While reviewing 2011 downtown Chicago condo sales statistics I ranked the median sale price for each building. Only condo buildings that had at least 2 sales recorded in Chicago’s multiple listing service (MRED) that closed in 2011 were included in the rankings. Only listed sales were used in determining median sale price for a building.
To make the top 10 in the rankings for 2011 a condo building needed a median sale price of over $1.5M. Not surprisingly most of the buildings that made the top 10 in the rankings were in the Gold Coast. However, the most expensive building was 840 N Lake Shore Drive in Streeterville.
