Unit types

Estimated unit mix — Assessor + historical MLS

138 units on Cook County Assessor records.

1 bed 41 · 30%
2 bed 70 · 51%
Unknown 27 · 20%

Estimate: each Assessor unit is matched to its unit line, and the line's bedroom count comes from this building's MLS records (40 units from their own records, 71 from units in the same line). Units without enough evidence stay Unknown. Not a verified floor-plan inventory.

Each line shows the unit type most of its units have (an estimate; see “Unit types”), and a line's size and exposure only when at least 3 of its units have records; individual units are not marked. Exposure is the direction most of a line's MLS listings report. Across South Loop towers, each floor up adds about +0.44% to price per sq ft within the same line (this building alone has too few comparable sales). 1 units recorded as combined residences (two units joined) are not drawn. Line-by-line price premiums are not shown yet: too few sales per line.

Monthly cost to own against renting, or yields and cash flow if you rent it out. Start from this building's figures and change anything.

Starting values are this building's medians for the unit type, where enough records exist; property tax is estimated from the building's tax per sq ft, only where enough units without exemptions agree. Change any number. An illustration only: not a loan offer, an appraisal, or tax or investment advice. Confirm figures with your lender, insurer and tax advisor. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

Before you commit

Questions worth asking about any condo building

Standard questions for any building, not findings about this one.

  1. What are the current monthly dues, and what do they include?
  2. What is the reserve fund balance, and when was the last reserve study?
  3. Has any special assessment been approved, proposed or discussed, and is any balance outstanding?
  4. What are the leasing rules (minimum term, caps, approval)?
  5. What does the master insurance policy cover, and what is the deductible?
  6. Is the association a party to any litigation?
  7. Request the association's disclosure package under Section 22.1 of the Illinois Condominium Property Act.
