Lincoln Ave Lofts

Built in 1925. Great Location.

16Ft Ceilings, Exposed Brick, West Exposure.

This spacious and open loft condo is located just south of the six-way intersection of Lincoln, Belmont, and Ashland ("Six Corners"). The building, originally a Goldblatt's department store, was built in 1895. In 1996, it was converted into loft condominiums. The building is one of the two tall structures in the area and towers above the surrounding neighborhood.

The Lincoln-Belmont area has been undergoing massive urban renewal which has accelerated in the last year. Many of the older buildings have been torn down and replaced with new retail storefronts. New construction stretches down Belmont from Sheffield to Damen, and all along Lincoln Avenue. A retail development is being built on the empty lot of Belmont, Lincoln, and Ashland, and three brand new condo buildings are being constructed on this block alone. Property values are expected to increase at an above-average pace for the next several years.

Guests are greeted by an impressive marble-tiled lobby. The marble is the original flooring from Goldblatt's - it was rediscovered under layers of tile and carpet during a rehab of the common areas two years ago and restored to its former luster. The ceilings in the lobby along with the main living areas have 14' ceilings. As you walk in, be sure to see the enormous framed classic black-and-white photograph of Lincoln Avenue taken during the 1920's.

On the 7th floor of the building is a large (20' x 20') common-area roofdeck. It's a popular place during warm weather and a good place to meet your neighbors. The building is one of the two tall buildings in the area which makes it a fun place to hang out during the annual air & water show. You can actually see the pilots' helmets as they fly overhead!

Lakeview has abundant restaurants, shopping and nightlife. It's a younger neighborhood, with much of its population under 30, as housing is slightly cheaper than neighborhoods surrounding Lakeview.

Lakeview is also home to the Chicago Cubs' and Wrigley Field. Wrigleyville is known for its many bars and restaurants primarily located on North Clark. These bars are especially bustling during baseball season when they feed and entertain thousands of fans. Wrigleyville's section of Lakeview has the following boundaries: Halsted to the East, Ashland to the West, Roscoe to the South, and Byron to the North.

Lakeview architecture has something for everyone. Buyers can choose from new construction condos, modern single family homes, hi-rises buildings, renovated rental and loft buildings, to turn of the century greystones.
