  This 2-bedroom on the 38th floor of The Legacy at 60 E. Monroe across from Millennium Park in the Loop recently came on the market. Although the listing says it is being used as the model, it is not owned by the developer. It was purchased in February 2010. It has northeast views of […]

This 2-bedroom at City Centre at 208 W. Washington in the Loop has been on the market since June 2011. It has been reduced $15,000 in that time. It is bank owned and currently listed $51,600 under the 2002 purchase price. It is one of the few units in the building with a 20×30 roof top […]

This 2-bedroom at Harbor Point, at 155 N. Harbor Drive, in the Loop (next door to Lakeshore East) has never ending views of Millennium Park, Grant Park, Monroe Harbor and the city skyline from its Southwest facing windows. Harbor Point is unmistakable, given its prominent location near Lake Shore Drive. Built in 1974, it is […]

This 3-bedroom in the Metropolitan Tower at 310 S. Michigan in the Loop came on the market in May 2011. It is bank owned. I’m not sure it actually IS a 3-bedroom however. The unit above it, #1309, is also on the market as a 2 bedroom plus den and it is a short sale. If anyone […]

This 2-bedroom in The Park Monroe at 65 E. Monroe in the Loop recently came on the market. The listing calls it a “pre-short sale”. The Park Monroe was a recent conversion of the top third of an office building into condos. The developer has not yet sold all of the units. This 2-bedroom unit was […]

We last chattered about a short sale in The Heritage, the high rise at 130 N. Garland in the Loop in 2008. It wasn’t the last of the short sales, however, as this 3-bedroom unit recently came back on the market as a short sale after having been on and off the market since August 2008. […]

This 2-bedroom loft at Metropolitan Place, at 130 S. Canal, in the Loop has been on and off the market since March 2010. We originally chattered about it in April, when it was a short sale and listed below the 1999 purchase price. See our April 2010 chatter here. It quickly went under contract (so […]

Looking for raw space that you could design into the home of your dreams? This 2-story duplex in The Metropolitan Tower at 310 S. Michigan in the Loop awaits. The building was converted a few years ago into condos. This unit is in the tower portion of the building. It is currently the most expensive unit for sale […]

It doesn’t get more urban than this 2-bedroom unit in Momo at 8 E. Randolph (or Joffrey Tower, as it’s now called- sorry- I still like the Momo name) in the middle of the Loop. Located across the street from the old flagship Marshall Field’s building (now the Macys), the southeast facing unit has views from […]

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom penthouse duplex unit at 208 W. Washington in the Loop in March 2010. See our prior chatter and pictures here. It was one of a handful of penthouse units in this building which also have large rooftop terraces. This unit had what looks to be the original kitchen, with black […]
