That's all, folks: 740 Fulton is sold out

740 Fulton, Fulton Market, Chicago

I never thought I’d be writing these words: After four long years on the market, Dave Auffarth from Keller Williams Realty tells me that all 132 of the condos in 740 Fulton have been sold.

Times have changed since pre-construction marketing began in 2005 for the Fulton Market high-rise. Back in 2006, Yo writer Joel Hogulund mused that along with Skybridge, the 14-story development would change the landscape of “a neighborhood dominated by mid-rises and loft conversions.”

Now, like it or not, it’s difficult to imagine what that stretch of Halsted would look like without 740 Fulton. So many other large developments have been added to the West Loop and Fulton River in the two years since 740 Fulton was completed, the building no longer even seems new.

Looking back at the reader comments on Yo posts about 740 Fulton over the years, the building’s approval ratings went from general acceptance and even some genuine enthusiasm for the design in the early days to utter contempt. Whereas in in 2006, the urban politician said, “I’m liking this building a LOT,” just last year reader WGC asserted that “No one, I repeat, no one really loves that building. It’s viewed by many as the worst building architecturally in all of Chicago.”

A handful of one- and two-bedroom resale units are currently listed on the MLS with prices ranging from the $280s to the $350s.
