Demo time! Infamous Lincoln Park condos to be replaced by... apartments.

It looks like time has finally run out for Lincoln Centre condos at 2518-2540 N Lincoln Avenue in Lincoln Park.  On a rare occasion for a top city location the entire existing condo association sold out to a developer. New "luxury apartments" boasting 191 units will take it's place. Look for slower traffic around the Lincoln/ Fullerton intersection soon as this relatively massive development begins.

These units were always on the showing list for an affordable buyer option in the neighborhood.  But, it came with caveats... the design and condition of the building were less than great. Kind of had a party feel if you know what I mean.  Show of hands: Anybody party on those tennis courts?


Check out the Baker Development Corporation web site for updates on the Elevate luxury apartment project set to deliver units in Summer 2017. Lincoln park is getting a shot of density with the recent large developments of Lincoln Park 2550, Webster Square apartments and condos and the pending re-development of Children's Memorial Hospital site.  Three of the four developments I mention are on North Lincoln Avenue.

There are a variety of condo and apartment rental prices along Lincoln Avenue surrounding these new developments. One bedroom condos can start in the $200s with large town houses selling well over $1 million.  A renovated three bedrooms, two baths rental apartment (no parking included) on the 2300 block of north Lincoln Ave recently caught $3,200 a month.
