Spire will Aspire

It is Ol Blue Eye's favorite city, a place where Ferris sang "Twist and Shout", home to the World Fair back in the late 1800's, and quite chilly in the winter.  Yes, Chicago is one of the best cities in the country.  Why is it so grand?  Well, it has some of the best jazz, steaks and architecture in the entire country.  Don't believe me?  Fly or drive there and you'll come to the same conclusion.  I have been to Chi-town recently and the new Chicago condo developments are quite breathtaking. 

I am always curious to know about new developments going up in a city and today, I read some startling news.  The Spire, which is slated for completion in 2011, is poised to be the largest residential development in the world...standing tall at roughly 2,000 feet.  Sales for the Chicago condos went on sale a couple days ago and I'm sure many buyers are going to dig deep and fork up a pretty penny to own in this amazing development.  The marketing gurus are taking this on a 15 city tour across the globe - hitting up all continents.  

The amazing thing about these condos is that no two condos will be alike!  The building is supposed to have 1,194 units ranging from 534 sf to 10,309 sf (2 floor penthouse).  Prices will remain moderate - especially for the 2 floor penthouse which is only $40,000,000.00.  That's a lot of zeroes.  Also, this development will be LEED Certified.  I am going to keep a close eye on this project and am hoping for the best!
