heres a timber loft duplex in bridgeport, more than double the size, right off the booming halsted strip, for less than 20k more. and a hell of a nicer place to come home to.

Not to get into a big thing about this, but the Archer development's clientele are those who came here from China and to some, this type of location isn't even a big deal to them. Location does suck, but you'd be surprised - my guess is that they will try and build up the ground floor space with more Chinese businesses (like what they did a little with the smaller Halsted & 26th). I just wouldn't count out the ability to attract business within their community if they have ~200 units that end up being mostly occupied. There's even a Chinese bakery that opened up recently on Ashland decently closeby to this that relocated from Chinatown. These units (and location) obviously suck but it'll be interesting to see, given that they're apparently selling out, if it brings some new business to the general are.
