We were out with a great buyer Saturday checking out the high-rise life in Lincoln Park. First stop was the Mies van der Rohe tower at 330 West Diversey. This three bedroom unit asking $599K has the perfect south view of the park and skyline. Luckily we got it in before the snow!
We recently sold another unit at330 West Diverseyand love the location.

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.
Belgraviawill be delivering 50 new units at 403 North Wabash Avenue"Renelle on the River"this summer. 39 of the 50 units are currentlyPEND 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.
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.
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.

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.
