$800 is insane for a property that you supposedly own. It's like adding rent on top of property taxes and a mortgage.

Yes, Related tells me they're letting a couple of contractors use the property for staging areas. Those are indeed One Bennett Park panels.

Makes sense since before they had about 2 acres of staging area but now that they're well into building the park the space available is substantially smaller.

What the hell are you renting for $800/mo?

That seems pretty fair for common charges and maintenance to me. I’ve looked at 2 bedrooms in Brooklyn where the monthly maintenance is over $2k.

No, it isn't, did you see the list of stuff that the assessment pays for? My homeowners insurance alone is a fraction of what it was when I owned a house. I added everything up before we moved, and the total outlay is less than we were paying for various services and utilities on the house. A roof replacement on the house cost the equivalent of at leave a couple years assessment on the condo.

My girlfriend and I pay $1300 for 2BR/1BA with new hardwood, granite/SS kitchen, in-unit W/D, dishwasher, gas and water included. Jetted soaking tub, big walk-in closet. Over 1000 square feet. Crappy studios and 1BR go for $800-1000/month around here (city and suburbs). I had a big 1BR (not updated) with garage parking for $939 a month back in 2015.

Different priorities I guess. I would never live somewhere with $800 a month in condo/HOA fees.

Not sure why I'm being blocked out.

EDIT never mind I got though.

EDIT again

Nothing new in the link other than Amazon HQ2 re-visiting the site in the best month ever to see Chicago

Its possible HQ2 could be split 2 to 3 ways and see how things go before they totally leave Seattle ala Boeing.


Beasts the shit out of early March.

It's a relatively good spot as far it goes (a short walk from the Red/Green/Orange Line, and would be a quick/easy shuttle ride from train stations down an extended Wells), but as someone who currently rents in the South Loop and may eventually want to buy something in the area... please go to Lincoln Yards!

This would be very interesting for Chicago even if they did something like break the second headquarters up between 2 cities. Take out the states situation and Chicagoland would be a no brainer.

I think this just means you should buy now and cross your fingers a little harder.

The 78 is going to be on November's plan commission:
Quote:
A proposed planned development submitted by Roosevelt/Clark Partners, LLC., for the property generally located at 101-213 W. Roosevelt Rd and 1200-1558 S Clark Street. The site is currently zoned DS-3 (Downtown Service); the applicant is proposing to rezone the site to a DX-5 (Downtown Mixed Use), and then to a Waterway Business Residential Planned Development. The proposal will establish four subareas (A, B, C and D) with a maximum of 10,000 dwelling units, allow for the development of several mixed-use buildings, allow for ground floor commercial space, publicly accessible open spaces, riverwalk and accessory parking spaces to be built in multiple phases. The applicant may seek 0.65 in bonus FAR (Floor Area Ratio) per the Neighborhood Opportunity Bonus Program, bringing the total FAR of the project to 5.65 (19686; 25th Ward)

So that comes to a maximum of 15.2 million sqft of buildings if I'm calculating that correctly. Roughly the size of Hudson Yards but spread out over a much larger site.

City certainly is making it rain approvals of huge projects recently with the Trib site, LSE, and now this. LY is the only major thing outstanding that I can think of.
