said Elizabeth Paine, owner of HOTWORX. “We believe The Morris is the perfect locale for us, and we cannot wait to open our doors at The Morris and give residents and the people of Nashville a chance to experience our one-of-a-kind workout.”
Located at 818 19th Avenue South just southwest of downtown, The Morris features a music-first vibe with a recording studio and rooftop performance stage. Those features are an ode to Dale Morris, a key figure in the country music industry for more than 40 years, and the rich music history of Nashville.
The Morris consists of 344 studio, one- and two-bedroom apartment homes. Community amenities include a rooftop club with pool, fitness center, clubroom and skyline views of Music City, seventh-floor outdoor terrace with grill stations, pet spa and bike parking-and-repair station. Apartment interiors contain condo-level finishes, including quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, in-home washers and dryers, ceiling fans and luxury wood-like flooring.
