Gold Coast Real Estate News

111 W. Chestnut has been vacant for far too long, and for many Gold Coast residents, its a part of the neighborhood that’s simply been an eyesore. But after years of waiting, it appears construction is about to begin on what should be a very nice addition to what’s already one of Chicago’s most sought neighborhoods. 

Being called the Chestnut Row Homes, Pritzker owned Tawani Enterprises is planning to bring one of a kind 8 stunning new rental row houses (Yes, I said Rental) to the vacant lot over at the southwest corner of Clark and Chestnut Street, which look about as appealing and desirable as it gets for new construction in the Gold Coast.  

Inspired by 1880s era homes, these elegant new residences should blend in seamlessly with the already

Plans for another glass condo tower have been revealed for a possible location in Chicago’s Gold Coast. Late last week, Curbed reported that Lexington Homes will be building a sleek new 28 story condo tower on the current site of a surface parking lot right next door to the Ruth Page Center for the Arts at 1016 N. Dearborn. 

With construction already well under way on 4 E. Elm and 9 W. Walton, the luxury condo market in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood is once again booming, and downtown Chicago overall is finally starting to see an influx in new construction condos after luxury rentals have merely dominated the marketplace over the last few years.

As first reported by the Chicago Tribune, a lavish, 52nd-floor unit over at the renowned Waldorf Astoria tower in Chicago’s Gold Coast sold for $11.7 million earlier this month, which marks the highest price paid for a Chicago-area home so far in 2016.

The unit that sold first hit the market back in June of 2015, with owners initially asking $13.9 million. An eventual price drop to $12.85 million happened back in March, and now it seems the final purchase price was settled for just under $12 million.

According to property records, the seller first punched the condo back in 2010 for 8.18 million, guaranteeing a profit of just over $3.5 million.

Luxury condos make up a significant portion of Chicago’s downtown real estate landscape, but like anything, some units are significantly more special than others. And that’s exactly what we have with a three bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom condo that recently became available at 65 E. Goethe.

True to Gold Coast form, 65 E. Goethe is easily one of the city’s most elegant and most luxurious condo buildings, making any 3-bedroom unit here with 3,800 square feet of living space a unique and desirable opportunity for luxury buyers looking to make a move.

Inside, this fabulous condo also features only the best interior finishes, which include everything from a gourmet chef’s kitchen to a dramatic vaulted hallway that feels more like something out a mansion

It’s been a long time coming and now after a nearly three-and-a-half year wait, the new 35-story Gold Coast apartment tower coming to Clark and Division is well on its way to finally becoming a reality. Although it’s safe to say many existing Gold Coast residents truly miss the convenience of the Jewel-Osco store that was located at the current construction site, the sleek new building, which will also include a new, larger Jewel-Osco, will no doubt improve a part of the neighborhood that desperately needed some modernization.

With an estimated cost of $200 million to develop, the building now being called The Sinclair was designed by renowned, Chicago-based architecture firm Solomon Cordwell Buenz, and judging from the renderings, will easily be the

By now, most people have at least heard of 4 E. Elm and 9 W. Walton—two of the largest Gold Coast condo developments currently in the works. What some people may not be familiar with at this point, however, is 101 North, which seems to quietly be flying under the radar in a market that’s starving for new construction condos
