New homes near Navy Pier

Posted 9/16/2009 by Joseph Askins

Surely you've heard some of the hoopla over Navy Pier's new AeroBalloon by now. My advice to anyone who wants to take a ride: Call ahead, because the slightest breeze will ground the balloon for the day.

ParkView's townhomes combine single-family living with high-rise perks

Posted 9/10/2009 by Joseph Askins

ParkView isn't the only high-rise around with townhome-style units near its base, but I can't think of any others where the townhomes have terraces overlooking a park on one level and an amenities deck on another.

Posted on 8/13/2009 by Mark Boyer

After returning from Grand Plaza's outdoor pool area on Tuesday, I decided to try to pull together what photos I could of any and all outdoor pools at new condo high-rises. Of the roughly 75 active condo high-rises in downtown Chicago, only about a dozen have outdoor pools that are currently open for business. From those, I was able to dig up photos of five, and I hope to follow up on some of the others in the South Loop and River North in the next we
