New River North Condo Building: James Place
Anyone know anything about the James Place condominiums that are allegedly going to be built at 100 W. Huron in River North? I was walking by Huron and Clark the other day and noticed their banner on some fences that surround a parking lot on that corner.
How many stories is it? I don’t know.
How many units is it? I don’t know.
What are the prices? I don’t know.
They have a sales center at 730 N. LaSalle. From a news release on their website:
Affinity Development and KBL Construction recently hosted the grand opening celebration of their new project at 100 West Huron Street. James Place will break ground in November 2007. The grand opening was a huge success, and several units are already under contract. Please call or visit our sales center for more details.
The parking lot I saw didn’t have any construction equipment on it. In fact, it was still being used as a parking lot. Maybe the “ground breaking” will be in “late” November. Or, maybe not.
The building is going to be 2 bedroom, 2 bath units- with four per floor and two penthouses on the top floor. Every unit is a corner unit.
The website talks of “timeless elegance” in the finishes. These are pictures of the kitchen and the bath:
The kitchen will have Brookhaven cabinetry, Grohe faucets and a “gourmet stainless steel appliance package.” The bathrooms will also have Brookhaven, Grohe and Toto toilets and sinks.
I’m all for building on empty parking lots. But this could be a hard sell given that directly across the street on Huron is Hotel Wacker, which is a by the week type hotel. Let’s put it this way- I tried to find a picture of it to post here (the building is a red brick midrise and dates back to the 1940s) but it doesn’t have any website. Kind of like Hotel California, you can check in but you can’t check out. Nor are there any “reviews” of it on any of the travel websites.
Anyone have any prices for James Place they can fill us in on? It’s being developed by Affinity and KBL Construction.

Does anyone know pricing on this building? Looks nice
I don’t know anything about prices, but Emporis says the building will have 17 floors.

There’s also a much better rendering here: http://www.emporis.com/en/il/im/?id=523053
Ecker: Thanks for the link to the better picture. It is MUCH better than what is on their website. I thought it would be at least a midrise (given the location.)
ah, interesting, I wonder if there will be any 1 bedroom units or all 2/2 or bigger, like the Caravel (635 Dearborn).
The website seems to only be showing 2/2s (at least on the floorplans.)

James Place will be at the corner of 100 W Huron. It is a 16 story, boutique highrise, with 2-4 homes per floor, by Affinity Development. If you visit The Superior at LaSalle, which is located at 150 W. Superior, you will be able to experience the type of quality construction that can be expected at James Place as well.
The finishes are exquisite plus you get to choose them. The building is slated for delivery in summer of 2009. The starting price for a two bedroom, two bathroom home is $566,900 (and right now you can recieve a pre-construction discount of 5% off the 1200 sq ft homes. And parking will start at $37,500. The homes can range in square footage from 1200 to 3030 sq ft. Every home is a corner unit with a large corner terrace. Not to mention, 10 ft of floor to ceiling windows.
