As many of you know, I rarely post about rentals but occasionally I see units that are just so juicy, they must be commented on for those of you who are still, as some commenters put it, “living in your parents basement.”
This 2-bedroom unit, Unit #1605, at 600 N. Fairbanks, the famed Helmut Jahn building in Streeterville, […]
We’ve chattered about 600 N. Fairbanks, the Helmut Jahn-designed highrise in Streeterville, numerous times in the past.

We chattered about Unit #1505, a 2-bedroom north facing […]
We’ve chattered about Helmut Jahn’s 600 N. Fairbanks in Streeterville a half dozen times.
The building has seen some sales in 2009 with other units currently under contract.

We return to chatter, once again, about 600 N. Fairbanks in Streeterville.

There has been a lot of recent chatter about 600 N. Fairbanks.

See our chatter on a prior post and info about recent sales in the comments here.
But making a profit, in […]
Flippers continue to close on units thinking they can make a profit flipping them. Some have been lucky- especially in “prestige” buildings such as 340 On the Park.
This seller of a 3-bedroom in 600 N. Fairbanks isn’t one of the lucky ones. We’ve seen some 1 and 2-bedroom units flip successfully in the building. But […]
There’s been some chatter of the “amenities floor” at Helmut Jahn’s 600 N. Fairbanks in Streeterville because it finally opened (despite closings on units beginning last November.)
The amenities floor is on the top floor and has an expansive deck, an exercise room and an indoor pool.
As someone pointed out, the exercise room is extremely small. A tipster wrote me that […]
We have chattered extensively about Unit #1301 in 600 N. Fairbanks in Streeterville.
The 3-bedroom unit was on the market for months, had numerous price reductions, went under contract and finally sold.
It has set a new comp for the 01-tier units in the building.
Or has it?
Mysteriously, it is back on the market again. Priced over $90,000 […]
