If you live in Chicago, there’s no doubt that you’ve seen the construction site for Vista Tower.

I mean, who hasn’t? It’s been in construction for nearly 5 years now!

But there’s no wonder why it has taken so long. Vista Tower is the second largest residential building in all of Chicago at the whopping height of 1,191 feet. It’s second to Trump Tower which stands at 1,388 feet tall.

Chicago real estate has never seen so much action as it has in the past few years.

There are so many luxury condo buildings popping up around the city, it’s hard to keep track of them all. This means that there’s never been a better time to buy new construction condos in Chicago than now.

Though, buying a new-build is a bit different than buying a condo that has been around for a few years.

To help you through the process, here’s your guide to buying new construction in Chicago:

Advantages of Buying Chicago New Construction

There are plenty of advantages to buying new construction in Chicago, one of them being that you’re the first person to ever live in your unit.

The time has finally come.

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices KoenigRubloff Realty Group has shortened its name.

We’ve all been waiting for this moment—when we no longer have to spend an eternity typing it out.

On December 4th, executives made the decision to change the company’s name, and in January 2020, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Koenig Rubloff Realty Group will officially become Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chicago.

This means we have dropped a whopping 5-syllables from their original 16-syllable name.

Gone are the days of fumbling over the spelling of KoenigRubloff and forgetting a word somewhere in the middle of the name.

Now, life is a little bit simpler.

And we can thank the agents and clients who voiced their

When it comes to accolades and pop-culture cache, it's hard to beat New York. After all, what can compare with the iconic status of the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, or a sea of angry cab drivers?

For some, this kind of brand recognition puts New York squarely at the top of big American cities, on a par with L.A., or London.

If you live in Chicago, you already know. But if you don't know, it's time to learn why America's Second City is actually the best - or at least better than New York.

1. That Holiday Feeling

New York is the city that never sleeps...which sounds awful, not to mention bad for your health.

Chicago, on the other hand, is a giant

If you're still wondering or talking about millennials not buying homes...then you're behind the times.

Millennials are entering the home buying market in a big way, and have been for the past few years.

But that's not to say that they haven't faced obstacles, many of which are still shaping how, when, and why they're jumping into the real estate market.

The desire to own a home hasn't changed much for the younger generations, but rising student debt, stagnant wages, high rents, and later marriages, have all pushed back the home-purchasing decision for those born between 1981 and 1997.

Courting this dynamic cohort means understanding their challenges, as well as their desires.

What Do Millennial Home-Buyers Want?
