Hoyne is a lovely historic street as it works its way north through Wicker Park. That street is lined with gorgeous historic mansions. It should be easy to sell there- especially units that are brand new construction with all the bells and whistles. It is only two blocks away from the restaurants on Damen/Milwaukee and the Blue […]
The Case-Shiller Index numbers were out yesterday. Some posters already have commented about them but in case you haven’t seen them: Chicago saw prices drop 2 percent in February compared with January, and 8.5 percent in the past year, according to the index. Nonetheless, Chicago housing prices are up 53 percent from January 2000. These […]
The flippers are still alive and well in Chicago despite the slowdown in the market. We’ve seen quite a few of them in the newly constructed high rises. But they’re also active in the townhouse market. Take 1145 N. Cambridge in Park Side of Old Town, the new development in the Old Cabrini Green neighborhood at […]
334 W. Menomonee in Old Town has been a mysterious building. 334 W. Menomonee, in the historic triangle, is Melrose Partners’ historic conversion into 18 luxury condos.

Marshfield is an 1899 brick home in West Town. It’s only a few blocks south of the Division Street shops and […]

The tallest residental building in Chicago has arrived. No, I’m not talking about The Spire (or even the John Hancock Building.) The tallest purely residential building in Chicago (the John Hancock is both offices and residential), One Museum Park at 1211 S. Prairie in the South Loop, has begun closings. Brace yourselves. The building is 65 stories. […]
