January 19, 2009 – The first of the 342 one and two bedroom condos at Roosevelt Collection will be ready for move-in by this summer, and as the date for first deliveries edges closer, more press about this large-scale Chicago real estate development is being released. The Tribune recently gave some details on the mega mixed-use project that totals about 1.3 million square feet and is located on Roosevelt Road, sandwiched between Clark and Wells Streets.

The Roosevelt Collection will include a mix of a minimum of 40 stores and shops, the condo lofts situated above those levels and in the final phases, a 43 story rental high-rise. The parking garage is underground below the plaza and will have access points from Wells and Roosevelt Streets to help with extra traffic from residents and shoppers, according to the article. The underground parking levels will also help to reduce the heat island effect that lower level above ground parking generates. That, along with green roofs on the shops and theater are some cool eco-friendly features.

Interior design details are courtesy of Cecconi Simone Inc. and include baths with porcelain tile, soaking tubs and rain showers. The kitchens sport Italian wood cabinets and stainless steel Kitchen Aid appliances. Even the often times pointless hallway space has been utilized to contain a closet washer and dryer laundry station. Other features include large balconies, a door man, business center, fitness center and bike storage. These Chicago condos run in price from the $300,000s to mid $600,000s, have from 759 to 1,497 square feet and are quickly becoming some of the most popular Chicago Condo Lofts for sale right now.
