Swift sales in phase one of Row 2750 in Lincoln Park have led Chicago-based LG Development Group to break ground ahead of schedule on phase two of the luxury development.
All but one of the homes in the first phase sold in less than six months, prompting the developer to start sales and construction on the second and final phase.
Located at 2750 N. Lakewood Ave., the enclave of 11 residences includes nine town homes and two duplex condominiums, priced from $699,000 to $1,399,000. Measuring 1,890 to 4,100 square feet, the homes offer two to five bedrooms, two to five baths and an attached one-, two- or three-car garage.
According to Brian Goldberg, partner in LG Development Group, the development has experienced such strong interest from buyers that more than a quarter of the homes were sold before ground was broken.
"In this market, most people want to see a completed home before they purchase, yet we had buyers before we'd even cleared the site, and we continue to have buyers purchase before we've put up drywall. It certainly speaks to the high demand for this type of housing in the area," he said.
All residences include hardwood flooring, 10-foot ceilings, oversize windows, two wood-burning fireplaces with stone surrounds, wiring for plasma TVs, surround sound and the Internet, walk-in closets, built-in bookshelves and a security system.
Each home has a chef's kitchen with an island; eating area; pendant lighting; glass, tile or solid stone backsplash; and high-end appliances. Some plans include spa baths with a separate shower and soaking tub, a wine cellar and a private rooftop terrace.
The first homes are expected to be delivered in June.

K. Hovnanian in Mundelein
Tall Grass Ridge, a single-family home development in Mundelein by K. Hovnanian Homes, will celebrate its grand opening Saturday.
Located at Midlothian Road and Courtland Street, Tall Grass Ridge will include 37 sites adjacent to a natural wetlands area.
"The grand opening of Tall Grass Ridge is especially exciting since it is the first new community in Chicagoland to be marketed under the K. Hovnanian name," said Ray Blankenship, area vice president.
The community will offer six two-story home designs with base prices starting at $229,995. Floor plans range from 2,052 to 3,238 square feet, with three or four bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths and two- or three-car garages, along with several options.
The Dirksen, a 3,145-square-foot two-story home, will be featured as a model home. Priced from $299,995, it includes four bedrooms plus a second-floor bonus room, 2 1/2 baths and a three-car tandem garage.
"Buyers are looking for homes that have more usable family space and less space devoted to seldom-used formal rooms," Blankenship said. "This trend is reflected in the Dirksen floor plan."
The sales center is open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, visit khov.com.
