LISTING: Sono West meets Zhou Brothers

860 West Blackhawk

I sold this property in ten days. Read about it.

Art & real estate runs deep in my family so I always hope to find a way to fuse the two. We grew up bouncing between my mom’s Wicker Park antique shop and dad’s art studio. I spent my childhood rollerblading, Razor scootering, and running through the hallways of the Flat Iron building, Zhou B Art Center, and galleries in between, playing mini-curator and art critic since the beginning of time.

As I began my personal walk in curating and fundraising for art events, I joined the Michael Hall Group, Crain’s awarded Top Producing Team and Chicago top 1% producing real estate team. Michael Hall and I bonded over our personal art collection and affinity for local galleries. Because of Michael Hall Groups 24 years of experience & superior marketing plan, we sell our properties 3.1% faster than average realtor*. I sold this one in 10 days.

Bright and serene penthouse unit infused with sunlight and unobstructed southeast views. Floor-to-ceiling windows, large private deck off the living room, and stellar view of the developing ‘Wild Mile Chicago,’ the first-ever mile-long floating eco-park in the world located on the North Branch Canal of the Chicago River. The Wild Mile will continue to drive prices up in the area.

The buyer brought his interior designer along and I could not miss the opportunity to point out the three Zhou Brothers pieces in the lobby. The Zhou Brothers are legendary and established cultural figures in the contemporary art world and throughout Chicago. They have resided in Chicago over the last thirty years. Learn more about their Zhou B Art Center in Pilsen and their legacy.

After comprehensive research of the area, I boldly listed the property as the highest one bedroom in the building at the time, immediately driving up the value of all one bedrooms in the building. If you were following me on instagram (@listwithlola) at the time, you remember when I rode my bike across town with a brand new, replacement washing machine gasket wrapped around my handle bars. My go-to-any-length attitude on behalf of my clients afforded us a quick and easy close.

If you are considering buying or selling, give me a call. I would love an opportunity to recommend new washing machine accessories, provide you with a cooperative market analysis on what your home may be worth, or simply discuss local art events.
