THE BUILDING
339 W Barry built in 1963 was Chicago’s first high rise condo building. It houses 73 condos in its 26 stories. It was designed for privacy with 2 to 3 condos per floor with 2 elevators. Parking is attached and comes with a leased fee averaging $160 per month. There are a few quest parking spaces, however, there is a wait list for a leased spot.
Utilities included within the monthly assessments are heat, air conditioning, and water. There is a 24 hour door person and a laundry room but no other amenities. I was told by an agent that reserves are stable for now.

Cooking appliances are electric. All the units have balconies with spectacular views of lake and park. There are few resales. The most recent sale was unit 8A, a 1,950 sq ft 3 bedroom 3 bath condo which sold in June 2013 for $680,000.

339 Barry was not Chicago’s first condo building, and it doesn’t claim to be. It was the first high-rise condo, however.
Fountain View, at 6355 — 6359 N Ridge, was Chicago’s first condo.
Thank you Joe, I appreciate your insight. I updated the informative background about 339 W Barry building.
