The Most Expensive Property In Chicago Is For Sale
By Samantha Abernethy in News on Jun 5, 2012 3:00PM
The 89th-floor penthouse of the Trump Tower is the highest residence in the western hemisphere, and it's on the market for a cool $32 million. With panoramic views of the city and 16-foot-high windows, it's also the most expensive property in Chicago. The 14,260-square-foot space has five bedrooms and eight bathrooms. That's $2,244 per square foot. Plus, homeowner dues come to $12,150 per month. And we thought Vince Vaughn's condo atop the Palmolive Building was pricey at $18.4 million.
As Curbed points out, it's sort of strange to see a real estate listing like this. Curbed writes:
These sorts of transactions often play out in another world far removed from the masses. Really. Only bazillionaires drop $32M on a place that still needs floors and doors (D. Rose went for a comparatively restrained $2.8M 84th-floor unit). And, of course, the listing agent is selling the space's rawness as a perfect pairing for big egos. It's hard to even envision what could become of such singular and enormous environs (16' ceilings, panoramic views).
