Condos are for sale at The Fairbanks At Cityfront Plaza – 240 E Illinois in Chicago’s Streeterville neighborhood. Here’s a review of the building and condos I’ve previewed or shown (none are my listings) along with photos and details of the other condos for sale.

THE CONDOS

All of the condos have in-unit laundry (typically stacked) and at least one balcony. Cooking appliances are gas. Brands I’ve repeated seen include Thermador, KitchenAid, Frigidaire and Bosch. Most of the condos are in the high-rise portion of the building. A smaller number are lofts on the south side of the parking levels.

    there are actually 3 associations, 1 for the highrise condos, 1 for the lofts, and 1 for the parking.
    you need to be above floor 23, to see past the embassy suites to the east.

    any clue to why 1/1.5 in this building seem to command a premium over other in the area (600 n FB and 160 E Illinois)

    Hi Spence,

    Especially on the south side, 240 E Illinois has better views than 600 N Fairbanks and 160 E Illinois. From what I’ve seen condos in 240 E Illinois also have higher end finishes than those in 160 E Illinois.
