Brickwork is progressing rapidly at 1400 W Monroe Street, a seven-story condominium mid-rise underway near the southwest corner of West Loop. Dubbed “1400 Monroe” and planned by JK Equities, the residential project will yield a total of 42 residences, ranging from two- to four-bedroom units. These listings begin at approximately $800,000 for a one-bedroom, $1 million for a two-bedroom, and $2.5 million for a four-bedroom penthouse.

Despite the relatively quiet surrounding neighborhood, the site is located near an abundance of interest points, including Skinner Park directly across Monroe street. Also nearby is Union Park to the northwest, retail and dining options throughout the West Loop area, and the Mark T. Skinner West Elementary school just a four-minute walk southeast.
Currently, sales gallery appointments are available at 33 N Morgan Street. With Summit Design + Build as the general contractor for the $17 million undertaking, move-ins are expected to begin this fall.
