600 N Lake Shore Drive

About the Building

It's no secret that this eastern portion of the Streeterville neighborhood in Chicago is experiencing rapid growth; just witness all of the cranes that dot the landscape. As a result of all this construction, this is going to be one of the hottest neighborhoods in Chicago, and this building at 600 N. Lake Shore Drive is going to be in the thick of it. This 47-floor high-rise condo building is currently under construction, and its completion is projected for sometime in 2008.

Housing 155 separate units, this development will offer residences in a number of different layouts to suit its residents' individual needs and preferences. Whether you want a 3-bedroom place with a 195 square-foot master suite, or simply desire a 1-bedroom unit with enough space for you and your pet (which, by the way, are permitted in this building), the various floorplans will have the perfect fit to make you feel right at home.

While size is a major factor in selecting a new place to live, price is up there, too. Of course it's all relevant-the larger the unit the bigger the price tag-but to give you a general idea, the price per square foot for property in this building is $439, with an average listing price around $599,000. Typically, properties in this River North building are on the market for around 60 days.
