Condo Remains

Last week Dennis Rodkin of Chicago Magazine’s Deal Estate blog featured an unfinished development at 2609 West Belmont in Lakeview. It was supposed to be a 46-unit condo building with prices ranging from from $269,900 to $389,900, but the developer ran out of money and stopped work over a year ago. The accompanying photo gallery chronicling the development from its original artist’s rendering to the shell of a building left standing is a fascinating reminder of the promise and changes in the recent Chicago condo market.
