Willard Court may be “architecturally bankrupt,” in the words of one Yo reader, but it still offers a few interesting features here and there – like this wall safe built into each home (not the studios, though).
The development (949 N Willard Ct in River West) is sandwiched between the Kennedy Expressway and some railroad tracks, so it’s not scoring points for the big ‘L’. And the building’s exterior is a tad, well, drab. In fact, the one thing Willard Court does have is photos. Of everything. Including the wall safe – and the basement storage (cage?) locker.
The project’s been built for a couple years now, but at least four units are still available ($150s to $270s). Prices include deeded surface parking, and the location might qualify some buyers for the city’s TaxSmart Mortgage Credit Certificate.
