X/O‘s banners on Prairie Avenue still lay claim to the South Loop’s future, but buyers can get a good look at the neighborhood’s present just by crossing the street.
With closings well underway and construction set to wrap next month, more than half of 1600 Museum Park‘s 274 homes are still for sale through the tower’s Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage sales team, according to an MLS search. Agents Ralph Oliva and Nadine Ferrata have listed a combined 139 homes at the building, located at 1629 S Prairie Ave in the South Loop. Those homes comprise the following styles, sizes and prices:
Three-bedroom / two-bath condos:
