The Brixton Group got a good turnout for last night’s “Red With Envy” grand opening at CA23, located at 23 N Aberdeen St in the West Loop. In fact, the crowd was so dense in most of the rooms that the photos I brought back don’t reveal much of the new furnished model.

When I arrived, an auctioneer was emceeing in an unfinished condo on the second floor (no, not that kind of auction), and on the third floor folks were looking around the newly-unveiled furnished model. Personal trainer Aaron Manheimer from John Hall Studios (pictured top row, at left) was on hand, answering questions about his deal with CA23.

CA23’s model is staged and ready to visit, and so I’ll return in the coming weeks to take some more photos. A couple of photos of the second and third bedrooms are below, and a video from the party will be up soon.

I looooove censorship!

bb,

Enforcing standards of civilized behavior is not censorship. Your parents presumably taught you what is acceptable in public. Try to remember what they said.

You should thank me for deleting your comment. One of those ladies could file a defamation suit and compel me to disclose your identity and get a judgment that would cast a dark shadow on the rest of your life. A financial one. There already seems to be an emotional shadow following you.

I am very familiar with Brixton and CA23. First, CA23 was named Best New Mid-Rise of 2008 and is a first class product. CA23 has received close to 30 articles during the past two years, all of which were extremely positive and first class. Secondly the video, is meant to be light hearted, entertaining and fun, with a simple message…Life begins in your home, so choose wisely where your adventure should begin. I think in a time when everyone is so serious, it’s nice to see a different approach.

Also, the purpose of the film might also be to generate awareness of CA23, which by the response, it has…not to sell homes with sex.

Megan,

In fairness, you ought to disclose your connection with the project.

Very impressive building and homes! I love how the elevator opens directly to the unit.

Laura 2/22/09 at 8:00 PM

We had a great time. Food was great, music was great, emcee was great and funny, and I only wish I could afford to buy a unit there. But thanks for inviting us.

Joe Zekas 2/22/09 at 10:16 PM

Brian, Laura,

Any connection with K&S or the developer?

Stokes 2/23/09 at 1:59 PM

No affiliation with Koenig, the architect or the developer here. I love these units and also wish I could afford one. The 4 bed is a little extravagant though and I’m not sure I like the column though the 30′ long kitchen island.

I had a great time at the opening of CA23, I was impressed by the layout and quality of craftmanship that went into all the units. Love the location, just minutes from downtown, still in the process of looking, thanks for the invite!

Add Jodi to the list of suspect commenters.

The opening of CA23 was a great event. The units looked amazing and were thoughtfully planned out. While I am not currently in the market, I would definitely consider a unit here if I was!
