The construction elevator that was up 600 Lake Shore Drive‘s south tower in August has since come down, and Royal Fisher from Belgravia Group says building construction is completed. Fisher says he is continuing to sell homes in both towers at a decent pace, although not quite as fast as before.
“A month ago, we were selling about three a week – now we’re down to maybe one a week,” Fisher says. “Even still, I think that’s better than some others are faring.”
Fisher estimates that between 30 and 35 potential buyers visit the sales center each week. “On the weekends we’re swamped,” he says. “In fact, we have three extra people as support staff that do nothing but show people models in the sales center.”
There are just five available homes in the north tower, which was built first, and 80 percent of the homes in the south tower are sold. Fisher says the sales staff is moving the sales center over to the south tower, where four model units will be set up. If you want to get an idea of what the old model units looked like, take a look at the video below that I made with Paul Smith in August. Joe Zekas also shot an interview in late October with the building’s architects, George Pappageorge and David Haymes.
Construction workers now are focusing their attention on the land right in front of the lobby facing Lake Shore Drive, which they’re trying to finish before the snows come. Fisher says a few 15-foot trees were recently brought in, and a reflecting pool will be installed.
