Those services along with water, cable TV including in-house information, central heat, individual unit air conditioning, and telephone intercom with lobby door entry system require monthly assessments which range from $237 to $901.

According to a listing agent the building reserves are running at $500,000 and mentioned that although the condo association is not partial to significant special assessment fees they did have one a few years ago. It’s a nice building. Some of the recent completed projects include: elevator modernization, hallway air conditioning, replacement of the roof top sun deck, installation of a new boiler heating system, complete replacement of all the windows and lobby updating. The agent also went on to say that the monthly assessments might increase 2% every other year.

The 222 condos in the building are comprised of the following; 18% are 2 bedrooms, 58% are 1 Bedrooms, 24% are studios with a couple of unique sized units that have been combined and redesigned over the years.

There is a wait list for one of the 91 parking spaces in the indoor heated garage with costs that range from $130 to $145 per month. However, there is nearby public parking on the next block at the Hallmark Building at 2960 North Lake Shore Drive which will lease an indoor space for $205 per month.
