Ten East Delaware delights the Gold Coast
Monday, April 30, 2007
By Kelly Matlock
Chicago, IL, US (NCS) - Now under construction at the corner of State and Delaware in the Gold Coast, the 35-story luxury condo tower, Ten East Delaware, is meant to feel more like a boutique European hotel.
While many of the neighboring condo towers are being renovated or rehabbed, residents find relief in a new, elegantly-designed building that will not force them to live through remodeling in the near future.
Ten East Delaware will soon offer 121 residences with one, two and three-bedroom floor plans ranging from 845 to 3,095 square feet and prices from $465,900 to $2.35 million. The cost is quite reasonable for the amenities and services that the building offers, according to Michael W. Reschke, CEO and chairman of The Prime Group Inc., the developer. His claim is backed by the fact that half of the units were sold in less than six months.
“As our sales have shown, when the right location, developer and architect come together, buyers will be there ready and waiting,” said Reschke. “Our buyers are very sophisticated. They know how rare it is for a new luxury building with this level of services and high-quality design and finishes to be built in the Gold Coast—especially at these high prices.”
Ten East Delaware is designed by French-born architect Lucien Lagrange and his Chicago-based firm known for local projects including X/O Condominiums, 840 Lake Shore Drive, 65 East Goethe, The Park Tower and Plaza Escada, Elysian Hotel and Private Residences and Chicago Union Station redevelopment.
A stonemason's son, Lagrange was raised in a small village just outside of Paris. He was educated in Montreal, Canada, and worked for a number of years at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, where he rose to associate partner and supervised a number of high-profile projects including major office and retail developments across the nation.
In 1985, Lagrange decided to strike out on his own and set up his one-man firm. His firm has grown significantly since then and been recognized and awarded for architectural achievements and masterpieces of design that even he may not have envisioned when he first arrived in the city.
Being true to the firm’s roots in both Chicago’s innovative architectural legacy and heritage of Lagrange’s native France, Lucien Lagrange designed Ten East Delaware with a classical French architectural style, or what Reschke describes as “a little bit of European and Polynesian flair, circa 1920.” The concrete and glass building is also made with sand-colored limestone and features intricate cornices and curving, oversized balconies. Interior design is by Chicago-based Darcy Bonner Associates and correlates with the luxury hotel scheme intended by the architect and developer.
Through a partnership with the adjacent Talbott Hotel, Ten East will offer its residents the option of a la carte housekeeping, room service and concierge. Some other impressive amenities include access to The Ten Club, the building’s exclusive rooftop-level clubhouse and state-of-the-art fitness center with private dining room for large dinner parties and social events, and outdoor swimming pool and sundeck. All buyers are also given their own private storage unit in the building, and 188 climate-controlled, indoor parking spaces are available starting at $55,000.
Individual units offer large windows that invite in a large amount of light and offer perfect city views. Over-height living and dining rooms feature hardwood floors, while high-end standard finishes include Poggenpohl cabinetry and granite and marble countertops in kitchen and bath; Franke, Wolf, Miele and Sub-Zero kitchen appliances, a Kohler soaking tub in the master bath; and six-inch crown molding and wood base in the living areas and master bedroom.
Prospective buyers also like the privacy that the building offers: only five residences per floor. The condo tower features a four-pipe heating and cooling system so that each residence has zone temperature control and owners have year-round control over the heating and cooling of their home.
The bonus amenities add to the appeal of Ten East’s brand new, spacious units. “Due to the size of some of our three-bedroom residences—up to 3,000 square feet—we’ve also seen a number of buyers coming from single-family homes in Old Town, Lincoln Park and Lakeview,” said Reschke. “These buyers have realized they can enjoy basically the same amount of space, but without stairs, or the hassles of maintaining a yard. And for families with children enrolled at Francis Parker School or the Latin School, moving to Ten East Delaware might even make for an easier commute.”
Delivery of Ten East Delaware is expected in spring 2009. Chicago-based @Properties, the city’s largest independent real estate brokerage, is the executive sales and marketing agent.
