The signs went up yesterday on Lennar Urban’s new “Welcome Home Center” on the 400 block of West Erie Street (sounds so much friendlier than sales trailer, no?) for the planned 21-story Parc Huron high-rise.
The River North tower is planned for 221 condos with one to three bedrooms and 614 to 1,443 square feet, at 469 W Huron St. Early pricing was quoted from the mid-$200s to the mid-$600s, but we’ll have an update on that, and with any luck a video tour, soon.
We’ll also work on getting you a rendering (no problem, we’re good like that). You might get some inkling of the building by clicking on the photo of the sign below, but keep in mind that it was taken a while ago, and things might have changed. This pocket of River North has some of the city’s best and worst new residential buildings, often within 100 yards of each other, so we’re cautiously optimistic based on this sketchy pic.
If we can trust the photo, the building looks like it will be very glassy (nice, since the views should be killer), with strong vertical lines and an adjacent park. The base won’t win any awards, but it’s an improvement over the clunky garages on which many of Parc Huron’s neighbors are perched.
