Could you live without any walls? This is the second loft in 720 S. Dearborn in Printers Row in the last six months that has no “real” walls. The first, Unit #703, I chattered about last October. Unit #703: 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, 1700 square feet Was listed in October 2007 for $475,000 Assessments of $841 a month […]
Deaconblue asked: “My question- are ANY new construction buildings that are finishing up selling right now?” It’s been a little while since I provided an update on what is going on in the recently closed highrises.

Burling in Lincoln Park was built in 1896. Most of the original features still remain, including the woodburning fireplace. Unit #2: 3 bedroom, 2 baths, 1625 square feet […]
