Remember Printers Corner? A 2/2 at 170 W. Polk in the South Loop
This 2-bedroom at Printers Corner at 170 W. Polk in the South Loop came on the market in October 2014.
Do they still even call this building “Printers Corner”?
It was originally marketed under that name in 2006 and 2007 because every unit was on some kind of a corner.
The building has 88 1 and 2-bedroom units on top of an indoor parking garage.
This unit is on a southwest corner and the listing says it has river views.
It has 10 foot floor to ceiling windows.
The kitchen has cherry cabinets, granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances.
It has the amenities buyers look for including central air, washer/dryer in the unit and parking is included.
The listing says this is a “regular closing” so it can close quickly.
The unit has come on the market $47,000 under the 2007 purchase price at $375,000.
The listing also touts the low monthly assessment of just $391 a month.
Are low monthly assessments in a mid-rise or a high-rise necessarily a good thing for buyers when the building has been around for 7 years?
Thuy Nguyen at 2E Real Estate has the listing. See the pictures here.

Looks tiny
“Looks tiny”
Yeah. It doesn’t look that big from the pictures (as that kitchen is small.) These were built at the height of the housing bubble when 1000 or 1100 square feet for a basic 2/2 had become the norm.
But the listing has no pictures of the bedrooms so it’s hard to tell for sure.
Excusie the ignorance but what is printers corner?
Also the kitchen seems a perfect size. Why waste square footage on a kitchen in a two bed condo in a area where people want to live to enjoy the entertainment and awesome dining right outside your door. Big kitchens are for boring homes on the north shore where “Francesca hole in the wall is “all the rage” and still a 10 mom drive by car.
Yes this unit is Taylor made for a north shore boring person to have a “urban” in town place
