The old loft conversions have interesting layouts. Take 110 N. Peoria for instance. This building was converted in 1993. It’s in a “prime” area of the West Loop, near the Randolph Street restaurants and Oprah. There are some really large one bedrooms in the building, including this one that has an old elevator shaft in the […]
You can find loft style units in every neighborhood of the city, even in Edgewater, not necessarily known for its industrial buildings. This 1927 28 unit building at 5646 N. Kenmore is right on the edge of the Bryn Mawr Historic District at Bryn Mawr and Kenmore. It’s not what you would normally think of when […]
The gentrification of Pilsen continues to move further west, away from the Pilsen Arts District that surrounds 18th and Halsted. The Chantico Lofts at 1061 W. 16th Street was a recent conversion of an old industrial brick and timber building into lofts. With 42 units, its price points were a bit ambitious for a project in […]
Why is it that the same properties keep coming on the market at the same inflated prices? If the condo didn’t sell during the “peak” selling period in the spring and summer, it’s certainly not going to sell now at the same price. As they say in real estate, price (and location) are everything. Take […]
This is the first time I’ve ever heard of an industrial loft in a converted warehouse with concrete floors described as “cozy” – oh, but wait, they’re referring to the “den” in the unit. See picture below: The rest of the loft? Not so much. Cool modern aesthetic though. 3108 S. Lituanica St. : 3 […]
Old Town isn’t the first neighborhood you’d think of for loft living, but there is a popular loft building located there at 1660 N. Hudson, the St. Michael Lofts. This building doesn’t have the authentic brick feel of loft buildings in River North or the West Loop, but this building does have the tall ceilings […]
Every once in awhile a property comes along that is just plain cool. This is just such a property. It’s also brilliantly marketed by Jennifer Ames at Coldwell Banker. There is no clutter seen in any of the photos. And the nighttime pictures of the pool highlight the drama. This is what you do if […]
What do you get for nearly a million dollars in an older Loop loft building? You can get a brick, duplexed unit with a huge private terrace. Haberdasher Square at 728 W. Jackson in the loop/west loop neighborhood is a 225 unit complex with two connected buildings. The oldest, and the taller of the two, is from 1915, with […]
