Every time I drive down Halsted Street late on a Friday or Saturday night, I’m confronted by the same sight: hordes of club-goers jockeying for nonexistent taxis. I’m not sure what club they come from, but as a general rule, I’d say that the loading dock behind L. Isaacson & Stein Fish Co. is not one of the best places to hail a taxi in Chicago.
That building across the street from the fish market is The Thrush Companies‘ 740 Fulton, and sales there haven’t changed much recently. (Could it have something to do with the smell of fish in the area?)
Deliveries at 740 Fulton started about a year ago, and now we’re starting to see some deals and price reductions at the Fulton River District high-rise.
Terri Buseman from Keller Williams Realty says that about 35 of the building’s 132 condos are still available, and most of the remaining units are two-bedrooms. She didn’t offer exact figures, but she mentioned that prices had been reduced on all units in the building this spring.
The only units that I have specific information for are the four two-bedroom corner units that have been reduced in price to $450,000 from as much as $495,000. Those four units are 1,391 square feet, and they’re located on floors six, nine, 11 and 12. A floor plan for those units is at right.
