About Urban Escapes
Our Story: Connecting Chicago with Creative Spaces
Urban Escapes was born from a simple yet powerful idea: to connect Chicago's vibrant creative community with the city's most unique and inspiring spaces. Founded in 2010 by Amelia Rossi, a passionate local photographer, the company began as a small venture, driven by a love for the city's diverse architecture and a keen understanding of the needs of creative professionals.
Amelia noticed a gap in the market – while Chicago boasted an incredible array of stunning locations, finding the perfect space for photoshoots, film productions, and events was often a time-consuming and frustrating process. Armed with her camera, a Rolodex of contacts, and an unwavering entrepreneurial spirit, she set out to create a solution.
Starting with a handful of carefully curated lofts and apartments in neighborhoods like Wicker Park and Lincoln Park, Urban Escapes quickly gained a reputation for its commitment to quality, personalized service, and unparalleled location options. Word spread among photographers, filmmakers, event planners, and artists, and the company experienced rapid growth. Today, Urban Escapes represents hundreds of diverse properties across the city, from historic landmarks and modern studios to industrial warehouses and breathtaking rooftop terraces.
We have facilitated thousands of successful projects, helping clients bring their visions to life in some of Chicago's most iconic locations. Our team remains deeply committed to Amelia's original vision: to provide exceptional service, foster creativity, and connect Chicago's creative community with the spaces they need to thrive.
