It is still on the market and has been reduced by another $59,500. […]
We’ve chattered about 600 N. Lake Shore Drive, the rare two building new construction development in Streeterville along the lake front, several times over the years. The buildings had a 1-year “no flip” clause in the contracts which was used to cut down on the number of investors who bought in the building. A resale of one […]

Fairbanks, the famed Helmut Jahn building in […]

This 2-bedroom just came on the market at the River East Center, 512 N. McClurg, in the heart of the Streeterville action. The listing in the Chicago Tribune says it’s a […]
