Awwww, I was soo excited to see the old architecture and it flow condo. Bummer! 😔 Beautiful views though.
they should have kept the original architecture throughout.
Agreed. That hayseed of an architect should have his/her license revoked.
Josephsf1 agreed
I totally agree!!!
I like how he started the video very cheerful.👍👌
Beats anything in NYC. Chicago is the pinnacle.
Always turn the lights on before you show a property.
Yah why are the lights not on?
Is this the old Encyclopedia Brittanica's building? The beehive with the blue light was always so mesmerizing...
I could hear him explain things forever.
I'm at a loss for words.... Those outside views are priceless...... The floors are beautiful(never thought I'd be amazed by the woodwork of floors).
Beautiful
Damn, that's gorgeous. It's like being in a house with others but having your own apartment.. I love levels....
It's still a nice crib as far, I'm concerned!♥️
Plenty of rooms to wander. Thanks for the presentation, and thanks to Montgomery Ward for the park.
Wow, the first cinematographic property review
Very nice
Condo on four floors should have been connected with elevator since.
OMg the stone columns-- like the cost of building that now would be ridiculous!
Magnifique architecture!
Wow! I'm surprised at some of the comments below (although I think that I do understand them). The place appeared cold, modern, and without charm. Inside, the artistry of the past is gone - but maybe it just couldn't be saved. Even as it is, it looks nice enough and some nice furnishings and paint might warm it up considerably.
Yes, the interior is insipid, grey and blah, the staircase is cold and frankly dangerous. Not a place for the young or old...
got the audio spot on something some don't get anywhere
very amazing video !
is there anymore that you guys have done ? I would love a whole series of these !
Damn that's a dream condo.
Looking back… that place was an absolute steal at $5M 🙂
Wow!
4.75m buys you roughly a used RV in new york
hehe..
Or a fixer upper in L.A.
this is good
I had a panic attack when he was sitting on the ledge.
For 6 floors, the views and the architectural details + more... it's still cheaper than some basic luxury homes in California!
Looks awesome 👏 I’m tired of Miami Beach
i would have to agree.
Looks awful in the contemporary section.
You had a masterpiece and then it went downhill from there.
Beautiful, I love the tall arched windows but even if I had the money i couldn't buy it because I have a fear of heights which is so annoying. At 3.00 in this video when this presenter is sat on a wall at the top of the building i want to shout "get down now" and at 3.28 I want to shout "get back inside", lol ❤️☺️❤️
The modern sections are horrific and look like a mid priced Hilton. What a waste.
Maybe more like a Hilton Perez.............:)
Jason V. Well done! 😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 but, even he has better taste.
Not horrific !!! 😅😂🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Why do these beautiful old places wind up looking like Drs offices or some kind of institution? Black laqer, chrome, white everything. Modern yes but not an ounce of warmth to make it a home . Artificial intelligences should live in these sterile, bleak surround ings. Not human beings.
I'm a rapper who will record classic music while living in that Condo for life to enjoy.
I'm done...wow
Where the elevator?
Enjoy that used RV in new york!
The contemporary section, which appears to be the majority of the condo, is bland, boring and charmless. Somebody made a horrible design choice.
I would have made it industrial
but I bet you would still live there if it was an option... I would bland or not...
@@cyyrious No thanks. Chicago is too cold, and besides, I have a bigger home with views of the ocean.
NOPE. Absolutely needs an elevator. I love it, but it makes me sad to see it contemporaried up. :(
I wanted to buy this place. but but. no elevator. the master bedroom should be on second floor. I'm curious who bought this.
you can afford this? May I ask sir, what do you do for work?
lol
My father actually bought this property..this is our winter home we love hosting Thanksgiving and Christmas parties there...we are the Helu family...you might be familiar with my grandfather..Carlos slim Helu..if not no worries. Have a blessed day friend..
Last sold c. 2019 for $3.2-million.
this listing is marvelous check It out

From the start until about 1:20 was beautiful. After that, it went down hill. The money shot was at 0:18 secs. My feeling is that the conservatory is probably the most used space in the entire condo. Seriously, that is the room where ALL deals are made. At night, I bet that the conservatory is so grand, you have charge folks a fee, just to get in.
True. That's why I can't live in Chicago as when I was looking for an apartment/condo, I keep seeing how the living room is the most used space. I don't understand why people don't use the other rooms equally? Sure, some don't cook that much, but the kitchen is a great place to stay. I'm thinking of other states to go in where all the space is used equally as every space matters.
have been to heaven before?, just by seeing a small room.. smh
I just want to play the piano 🎹😊
Not the best use of the space as it's the vintage architecture that makes it special...otherwise looks like any modern apartment.
What a beautiful condo! But it's very sad tgat tge city of Chicago is a unsafe place to live. Do to all the crime is going on in that city. If tgeir was hardly any crimes in tgat city. People would love to move there and cause all they want is a beautiful clean and a safe environment for their family.
I don't know if I would like a house you can hear echos when you talk.
The property is magnificent, the videos is not, it’s not up close and personal!
Why the fuck did they tear out all the original detailing? It looks like your apartment could double for a life insurance or accountants office! What an awful mess lol
I’d turn this into a bat cave
Just don't go out walking around there at night. The critters like to beat and rob anyone they can
The main space is great! The rest is pathetic and lazy design that merely yields to the views. So typically Chicago, you can find in any condo or faux soft loft in the South Loop. I wish the rest of the space matched the grandeur of the main colonnaded space in a modern way. Perhaps Roman and Williams should have designed it... *sigh*
Where are the bathrooms. How far away from the master bedroom. If u must run up and down two flights of stairs to have a P in the night, forget it.
Lovely views but the indoor space is to boring and stark.
So Midwestern. Not for me.
I kinda agree they say contemporary but not really it’s too midwestern. No taste. 🤭
The beginning room wonderful.....then it became shit, ruining it with that contemporary crap.....aweful designer!!!!
All that money to live in a war zone! I would pay more than that NOT too live in the most violent place on earth!!
No you can’t have both contemporary and classic this is horrible.
It’s an office space that’s about it.
Started so well, face-planted at the finish line. That modern decor is trash. And how will disabled guests navigate that space? If you break your leg, how are you going to navigate this home?
I don't understand why you show these places in builder's white with echoes reverberating around that would ruin your hearing in no time. You started well with the observatory room, but then it was just a bore. Modern pleases some, but really it is soooo boring and repetitive.
Bland and boring.
