Edge Principal Advisors has acquired the Optima Chicago Center residential tower in Streeterville for $155 million.

The 42-story tower at 200 East Illinois Street has 325 units and was developed by architect David Hovey and DeBartolo Development. It opened in the shadow of Tribune Tower in 2013, four years before its 57-story sister tower, Optima Signature, opened next door at 220 East Illinois Street.

Rents range from $1,900 to $9,200 a month, according to the building’s website.
