May 19, 2008 – With the recent grand opening of the Solstice on the Park sales model, Jeanne Gang’s love it or hate it 27 story Hyde Park high-rise is once again in the spotlight. The unique slanted windows, strategically placed balconies for optimum shade and geometric shape of the design all combine to make this tower one of a kind in this neighborhood and perhaps even the city.

The model open to the public is a three bedroom layout temporarily located on the building lot. To give prospective buyers a good idea of the view they’ll be getting at Solstice, computer animated views are available on site. This building is certainly taller than most in the neighborhood, and the nearby Museum of Science and Industry campus provides an interesting landscape on one side.

There are no one bedroom Chicago condo units at Solstice. Floor plans range from two to four bedrooms. The two bedroom units range from 1,550 to 2,300 square feet, the three bedroom condos from 2,300 to 2,800 square feet and the spacious four bedroom suites have from 3,400 to 4,200 square feet. Prices start at $480,000 and run up to more than $2.5 million.

Building amenities in this development include a half acre landscaped garden with seating and a BBQ area on the fifth floor, along with the fitness center and hospitality center located there. An outdoor swimming pool and sun deck are also on tap. The two story lobby will flow into a sun-filled library plus conference room for residents.

The units at Solstice are a bit tilted towards a more upscale buyer or family looking to move to Hyde Park and we’ll have to keep an eye on this new Chicago real estate development to see how well it sells compared to other Chicago Luxury Condos.
