Before there was the Lakeshore East development and Millennium Park, there were the high rises along Randolph Street and Harbor Drive. The Park Shore, at 195 N. Harbor Drive, is a 482-unit high rise that was built along Lake Shore Drive and the Lake in 1991. It is a full service building with a rooftop […]
We last chattered about this 3-bedroom unit at The Chandler, at 450 E. Waterside Drive, in Lakeshore East, in December 2008. It had come back on the market only 10 months after it was purchased. See our prior chatter and pictures here. But 10 months later, it is still for sale and has been reduced […]
It’s rare that I get to do a flipper alert these days. But several new condo units for sale by investors have appeared on Craigslist and the MLS for the 83-story Aqua, at 225 N. Columbus, the latest high rise in Lakeshore East. Additionally, a couple are also already available for rent. Of course, there are also […]
It’s been awhile since we last chattered about The Lancaster, at 201 N. Westshore, in Lakeshore East. Unit #1008, a 2-bedroom, 2 bath, has been reduced by $89,900 and appears to be “cheap” at only $450,000. But is it? The last 08 tier unit sold in August 2008 for $420,500. It was bank-owned. See our prior chatter […]
Units continue to sell in 340 On the Park, the hugely successful building at 340 E. Randolph in Lakeshore East. According to public records, 3 units have closed so far in 2009. But there appears to be a growing disconnect between the north facing side of the building and the south side- which overlooks Millennium Park. […]
340 On the Park isn’t the only building with lake views in Lakeshore East. The Chandler, at 450 E. Waterside Drive, also has stunning city and lake views from the north facing units. Unit #2902, a 3-bedroom unit, is back on the market after closing last February. According to the listing, it is a “very motivated seller.” It […]
Not everything is doom and gloom out there. Remember the $720,000 south-facing 1-bedroom re-sale that was on the market at 340 On the Park in Lakeshore East in September? It went under contract after only 21 days and has now sold. Here’s its history: Unit #1107: 1 bedroom, 1.5 baths, 1186 square feet Sold in […]
We’ve seen a bunch of flippers trying to sell in the last year in 340 On the Park, at 340 E. Randolph, in Lakeshore East. But what is the market for selling one year after the building started closing? Given that a high floor south-facing 1-bedroom sold in the $700,000s just a few weeks ago, is there […]
We last chattered about The Regatta, at 420 E. Waterside, in Lakeshore East in March 2008. At the time, a 2-bedroom unit had been reduced $75,000. Apparently, the reduction worked because that unit, #1108, was one of the few that have sold in the building this year. Unit #1108: 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 1500 square feet Sold […]
The north facing 1-bedroom unit we’ve been chattering about, Unit #406, in 340 On the Park, has finally closed. Apparently, there is a big difference in pricing between the north facing one bedrooms and the south (or park) facing one bedrooms. Here’s the history of Unit #406: Unit #406: 1 bedroom, 1.5 baths, 1081 square feet Sold […]
