Green is an 11-unit brick and timber building that’s within a short stroll to the restaurants on Randolph Street. This 3-bedroom duplex unit has 17-foot high ceilings.

We last chattered about River City, the American Invsco conversion at 800 S. Wells in the South Loop, in March 2008. At that time, foreclosures were selling at 55% off prior sales prices. Were buyers who bought the 3-bedroom duplexes in the last year a bit too early? What about buying now? Prices have continued to […]
If you weren’t paying attention, you might not realize that this 3-bedroom unit at 1530 N. Paulina in Wicker Park is a duplex. Because there’s a secret staircase in the floor that gets you to the duplex part of the unit. Here’s the listing: Stately vintage on the outside with chic style and modern convenience on […]

We chattered about this one bedroom foreclosure in The Heritage, at 130 N. Garland, in the Loop in June 2008. It had gone under contract almost right away when it was listed but fell out of contract. The bank has since reduced it further. Frank DeNOVI at Coldwell Banker has the listing. Unit #2410: 1 […]
Trump Tower Chicago flippers are apparently undercutting Donald Trump’s pricing on unsold units in Trump Tower, according to Crain’s. The article addresses the condo/hotel units, which we’ve chattered about before. Trump Tower remains only about 70% sold and has been at that sales level for at least a year. From Crain’s: At least 34 hotel […]
We chattered about Unit #2 in 1445 N. Wells in January 2008. Old Town, especially on Wells Street, was “hot” last winter. It has had several price reductions since then. But it’s now under contract. Maybe things have cooled in Old Town? Mary Robbins at Baird & Warner has the listing. The building only has 3 units and […]
