Chicago's Ultra-Luxury Market Heating Up; 3 Area Homes Priced Over $8 Million Sell Before Hitting Market

Chicago’s luxury market is quietly heating up as three property listings recently sold for just under $9 million without even hitting the market, according to a recent report from Crain’s.

Over at the ultra-high-profile 9 W. Walton, a 30th floor condo sold for $8.96 million back in February, upholding the building’s undeniable reputation of being one of the city’s most luxurious places to call home.

Also in February, a mansion on Orchard Street in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood moved for $8.65 million before officially hitting the market, while just down the street a home on Mohawk Street also went under contact in late January for just under $9 million as well.

The Orchard Street home features 6 bedrooms, 8,400 square feet, and a classic brick facade, while the home over on Mohawk has more of a contemporary look and feel and was originally designed by architect Dirk Lohan.

That home includes 8,700 square feet with a sprawling 1,100 square foot rooftop deck, as well as a four-car garage and in-home elevator.
