LIVING WELL | EARLY ACCESS TO WHAT'S NEXT IN CHICAGO
a curated collection of notable homes and opportunities
November 22
This week, we’re spotlighting one of Chicago’s strongest luxury trends: new construction. With limited resale inventory and rising demand for modern, low-maintenance, design-forward homes, buyers are securing residences well before completion–especially when location, finishes and builder reputation align.
We begin at 1843 Dayton, a striking 14-residence brick and limestone offering by PLD Homes. From there, 2644 Lakewood, a boutique collection of four duplex homes from BAK Home Development, followed by RiverWard at 2235 Oakdale, a collection of 35 extra-wide row homes rising along the Chicago River from ZSD Corp.
If one of these projects speaks to you or new construction is on your radar, we’d be delighted to guide you through the process.
