Whenever I speak with agents who are marketing lofts, they tend to feed me lines about how a particular development is “the last authentic loft conversion in the neighborhood.” I usually dismiss it, but now I have an easy way of fact-checking that claim. I can’t promise that this list is comprehensive, but I can tell just from glancing at it that if someone tries to tell me about the last loft conversion in Bucktown or Lake View, I’ll know right away that they’re wrong.
This list covers all the lofts north of Madison Street that I could find on NewHomeNotebook.com. I expected to find more than I did, but several projects like the Gunnison Street Lofts, 123 North Sangamon, Hubbard Street Lofts, and Tru Lofts, have recently been canceled, gone rental or sold out.
Stay tuned for the second part of this list, which will include everything south of Madison.
