Click on the video above and hear two of the neighborhoods’ top developers on the subject as you make your own judgements.
David Chase, of The Thrush Companies, developer of 740 Fulton, represents the West Loop. Keith Giles, a principal in Kargil Development, which is building X/O Condominiums, represents the South Loop. Yo’s truly is the tirelessly instigating moderator.
