The size and pace of price reductions among 1400 Lake Shore Drive‘s resales haven’t made things any easier for RDM Development, which still has about 80 units of its own sitting on the books. That’s probably why RDM decided to go the auction route with at least some of its units– it’s the only way to stand up to the competition within its own building.
Several units in 1400 Lake Shore Drive show up on CondoShark‘s Top 10 lists for price reductions and short sales in the Gold Coast neighborhood, including a few homes listed by CondoShark’s own Matt Garrison of Coldwell Banker. Those homes include:

Who would buy this??? Seriously it is not Tokyo, 327sft is offensive in Chicago. I could rent this for a few years and move on, but a buyer has to be nuts to make this purchase.
Papu,
Listen to yourself. People do buy these units, for all sorts of reasons.
How can you so blithely contend that they’re “nuts” just because their preferences differ from yours?
