One-bedrooms in the South Loop, near the river

Comparing The Lofts at Roosevelt Collection with anything else in the neighborhood is certainly vulnerable to an apples-and-oranges critique because there simply isn’t a comparable residential development built around retail in Chicago. However, if you’re looking for a new-construction condo in the South Loop between Harrison Street and Dearborn Road, and between Clark Street and the river, two of the primary candidates are going to be Vetro (below, at left) at 161 W Harrison St and The Lofts at Roosevelt Collection (below, at right) on Roosevelt Road near Wells Street.

Between the balconies and the windows, both units appear to be bathed in natural light, and they have similar living / dining rooms and kitchens. The Roosevelt Collection unit has a fireplace, but I think it’s just ornamental, and it has Jack and Jill bathroom doors, which the Vetro unit doesn’t have. It’s hard to say which unit has more closet space, as the Vetro unit has one large closet and the Roosevelt Collection unit has two smaller closets in the bedroom.

The Roosevelt Collection unit is 759 square feet with a 5-8″ x 13′ balcony, while the Vetro unit is a bit smaller, weighing in at 719 square feet with a 3-10″ x 17′ balcony.

As far as price per square foot is concerned, the Vetro condo is less expensive, as one-bedrooms in the 09 tier are currently priced from the $240s to the $270s. The “A” tier unit in the Lofts at Roosevelt Collection is a bit larger, but it’s also priced from the $300s to the $310s. Monthly assessments for one-bedrooms at the Lofts at Roosevelt Collection will run from $319 to $401, while Vetro assessments should cost between $240 to $270, according to a sales center agent.

Printers Corner floor planOne other development that should be included in the conversation is Winthrop Properties’ Printers Corner, which is located within the same boundaries at 170 W Polk St. I wasn’t able to included Printers Corner in the direct comparison because I don’t have some of the necessary pricing data, but a comparable 769 square-foot one-bedroom floor plan in Printers Corner is at right. As Joe mentioned earlier in the week, one-bedrooms start in the low $300s there at Printers Corner.
