1539 N Wells is a dual-building development in Old Town, one of Chicago's most desirable and walkable neighborhoods, steps from Wells Street's restaurants and boutiques with a walk score of 99. The front building — a vintage 1896 greystone — is being converted into condominiums, while a newly permitted five-story ground-up addition is being constructed at the rear of the lot, delivering four all-4-bedroom units with private balconies and a rooftop deck. Together the two buildings offer a rare combination of historic character and new construction in a neighborhood where large-format, family-sized rental units are exceptionally difficult to find.
