8 Years Later, Will This Lincoln Park Condo Still Stand Out? 1005 W. Webster
This 3-bedroom at 1005 W. Webster in Lincoln Park came on the market in March 2018.
If this building looks familiar, that’s because we chattered about it in 2010 and 2011, during the worst of the housing bust, because it was one of the few new construction condo buildings that was attempting to sell units.
Many of you were skeptical it would sell, especially as this 6-unit building was luxury condos.
But it sold out quickly.
See our chatter here and the listing prices at the time below:
Here are the details from the time on those units which sold with the March 2010 listing price appearing first:
- Unit #2E: $759,000– sold in July 2010 for $705,000
- Unit #2W: $739,000– currently listed at $719,000 and under contract
- Unit #3E: $749,000– sold in January 2011 for $705,000
- Unit #3W: $699,000– still available but doesn’t appear to be listed
- Unit #4E: $875,000– sold in July 2010 for $870,000
- Unit #4W: $849,000– sold in August 2010 for $825,000
Unit #3E has come back on the market for the first time since it’s original sale.
This unit has crown molding throughout and a fireplace in the living room.
The kitchen has white cabinets and luxury stainless steel appliances along with an island (is this a breakfast bar when it is elevated like that?).
The master bath has an oversized steam shower.
The unit has a heated garage and there’s an elevator in the building.
Now listed at $899,900, will it sell just as quickly in today’s market conditions as it did back in 2010?
Paul Gorney at Coldwell Banker has the listing. See the pictures here.

I think we have different definitions of Luxury Condo’s
This place seems really cramped for a family of 4
I like how the building has a max pet weight of 150 pounds: “All pets are welcome … except English mastiffs, screw them.”
Busy corner where no one has bothered to bury the power lines. Nope.
I can’t imagine ever living anywhere with exposed power lines again. It’s just so ugly.
“I think we have different definitions of Luxury Condo’s”.
Sorry to do this but “condo’s” should be “condos”
The rampant misuse of apostrophes is maddening.
Is this “appreciation” really justified?
jenny, you key in on some of the strangest things.
these people really love their electronics
I bet the wife is poopin out a kid so time to go to the burbs to be boring and watch netflix every night now
What a bro pad. Vinyl setup, Zymatic Pico-brewery & kegerator, Arcade / gaming room, legit digital workout cycle, solid built-in bar…
Very expensive, but I like the direction as I have some of these things haha.
forget the condo. but I’ll take the game-room!!!
“Sorry to do this but “condo’s” should be “condos””
I tried getting the world to adopt “condominia” as the proper plural form, but it never caught on.
Your Amazon packages will never get stolen!
This unit underwhelms and the occupants have a lot of crap they need to put in storage or get rid of before they re-do their listing photos…..but proximity to Red/Brown/Purple Lines, Whole Foods and DePaul’s gym as well as a Core Power Yoga is pretty A+.
“Busy corner where no one has bothered to bury the power lines. Nope.”
This is a picture from 8 years ago (from the original sales of the building.) I wonder if that’s changed?
Perfect time to sell a new condo, 10 years in when everything starts to break down. I think the windows in the shower are really weird. Do you really need to see all over the bathroom while you shower? And the same thing with the bedroom, patio doors bring in enough light so you don’t need those other two windows, limiting where the bed can go, creating a massive bad feng shui situation.
I hate grammar police. What kind of existence do people have when punctuation on anonymous forums upset them?
If this is what you get for $900k in Lincoln Park, then it has just been confirmed that I need not ever live there!
Zzzzzz
“I hate grammar police. What kind of existence do people have when punctuation on anonymous forums upset them?”
* fora
The only thing worse then regular grammar police are stupid grammar police.
“The current entry from the Oxford Dictionary says: The plural of forum is usually spelled forums; the plural fora (as in the original Latin) is used when talking about a public square in an ancient Roman city.”
“The only thing worse then regular grammar police are stupid grammar police.”
The only thing worse than regular grammar police are stupid grammar police.
“The only thing worse then regular grammar police are stupid grammar police.”
An apostrophe is not grammar, it is punctuation. Grammar and punctuation are different things.
Perhaps it should be the G.U.M. Police.

I think most of us just lump annoying trolls together:
grammar police
annoying trolls on forums like youtube and yahoo answers who just LOVE to ostracize those whose hands may have slipped while typing on their keyboard.
Internet User: had the worlds ended yet?
grammar police: *Has *world. Your grammar sucks ass.
see troll.

I only ever point it out when I think it is funny. Don’t care if anyone else shares the funny.
“The only thing worse then regular grammar police are stupid grammar police.”
Maybe you should dispatch a radio signal from your antenna calling for the preparation of a memorandum on the extent to which usage is (i) universal and (ii) governed exclusively by the OED. Perhaps one or more people will receive your signal on their antennae and provide you with helpful memoranda.
Can that memo include the use of $M & $MM?
“governed exclusively by the OED”
as far as I can tell, the reference is to the OD and not the OED (and what I actually see is a claimed linked reference on teh tubes to the OD, but I don’t see it at the link).
“Can that memo include the use of $M & $MM?”
Taht I think johnnyu needs to write.
Which OD? As far as I know there’s the OED (arguably the most authoritative arbiter of English usage but also arguably not the end all be all; it seems I granted Fishin more credit than due), then there’s the OD (a dictionary company) that produces dictionaries for various languages, including English.
I like the front area – nice and light, with decent fixtures. Take the TV away from above the FP, though, please.
Seems like a decent unit at a great location, but listing is short of detail. No picture of the “beautifully appointed” lobby or bedroom 3, I don’t think. My guess is that the bedrooms are a bit cramped.
You need the power lines to provide the juice for the 6 foot wide arcade console.

An apostrophe is not grammar; it is punctuation. Grammar and punctuation are different things.
So, GF, how do you rank the punctuation police v the grammar police?
I suspect one reason the powerlines are on the street rather than in the alley (where they usually would be in the city) is due to the church across the street covering the block so there is no alley. If you go a little south on Sheffield, the powerlines go back into the alley.
“the powerlines are on the street”
The only part of those wires in the pic that is electrical is the power lines for the lights–standard Chicago neighborhood crap with the streetlights powered by overhead lines. Those stay on the streetside until/unless the street lights get replaced.
Then it looks like there is a telcom/cable/internet line running east-west on Webster from Halsted to Southport, where it turns north (westside of SoPo) to Fullerton. Runs down a traffic signal on both sides to underground.
Where exactly are there underground electric lines in Chicago other than the loop or some developments? Thinking about that, I don’t even think that all of Sheridan Road in Edgewater (east side) is entirely underground. Even with no alleys they are usually at the lot line in back (though, in my case, turns out that there was also a buried line under the sidewalk that nobody knew about, when a contractor cut it digging for a basement garage about a year ago).
closed 7-26 for $840k.
