Like Modern? First Re-Sale in River North’s Case Study
Lots of people were excited about Case Study, an 11 unit boutique building at 156 W. Superior in River North that was finished in 2006.
It was a completely modern building, with concrete floors and gray Italian kitchens. It won accolades from various architecture firms and magazines. The units sold out pretty quickly.
The first re-sale has appeared on the market.
Unit #201: 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1560 square feet and a nice terrace
- Currently listed for $819,000 with $25,000 for the parking
- Sold in April 2006 for $767,760
They’re not going to make much money off the sale. There is also a lot of competition now in the “modern” category with Helmut Jahn’s 600 N. Fairbanks and 550 N. St. Clair. Both have similar looks with the Italian kitchens and use of concrete. Both are full amenity buildings with doormen, whereas Case Study is small and on a quiet River North street.
But there is something just nice about this unit. Maybe it is because it isn’t in a high rise.
Kathleen Tannyhill at Baird & Warner has the listing.
