We’ve chattered before about the lofts at 540 N. Lake Shore Drive, one of the few authentic loft buildings in Streeterville and the only loft building right on North Lake Shore Drive. Given the sales prices of 875 square foot 1-bedrooms in some nearby new construction high rises, is this 1470 square foot 1-bedroom a […]
Litigation is heating up over the financing at Trump Tower Chicago. Deutsche Bank filed a $40 million lawsuit against Donald Trump on Friday in New York Supreme Court in Manhattan claiming that Mr. Trump personally guaranteed the loan. From the Chicago Tribune: This latest suit, filed by Deutsche in Manhattan, calls for Trump to make […]

Nearly a year ago, we chattered about this single family home in the Old Town Historic Triangle at 235 W. Menomonee. The house has a private coach house and 3 parking spaces on an oversized lot. In December 2007, it was available to rent only. By May 2008, the rental price had been slashed by $5,000 […]
We haven’t chattered much about The John Hancock Building at 175 E. Delaware in Streeterville/Gold Coast but now that Trump Tower is trying to steal its thunder (and views), maybe it’s time to re-visit it. Why spend $700,000 for a 1-bedroom when you can have a 2/2 with better views instead? Current stats on the building […]
Okay- so it’s not quite a million bucks. But this seller at 170 W. Eugenie in Old Town isn’t messing around with small price cuts.

Here’s the listing: 5BR/6BA Victorian Home! 5 Beautiful floors of living space filled with exceptionally restored woodwork & detailed […]
We love townhouses- especially in Lakeview. But this townhouse at 3300 N. Kenmore is tired of waiting for a buyer, so it is now also available to rent. It’s also listed for less than it last sold for in 2006. Here’s the listing: Terrific 2 bedroom plus den/2 bath fee-simple townhouse. Unit features kitchen with […]
I don’t know if this 1913 Georgian home is within President-Elect Obama’s security “cone” in Kenwood (which has its own pros and cons, of course)- but either way, it looks like you’d have some privacy. Not only do you get 8 fireplaces but there are apparently tennis courts. I can’t tell from the listing if these are […]
