            <description> <![CDATA[ 
If you’re in the market for a Chicago condo we’re sure that you’ll find plenty of reasons to like 56 W Huron.

The boutique building is home to just 10 full-floor residences and one duplex penthouse. If you’re interested, though, you’d better act fast, as only a handful of units remain for sale in this stylish new construction building.Another great reason to choose the property is its location. While the property rises up above a quiet River North street, it borders the Gold Coast. This makes it easy to enjoy what you want and desire in the area.Finally, consider the luxury of the individual units. All priced above $1 million, the condos of 56 Huron start at around 2,100 square feet of living space, with the penthouse unit offering well more than 5,000 square feet of sophisticated living space.
