As we’ve chattered about several times, stresses have found their way even into the most prestigious buildings in the city. This 3-bedroom unit just came on the market being sold “as-is” in The Fordham, at 25 E. Superior, one of the more prestigious condo buildings in the River North/Cathedral District area. It is listed $35,100 under […]
We’ve chattered about this large 2-bedroom at the Anchor Lofts at 215 W. Illinois in River North several times. See our most recent January 2009 chatter here (no pictures.) The unit has been on the market since September 2008 and has now been reduced $139,000. It’s also listed for below its 2001 purchase price. In our […]
This bank-owned 2-bedroom loft just came on the market at 900 N. Kingsbury in River North. It is priced $115,100 under the 2003 purchase price. It appears that parking is not included in the current price (but was included in the 2003 sale.) It is the cheapest 2/2 in the building and is cheaper than several […]
We’ve chattered about The Hermitage at 70 W. Huron in River North before. Built in the mid-1990s, it is among the older of the River North highrises. This 1-bedroom came on the market in February and has already reduced twice. From the Craigslist ad: Accepting all offers! Seller has run into a situation and MUST […]
Foreclosures and short sales continue at some downtown high rises. We’ve chattered about 440 N. Wabash in River North (next door to Trump Tower) before but the number of owners under stress in the building appears to be growing. The current stats on the building (out of 457 units): 54 for sale (about 12% of the building) […]
This 585 square foot studio unit at 330 W. Grand in River North just came on the market as a short sale. The listing says it is a “good opportunity for an investor.” Is it? Nice studios rent fairly quickly in River North (if they’re priced “right.”) Nicholas Katsafados at R.E.I.T. Homes has the listing. […]
Loft lovers dream of a space like they see in the movies with high ceilings, the wide open feel and lots of windows. This 2-bedroom penthouse loft in 758 N. Larrabee, the old Montgomery Ward building in River North, lives up the fantasy with its unique glass and steel catwalk. The listing describes the kitchen as a “cook’s […]
The Parc Chestnut, at 849 N. Franklin in River North, is a brick-midrise building that was completed in 2006. This 2-bedroom listing says it is “like a foreclosure w/o the hassle.” Is that true? The unit has been reduced $65,100 since December and is now listed for less than it sold for in 2006 (sort-of). Kathleen […]
