The 1400 Monroe building will be a collection of 42 luxury newly constructed residences.
While most real estate projects are on hold because of the coronavirus pandemic, a New York firm is breaking ground on a 42-unit luxury condominium building on Chicago’s Near West Side.
The timing is curious because the developer behind the $34 million building at 1400 W. Monroe St., JK Equities, has halted work on a much larger Chicago project because of COVID-19 safety concerns.
