Two bedroom on 51st floor rented at the 195 Harbor

Sun, 21 Nov 2010 21:25:09 +0000

So I have found a renter for the two bedroom on the 51st floor at the 195 N Harbor Dr. We have listed for rent on 10/9/10, with around 10 showings and the unit was not available until 11/24/10, we have found a tenant who is going to move in right before Dec, 2010.

This unit has opened up the second bedroom as a den with nice french doors. The view is spectacular with the lake, the city and the park views. All wood floor through out the unit makes a big difference too.

Parkshore has the best doormen, who not only open doors for you all the time, but also help you with groceries and kids. There is a on site grocery store which opens from 8am to 11pm, which has a deli with hot meat selections.

Parkshore has a nice size gym on the 56th floor with beautiful views to the lake and the city, a roof top pool and a private tennis court, two nice party rooms for you to use.

Harbor Drive Street Renaming Ceremony/Parkshore Resident Honor

Thu, 21 Oct 2010 18:54:38 +0000

A street renaming ceremony was held honoring the late Board of Election Commissioner Theresa M. Petrone, wife of retired Judge Frank Petrone of unit 1002 of the Parkshore, 195 N Harbor Dr, on Thursday morning, October 7, 2010 at the intersection of Harbor Drive and Waterside Drive. Some Parkshore residents were instrumental in obtaining this honor for Mrs. Petrone. Mrs. Petrone had served on the Illinois State Board of Elections for almost twenty years, including terms as chairwoman and vice-chairwoman, before her appointment at the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners in 1997, a position she held until her death in 2006. Alderman Brendan Reilly, Mr. Petrone’s son-in-law Alderman James Balcer of the 11th Ward, a representative for Secretary of State Jessie White, a representative of the Bard of Elections, the Petrone family and a small group of the Parshore residents and neighbors attended the ceremony.

One plus den at the Parkshore is rented – unit 2709 at the 195 N Harbor

Thu, 01 Jul 2010 19:46:02 +0000

So this rental did not take long, we have it listed on 6/2/2010. There were around 6 showings total, and we have got a contract yesterday with a one year lease. Since the move in date is 8/1/10, I am sure we did not get many showings because of this reason. But this again confirmed with the rental market in Chicago is strong, and hope this is a good sign for the whole housing market.

Another reason this unit has been rented fast is because it is on a high floor with open and nice views to the lake and Chicago River, the important reason also includes wood floor, fresh paint, professional clean.

Showings at the Lakeshore East

Thu, 29 Apr 2010 17:26:54 +0000

I had a few showings lately at the Lakeshore East. The buildings are Park Shore – 195 Harbor, the Chandler – 450 E Waterside Dr – the Aqua Building – 225 N Columbus Dr. These are all very nice buildings but they are also very different. My client is interested in studio or one bedroom, they really like 195 N Harbor Dr due to the view in the units, the great maintenance of the building, the good floor plan.

Units sold in the last three months at the 195 Harbor, the Parkshore

Sat, 27 Mar 2010 17:03:48 +0000

There are three units sold at the Park Shore in the last three months, including a one bedroom unit sold for $225,000 which is in original condition. One two bedrooms unit sold for $429,000 with a parking space included, this unit has quite a bit of upgrades such as remodeling of the kitchen, lots of built in closets, open up one bedroom to a nice den. The third one is a one plus den on a very high floor for $$435,000 with a parking space, this unit has lots of upgrade to offer and this price has included a parking space. So from these sold prices, we can tell that the price at the Parkshore is still stable but down about 10%. This percentage compare to other buildings is pretty good, plus some of the units sold very fast, such as the 5309 it has got contracted in a month and closed within 50 days. Parkshore is a full amenity building which has 24 hour doorman, a nice gym with the new flat screen TV just installed, a roof top pool, two party rooms that each unit can use 3 times free of charge.

Just pended! 195 N Harbor Dr unit 1907

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 21:50:27 +0000

I am very excited to announce that my one bedroom listing at the Parkshore, unit 1907 at the 195 Harbor has got a contract on 3/10/10. The date we list the place was 2/16/10, so it took 22 days for us to get a contract, I think this is really good in this market. First we have to say that the building is sound, the finance is sound, second is that we priced it right, third is that people are in a hurry to buy to try to get the the tax credit. With all the above reasons, I think I broke the record of getting a contract in such a short period of time. This is also because I have been working hard in this neighborhood and I know the price well in this market.

I am so glad for my client who has listed with me, he did not expect this place to be sold so fast either!

3 more showings for unit 1907 at the 195 N Harbor Dr

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:22:26 +0000

We had 3 more showings this week for my new listing, the one bedroom unit at the 195 N Harbor Dr – the Parkshore. There were a couple of the clients who came to my open house at 4007 last year, this means that people really take pretty long time to look and see, other than to make a move. I would not blame them as there are so many choices on the market and there is still uncertainty of where we are going. The good thing is that I do see more traffic this year. I remember last year this time I was so bored with really just no showings at all, no matter for sale or for rent. Just got an e mail from a coworker from @properties that they sold 65 units in 5 weeks at the 565 Quincy. What an interesting number result!

565 Quincy is located next to the union station, most of the units do have balconies, they have dropped 30% since January. I have a client who bought an one bedroom unit will close in April!

The exciting news is that we just got an offer for 1907 and right now we are negotiating. So if you have not see the unit, now it’s the time! Please contact Kristine Frost at 312 933 1894.

One bedroom for rent at the Parkshore – 195 Harbor

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 04:05:50 +0000

So my client puts his heart in the current one bedroom listing, and then there are other people were asking me if there is anything else going to be available. I put a sign downstairs for a client who is searching for a one bedroom to rent in the mid of May. Then I noticed there is one available right now from the owner. So in case you are looking to find a one bedroom unit, there still a couple of choices. The price would range from $1,300 to $1,400 depends on the floor and the finishes of the unit, which is a lot lower than a couple of years ago, it was around $1,500 – $1,650 at that time.
