The first rentals in The Emerald, 123 S. Green, in the West Loop near Greektown are now appearing in earnest as the first building is nearing completion. Several rentals have popped up on the MLS and several more are on Craigslist. These are pictures from the interiors of a one bedroom and a one bedroom with den. […]
If you walk north up Sheridan, you can’t help but notice the sales signs at 2930 N. Sheridan in Lakeview. The developer has been selling this conversion for a little over a year now. This is a bigger building than 3033 N. Sheridan which just started marketing about two blocks to the north. But the difference is palpable. […]
Several of you have e-mailed me recently asking about the new conversion building at 3033 N. Sheridan in East Lakeview. The building had its “opening” weekend last weekend and couldn’t have picked better weather to launch a new development. The building was built in 1968, is 16 stories and 143 units, and, from the outside, is […]

Crilly Court, four 1890s buildings converted into 90 condominiums last year, was a very successful conversion in Old Town that sold out within months. The buildings had been apartments for decades. The buildings are smack in the center of Old Town on Eugenie, Crilly, St. Paul and Wells. Units ranged from small one bedrooms to three […]
The sales history on this townhouse at 2707 N. Lincoln in Lincoln Park/Lakeview is interesting. I couldn’t find square footage on this unit, but it doesn’t appear very large. However, it does have a “bonus room” on the first floor. And a private roof-top deck. Bedroom #1: 12 x 10 Bedroom #2: 11 x 9 […]

Weese returned to SOM in 1946, […]
