And you thought your cubicle was small. RDM Development bills this 360-square-foot Gold Coast condo, at 1400 N Lake Shore Drive, as a one-bedroom one-bathroom unit. Judging by the floor plan, it looks like they meant that quite literally. They were being modest by not mentioning the closet, I guess. One has to wonder why they chose to call this a one-bedroom when 1400 N LSD has efficiency units that trump it by more than 100 square feet, and those include kitchens. Of its 398 units, the building has only three of these pint-sized pads, and one has already sold. The building also has two- and three-bedroom units of up to 1,540 square feet. Newly converted condos at the vintage 1920s building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, start in the $130s. I guess buyers should be happy to own anything on Lake Shore Drive for that price, and they can use the money they save on take-out.
This is pretty obviuosly an error on the part of whoever posted / created the floor plan. I don’t think RDM would be trying to sell a unit without a kitchen. And, the plan (PDF doc) doesn’t match the floor plate on the same page.
I would have preferred a direct link to the floor plan in addition to the general link to the building site.
I verified the floor plan’s accuracy with two people at the sales center. They only have three of these units (note updated post).
Joel-
This is an I unit, which is a non-standard floor plan that we only have 3 of in the building. We have never marketed it is a 1 bedroom, as it is clearly a small efficiency unit. Since I run the marketing on this project, I can verify with 100% certainty that this has never been marketed as a 1 bedroom. And the unit is for sale for 119k… by far the lowest price in the Gold Coast. In the future please contact me before posting incorrect information on the site.
Thanks,
