im in shock that the city let them hang that enormous NEMA sign in the windows.

expect it to be gone within a week

Why? They do that sort of signage to advertise for rent in most new buildings...

The one across 727 Madison is pretty egregious

cause vista tried to do it and then painted black over it

and we are traditionally strict with signage right

They are strict on permanent signage, certainly. Never saw anything about Vista doing that. When did that happen?

Nice....

Crain's is reporting the penthouse at NEMA is $25k a month. Sheeesh!

https://www.chicagobusiness.com/comm...-you-25k-month

Super early on, when they put up the massive climbing framework. had everybody's logos and "LUXURY CONDOS COMING 2020" on a black background, and since they painted over such expensive signage i assumed it was because of the NIMBYs, but just a guess.

Was back when I was living in LSE, I have some pics and videos of the sign on my hard drive at home i will try to dig up

I personally have no problem with some good ole fashioned chicago advertising (see: pabst blue ribbon sign of yesteryear, hahah)

It's actually 50k/mo...and it's only 1548 square feet!

I'm actually moving into the building in June and when I did the online lease signing I was shocked to see the rent range displayed at $1800-$50,000/mo on the homepage of the software they use.

$387/sqft is outrageous. Let's hope that was an egregious typo on your lease paperwork on both the square footage and the price.

That being said, congrats on the new place! Looking forward to pictures when settled in.

Thanks! I thought the typo thing too but it's on the website. If you go to the availability page its the 3S-A layout but the link to view the floorplans just says "contact us". If you click any of the other floorplans that say "more details" it opens a new page and you can select 3S-A from the floorplans dropdown on that page to see pricing(and an image of the layout for the penthouse).

Interesting. You pay a lot for the privilege of it being the penthouse:

• #7600: $50K for a 1548 sq ft 3 BR
• #6800: $9K for the identical layout, 8 floors down
• #7106: $25K for a 2701 sq ft 4 BR

No, it's just $32 psf. :runaway:

you're correct..I never claimed to be a mathematician...I'm just a sales rep!!!

The only angle I want the twin design is from straight dead on... everywhere else I'd like some architectural diversity

SoLo showing some beautiful lines!

Great views....

Some of those last shots are really cool. They remind me of the the view from Lincoln Park, looking south. Or of Central Park in NYC. A few more years, some more growth of those trees in Maggie Daley Park (and some more South Loop skyscrapers) and this will be an even better view. City in the park.
