Wide-angle views of Chicago's skyline from floor to ceiling
windows and large sized balconies will be featured at Park Pointe, a new
condominium building planned for 520 N. Halsted Street.
Construction of the 6-story structure is to begin in the summer, with
completion a year later, according to Michael Peterson, President of Diversified
Real Estate Concepts Inc., the Developer.
The brick and stone mid-rise was designed by the Chicago-based architectural
firm of Fujikawa Johnson and Associates.
Prices for the 56 units range from $235,900 to $361,000. The two and
three bedroom
|
residences
offer from 1,266 to 2,030 square feet of living area.
The floor plans include lofty ceilings, great rooms, living/dining room
combinations
 |
and kitchens with breakfast bars.
Other features are gas log and wood burning fireplaces, oak floors in
entryway, kitchen and living room, washer/dryer hookups, telephone-entry
intercom system, one elevator and extensively landscaped courtyard.
Parking for 84 cars will be on the lower level. Convenience stores and
a fitness center are also planned.
Two models and a sales center are now open at the site, which is bounded
by Halsted Street, Ohio Street, and Milwaukee avenue. The location offers
convenient access to the Kennedy Expressway. The Como Inn, a landmark
restaurant is a block away. |
