While I was busy shooting video, Joe Zekas took a few colorful photos from Vetro‘s seventh-floor amenities deck yesterday. This view to the north shows CMK Companies‘ 235 Van Buren, where it looks like construction has reached about five stories above the parking garage.
As I noted in a recent post, 235 Van Buren has an especially large parking garage to serve the 714-unit building. At full height, the building will have 47 stories, and it is scheduled for completion in early 2009. One- to three-bedroom homes in 235 Van Buren building are currently priced from the $190s to the $550s.
This wide-angle rendering below shows the building in the context of the skyline. It’s an older rendering, so that crane in the foreground might have been for Vetro, which was completed last spring.



You mean the structure is going to be “topped-out” in early ’09, right? This baby probably won’t be ready for move-ins until at least the end of ’09 I would guess.
This looks like such a great spot! I am relocating from Minneapolis and after lots of searching, and comparing I am close to purchasing this one. This place rocks! I love the units….especially because it is dog friendly….this little excuse for a dog I have will love it! LOL
they are talking about first move-ins in May.
No way in May….it will be around July or Aug. Been through this before,because developers want everyone to have their financials in order for the mortgages. Never the less, its around the corner.
