Tucked away in a spot that’s almost directly in between Old Town and the Gold Coast, it’s easy to see how appealing condos for sale at 101 North are just from a location standpoint alone. In addition to a premium location, though, these elegant condo residences also offer an insane amount of living space, with floor plans ranging in size from 2,679 to 3,338 square feet. 

Furthermore, the lavish collection of interior finishes seen throughout condos at 101 North are also an impressive element to what’s easily considered a premier destination for luxury home buyers searching for the ultimate condo residence in Chicago. 

But with only 32 condos in the entire building, opportunities are limited, and dwindling at a very raid pace. As of the time of this…

A substantial portion of the Terrazio condo building has been put up for sale, according to a recent report from Crain’s Chicago Business. The lender that seized the failed condo development is now looking to sell 165 units inside the building that are currently being rented. 

Terrazio was one of many condo projects that was hit hard by the housing crash, but has since been able to recover somewhat by taking advantage of Chicago’s red hot rental market.
