River North
Located in the heart of River North, Ontario Place at 10 E Ontario Street is a building that perfectly balances modern luxury and urban convenience. This high-rise condo building offers residents world-class amenities, stunning city views, and easy access to Chicago’s top attractions. However, recent market fluctuations have created a unique opportunity for prospective buyers who are looking to invest in River North at a great value.
In 2024, the condo market at Ontario Place faced a major shift when the investment firm, Strategic Properties of North America, canceled its purchase and deconversion plans for the building. This decision has led to a decrease in condo values, creating a rare opportunity for savvy buyers. Currently, 13 out of the building’s 467 condo units are listed on the market, but only three of these units are under contract, indicating that there is room for negotiation and the potential to secure a great deal.
Despite the market challenges, Ontario Place remains a prime location in River North, one of Chicago’s most desirable neighborhoods. The building’s proximity to top-notch restaurants, art galleries, nightlife, and the Magnificent Mile makes it an ideal place to call home. For anyone looking to buy in River North, Ontario Place presents a fantastic opportunity—its current prices, lower than neighboring properties due to the market downturn, offer excellent value in comparison.
If the condo association continues to demonstrate stability and good management, this could be an ideal time to invest. The location alone, combined with the reduced prices, makes Ontario Place an attractive option for future buyers who are looking for both a beautiful living space and an investment in one of Chicago’s most sought-after areas.
With over 20 years of experience in the real estate market, Hudson Parker Real Estate knows Ontario Place intimately. The brokerage has several pocket listings within the building, meaning they often have access to properties that may not be publicly listed, giving you an edge in securing a unit. Whether you’re looking to buy or sell, Hudson Parker’s expertise in Ontario Place can help you navigate the current market and make an informed decision.
Given the current state of the market, Ontario Place represents an incredible value for those who are willing to act now. River North’s real estate market is always in demand, and properties in this location rarely stay on the market for long once the prices return to normal levels.
So, whether you’re looking to purchase a condo in one of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods or want to explore the potential investment opportunities, now could be the perfect time to buy at Ontario Place.
