At that time, the building was apparently 60% sold in preconstruction and units were just about to start closing. Then, in April 2009, Crain’s reported that a foreclosure suit was filed against the building. […]

This 2-bedroom authentic loft at 1619 S. Michigan, in the Studebaker Corner Lofts, in the South Loop has a feature I don’t believe I’ve ever seen before in a Chicago property: a private rooftop deck with a shower.
