The coronavirus is finally in the rearview mirror and the post-pandemic reflection has begun. In the wake of this global nightmare, I learned a lot – elastic-band pants are underrated, it’s possible to form a lifelong friendship with your Instacart shopper and Schitt’s Creek is worth binge-watching at least twice. And then there’s the biggest[...]
A new development is on the horizon for a slice of West Loop’s Fulton River District. A brand-new luxury apartment building – at 1201 W. Fulton Market – will be the first residential development in this area in over 10 years. It’s been a long time coming, and I can’t wait to watch this project come[...]

I love a good makeover, and this one is ooooh-so-good. With an estimated price tag of around $40 million, this residential redevelopment in Chicago’s Illinois Medical District is more than just a minor facelift. Located at 1927 W. Harrison, the 18-story apartment building was originally built in the 1960s. But it now holds 272 fully-renovated[...]
Having lived in downtown Chicago for more than half my life, I can tell you that there are a bazillion reasons to make the move to the city. You’ve got the big-city energy, the urban parks and beaches and of course, the Kalbi tacos at Del Seoul in Lincoln Park. Don’t judge me...those tacos are[...]
Chicago’s River North will soon be welcoming a new boutique apartment building to the neighborhood. The plans for the new apartments – at 61 W.

And while brand-new towering high-rises are stunning, there’s something about living in a redeveloped building that’s just so cool. The history, the charm, the quirks – I love it all. That’s why I’m so pumped that developers are[...]
