Sales and construction update: 1919 W Crystal

The first Yo post on 1919 West Crystal was from the summer of 2007, and at that time the @properties agent who was handling sales projected that the nine-unit development would be ready for delivery in April 2008. That goal wasn’t met, but one full calendar year later, it looks like construction is nearly finished.

The Studio Dwell Architects-designed building looks very similar to the rendering. In a previous post from February, a reader asked if there was “some sort of protective material over the cedar.” Another reader, identified as “Mr know it all,” responded that it was “real 1″x4″ tongue and grove cedar (similar to hardwood floors). While in a controlled environment, stained with two coats (front and back).”

The wood siding on 1919 West Crystal (shown below, at left) looks pretty similar to the wood that’s being installed on another Studio Dwell-designed development at 155 N Aberdeen St (below, at right) in the West Loop. The fence in front of 1919 W Crystal St (at bottom) is the same color, but it appears to be a different type of wood.

All of 1919 West Crystal’s nine condos are currently listed for sale on the MLS, and prices have dropped a bit from the prices that were first quoted to Yo in 2007. Back then, pre-construction prices ranged from the mid-$600s to the $800s, but they now range from the $590s to the $730s. All of the two- and three-bedroom homes are duplexes with 1,633 to 2,195 square feet of living space.
