Belgravia's slick River North new construction nears completion, sell out

403 N Wabash nears completion. The location is a bit quirky... sort of a bridge between two neighborhoods. All photos Eric Rojas, Broker, Kale Realty

We finally took a couple photos of the Belgravia new construction at 403 N Wabash. The sharp looking building is almost absorbed by the large 405 N Wabash (River Plaza) and that other building.  Here's some background from Curbed in 2017.

It is hard to make out the diminutive, boxy 403 N Wabash "Renelle on the River" among the existing high-rises from certain angles.  We'll swing by for photos in nicer weather when it's complete.

Belgravia will be delivering 50 new units at 403 North Wabash Avenue "Renelle on the River" this summer. 39 of the 50 units are currently PEND closing on MLS with 4 units presently listed.

The 4 units now being actively marketed range from $1,355,900 for a 1827 sq. ft. 3B/3Ba unit to $2,282,900 for a 2517 sq. ft. 3B/3.1Ba unit...parking not included.

We've been mostly pleased with Belgravia's projects and quality of construction.  We're always happy to show clients their new projects and re-sale condos and town homes. 

Would you buy a two-flat subject to tenancy?

This Edgewater two-flat is a great price and condition for our client. BUT it comes with a catch. All photos Eric Rojas, Broker, Kale Realty

We looked at a few newly listed small multi-unit buildings with our client on Sunday in Edgewater, Addison Mall and North Park neighborhoods. We jumped on the best priced building in Edgewater (preferred location). We found out quickly that the purchase was subject to tenancy.  This generally means the buyer will have to adhere to the current tenant lease agreements upon closing. Whatever that may be.

In this case the property has month to month tenants in both units and the "in-law" unit situation. We wanted the tenants vacated prior to a closing. The seller's agent has told us the owner won't do that... the tenants will be the buyer's responsibility.  Basically the tenants aren't going anywhere.

Even though the asking price is great this is too much risk for our buyer. This will be her primary home and she will rent the other unit out. No stomach for squatters or an eviction process should it come to that.  A professional investor who has dealt with tenant issues may be wise to scoop this up. Understanding local ordinances and a state's specific tenant law is key when buying multi-unit buildings.

New Gardner School to be built on former Buddhist Temple site, Uptown/ Ravenswood

The former Truc Lam Buddhist Temple at North Ashland and West Wilson. All  gloomy day photos Eric Rojas, Broker, Kale Realty.

Former Truc Lam Buddhist Temple building in the Ravenswood / Uptown neighborhoods is scheduled for demolition this spring. Anyone on the North Side has probably passed this site at Ashland and Wilson a million times. A new Gardner School early childhood learning facility will be built and really alter the look of the corner. The school/ daycare may be built by right according to RS-3 zoning (we work with clients on these types of deals).

We've mentioned daycare/ early childhood education facilities are HOT! Several new buildings have been built or significantly retrofitted in the 47th Ward recently for schools within a mile or so of this location including a new JYCS and Kiddie Academy.

Here is some background from Uptown Update  .   See full site plan here

First renters move into mega development Lincoln Common this week in Lincoln Park

Crain's reported the first renters have moved into the Lincoln Common development in Lincoln Park. It will be awhile until all the buildings are completed and the whole site pulls together.

Apartment rents range from $1,800 to $6,300 at their site.  If you need an apartment in Lincoln Park, contact me for various options.

Lincoln Square "L" train mural... next to the tracks

A cool garage mural near Leavitt and Leland adjacent to the tracks.

I've walked by this "L" train mural in Lincoln Square a 100 times.  I finally took a couple photos. These home owners have embraced living with the "L" tracks directly behind their property.

Choo choo!

Will this Lincoln Park hold-out cash in?

The vacant lot shown at 2511 North Halsted above sold in 2018 for $1,500,000 (all photos Eric Rojas, Broker, Kale Realty).

A double lot (50'x126') was sold at 2511-2513 North Halsted for $1,500,000 last year. We don't yet know what will be built (it will be six condos with or without retail on main floor).  As you can see a vintage building remains on the adjacent lot on the south. The circa 1890s vintage two-flat at 2509 North Halsted is also for sale at an asking price of... wait for it.... $925,000 (@Properties). That's almost $200,000 more than a single lot would "comp out" to next door (and you get a premium for the double lot).

2509 North Halsted is a vintage two-flat building sits in the middle of typical North Halsted Street developments. It remains to be seen if someone will pony up $925,000. An improved two story restaurant/ bar building at 2721 North Halsted (Trinity Bar) did sell for $870K recently on a 26'x134' lot. 

2509 N Halsted was for sale from 2008-2011 when my business and office was at Rubloff over the Home Depot a few doors north.  The lowest price it dipped to was $779,900 in 2011... the bottom of the market after the 2008 financial crash.  Things started to clean up and head upwards from 2012 on. This strip of Halsted from West Fullerton to West Diversey is a collection of mostly mixed use three-to six-flat buildings, restaurants and bars.  Many shacks have been torn down but the 2509 N Halsted building looks in great condition.

Will "another one bite the dust"? Or, is this seller going to deal anytime soon...

About fourteen condo units have sold on Halsted Street from Fullerton to Diversey in the last twelve months. The median price of a sold condo is about $512,000.  The highest sold condo in the last 12 months is 2503 North Halsted Unit 4 for $730,000.

Photo update: Huge Old Town apartment development at former Marcello's location

Looking east down West North Avenue

216 units are under construction at North and Larrabee in Old Town. The development goes up on the former Father and Son Plaza at 609-657 West North Avenue... also former home of Marcello's Father and Son Restaurant. I went to the restaurant often for industry breakfast events. The new development address is 633 West North Avenue, Chicago IL 60610

The Village Garden Express building (former Terry's Red Hots) somehow remains along North Larrabee and the tracks.

A small restaurant building and parking lot remain on the Larrabee side.  

This is that development you see heading downtown on the CTA Brown Line.

View from across the street.

West North Avenue from about North Wells to North Halsted will be adding around 406 finished residential condo and apartment units in a year's time to this Old Town/ Lincoln Park area. The larger developments are the "Father and Son Plaza", 301 West North, 750 West North Avenue and 1550 on the Park . This doesn't count any small developments north and south of North Avenue.

1550 N Wells at West North Avenue across the street from Latin School is adding 32 luxury condo units to Old Town.
