The Legacy at Millennium Park certainly looks a bit drearier than it did in the construction update Joe posted in late July, but it also looks quite a bit taller. The most notable development over the past two months, at least from the angle from which this was taken on Wabash Avenue, is the addition of windows to the first 25 or so stories.
Of the supertall buildings that are proposed, planned or currently under construction in Chicago, Mesa Development’s 72-story high-rise at 60 E Monroe St in the Loop is perhaps the most overlooked. But as others struggle to secure construction loans, this one continues to climb skyward, and before long it will be difficult to ignore.
A call to the sales center this afternoon revealed that 48 of the building’s 356 condos are currently available – three less than Joe reported in June. The price points have tightened up a little bit though, which could mean that the least expensive units were sold, or that the prices have gone up.
One-bedrooms, which were priced from the $430s in June, are now priced from the $460s; two-bedrooms start in the $650s, whereas they started in the $640s in June, and three-bedrooms range from $1.26 million to $2.59 million. Penthouses start at $4.25 million. The sales agent I spoke with said most of the remaining condos have two and three bedrooms.
Construction on the building is expected to be completed by fall 2009.
