We chattered about this 2-bedroom in Avenue East at 160 E. Illinois in Streeterville several times, but the most recent in early August when it was reduced below $400,000. See our August 2009 chatter here. I asked in August if this price was a deal. It’s cheaper than many 1-bedrooms in the neighborhood and the building […]

We’ve chattered about 600 N. Fairbanks, the Helmut Jahn-designed highrise in Streeterville, numerous times in the past. We finally have some closings in 2009 that provide a better idea of what is going on in the building. Has one of the hottest buildings in Chicago fallen back to earth? We chattered about Unit #1505, a […]
