July 22, 2008 - If you’ve been watching the Trump Tower climb and waiting for the last floor to go up, it won’t be much longer. According to the Tribune, the tower’s architectural and engineering firm, Owings and Merrill, states that all 92 floors of the Chicago condo luxury high-rise will be standing by the end of August. You can probably expect a topping out party in typical Trump fashion to commemorate the occasion. That will still leave the addition of the top spire, but that too will be completed by early next year.

You might want to keep a couple of days free this week if you’re interested in The Residences of Bradley Place 2. An open house is scheduled for July 23rd from 4pm to 6pm and on July 27th from 11am to 1pm for four single family homes in that Chicago real estate development that are being auctioned on July 31st at 7pm. The auction will take place at Maggiano’s Little Italy on North Clark Street and Rick Levin and Associates is handling the sales.

The addresses of the homes are 2505, 2509, 2533 and 2537 West Patterson Avenue. These homes have about 4,600 square feet with five bedrooms and 3.5 baths. The developer didn’t skimp on these residences. They come with a basement, three car garage, 9 foot ceilings, oak staircase, spacious kitchen plus breakfast nook, fireplace in the living room, traditional brick exterior, covered front porch and a large landscaped private lot.

The homes had originally been priced from $900,000 to $1.4 million, but the Tribune reports that the minimum bid will start at $750,000. You must have a $28,000 cashier’s check in hand to be able to bid at the auction. These residences can’t be classified as Cheap Chicago Condos, but you may still be able to get a great single family home for a reduced price.
