Crib Chatter

5 years ago, the new high rise 340 On The Park at 340 E. Randolph in Lakeshore East was just beginning to close on units. There were flips appearing on the market (remember those?) and more than a dozen of the units were listed as rentals. See our September 4, 2007 chatter here. The south […]

Several of you were recently chattering about a bunch of the units being under contract in 340 On the Park at 340 E. Randolph in Lakeshore East and how there were no deals in the building. It is true that two 3-bedroom units ARE under contract, but there are several 2-bedroom and 1-bedroom units available […]

This 3-bedroom in The Regatta at 420 E. Waterside Drive in the Lakeshore East development of the Loop (also known as the the “new east side”) recently came on the market. The listing says it has both Lake and Chicago River views. It is a rare 3 bedroom which also has 3 bathrooms (instead of […]

We last chattered about this 4 bedroom, 4 bath duplex at 400 E. Randolph in Lakeshore East in June 2010. See our June 2010 chatter here. At that time, it was bank owned. The property was being sold as one unit, but it had 2 PIN numbers and the units were one on top of each other […]

This 3-bedroom penthouse in The Lancaster at 201 N. Westshore in Lakeshore East came on the market in December 2010. It’s apparently a short sale, even though the current list price is $579,500 more than the 2005 purchase price. The living/dining area has marble floors with hardwood in the bedrooms. The unit has 10 foot ceilings, […]

The townhomes at LakeShore East, such as this one at 427 E. Benton, were eagerly anticipated as an alternative to the high rise lifestyle of the development. This 3-bedroom, 3-level townhouse has been on the market since September 2009. At 3739 square feet, it has a private elevator and an 800 square foot rooftop terrace. […]

This unique 4-bedroom 4-bath duplex unit at 400 E. Randolph in Lakeshore East, or the Millennium Park neighborhood, just came on the market. It is bank owned and the listing says “attention investors and rehabbers!” Each floor has two bedrooms and two baths. It appears two 2/2 units were combined with a circular staircase. There […]

This 1-bedroom duplex at 340 E. Randolph, in 340 On the Park, in Lakeshore East, boosts not just one south facing terrace but two. You can wake up with your views of the lake and Millennium Park and you can have after work drinks off your living room doing the same. This is no small duplex, as […]

We’ve chattered about distress sales several times in 201 N. Westshore, The Lancaster, in Lakeshore East. The Lancaster, which was built in 2004, was the first of the Lakeshore East high rises. See our March 2009 chatter about short sales on 08 tier units here. The unit mentioned in the March chatter, Unit #1008, finally went […]

Someone commented that we haven’t chattered much about The Regatta, at 420 E. Waterside, in Lakeshore East, so I will wrap up the recent chatters we’ve been having about Lakeshore East with this building (until Aqua flips pick up steam,  that is.) Unit #2701, a 1546-square foot 2 bedroom, is the cheapest 2-bedroom for sale in […]
