We were back on the 600 West block of Cornelia in the East Lakeview neighborhood where a couple of our clients have bought condos.  We remembered a unique double lot vintage property (50' wide x 90' deep) sold for $1,275,000 in 2014 (pictured above).  It was eventually torn down and the new development is now almost complete five years later. 

625 West Cornelia is almost complete.  Six new construction units are offered for sale. 

The result is six  new construction units added to East Lakeview. Presently two units are being marketed on MLS.  A two beds one bath bath "Garden Unit" (1251SF) asking  $385,000 is under contract and a three beds, two baths "Unit 3" (1966SF) asking $825,000.

New condo development along the residential streets of East Lakeview is relatively rare in this dense lakefront neighborhood. The packed leafy streets offer vintage beauties and we are often sad when they meet their demise. A little more delicate detail might have served this new building well.
