It isn’t much to look at right now, but this shabby old apartment building at 1135 W Chicago Ave in West Town is being gutted and rehabbed, and it looks like the facade is getting a pretty thorough makeover as well. One other thing that these photos don’t show is that the development is just a few doors to the west of the Chicago Blue Line station, and it also overlooks the Kennedy Expressway.
I don’t have much detailed information about this development at present, but Lydia Cardelli from Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage tells me that the building will have three two-bedroom / two-baths and three three-bedroom / three-baths that will range from 1,400 to 1,500 square feet. Cardelli says the condos will be priced from $429 to $439, and parking will be offered for an extra $25,000.
The two top-floor units will have private roof terraces, and there are laundry facilities in the building. The ground floor will feature two 1,500 square-foot retail spaces as well.
Cardelli says she expects construction to be completed by September and deliveries to begin in October. I’ll try to get my hands on some floor plans to post later this week.
