We chattered about a home on Logan Boulevard but how about on Humboldt? This American Four-Square at 2048 N. Humbold Boulevard was built in 1921 in the Logan Square neighborhood. It has great vintage details but, as the listing admits, it is “ready for your updating.” There are no pictures of the kitchen and only a partial view […]
There’s been a lot of chatter about three bedroom units in some of the new construction high rises with around 1700 to 1900 square feet. We’ve seen these routinely listed around $800,000 to $1 million. I recently stumbled across these two units selling in The Chandler, at 450 E. Waterside Drive, in Lakeshore East. The building is a new […]
Crain’s discusses the rate of foreclosure in many of the American Invsco buildings from 2001-2008 in this week’s issue.

It certainly has some interesting data regarding the three month time period from December 2007 to February 2008 (the dead of winter, aka, the “slow” period in Chicago real estate) compared with the same time period the year before (Dec […]
We are so used to the granite, stainless steel and other “modern” interiors we forget that only ten years ago, those weren’t the norm in conversions and new construction in the city. 300 W. Grand in River North is a loft building that was converted in the 1990s. Some of the units have been upgraded […]
Do you like modern interiors? 950 N. Michigan #5402 could be your dream home. The building was built in 1984 at the north end of the Mag Mile. This particular unit was last sold in 2005 and has been renovated. From the listing: ABSOLUTELY THE MOST INCREDIBLE, SOPHISTICATED FULLY RENOVATED UNIT JUST COMPLETED BY DESIGNER MICHAEL RICHMAN! […]
We chattered about 850 W. Diversey in Lakeview in April 2008.
