- Condo Face-off in the West Loop: the Mods vs. the Greens
- 01.12.2007
Two new condo projects are in the early stages of being built in the West Loop: Mesirow Financial's R+D 659 on Randolph and Emerald at Monroe and Green St., with three developers, including Senco Properties, at the helm. The former is selling itself as an exemplar of modern living; the latter as a state-of-the-art "green" building. Here we give both of them their say. Part 1: R+D
Emerald is a co-development by Harlem Irving Companies, New Frontier Companies, and Senco Properties. Together, these three companies have a huge wealth of skills and expertise developing buildings that revitalize neighborhoods, and homes that endure themselves to their owners.
One bedroom units start in the mid $200,000s; two bedroom condos start in the high $300,000s and top out at mid $400,000. Deeded indoor parking spaces are available for $30,000. Six floor plans are offered: One bedroom, one bath units ranging from 765 to 900 square feet — some also include a den; Two bedroom, two bath units ranging from 1250 to 1297 square feet. Balconies are included in all; some two bedroom units have a second balcony adjacent to the kitchen.
