- From EcoLogic Lofts' Facebook profile.
More and more developers and marketers are turning to Facebook to promote their projects, but I haven't seen any developments as ready to reveal as much personal information and interests as EcoLogic Lofts, the eco-friendly mid-rise planned for 2359 N Seeley Ave in Bucktown.
Along with that slate of indie-rock faves, EcoLogic also digs Diablo Cody and Wes Anderson flicks, thrift stores, dive bars and bowling. (Sounds like someone needs to give 565 Quincy a poke.) Senco Properties' project is a single female interested in men and women, and she graduated from The University of Chicago in 2006 with degrees in environmental studies, architecture, and interior design. Yowza!
If that's not enough, I get the feeling from EcoLogic's profile photo that there's more than one way to conserve water at these condos. Do group showers count toward LEED Silver certification?

I know this is awfully trivial, but isn't this development technically in Logan Square. According to the city neighborhood map, the northern most boundary of Bucktown is the highway, and Lincoln Park's western boundary is Damen.

Matt:
Good question. Our definition of Bucktown has the Kennedy as its eastern edge, and EcoLogic is just outside of that boundary. And yes, it does fall inside the boundaries of the Logan Square community area.
For what it's worth (and it may be worth very little), I see that the authors of the Logan Square Community Area entry on Wikipedia define Bucktown as extending to the river.

Wikipedia is an extremely unreliable source when it comes to many of Chicago's neighborhoods. These entries don't get much attention and any enterprising real estate agent can extend the boundaries at will.
