New Construction condos in Bucktown Chicago
2-3 unit condo buildings
New construction condos in Bucktown are mostly found in the format of two and three unit buildings built on the site of an old teardown home. Duplex condos, a home spanning two floors, are a common theme today and they live similar to a single family home. In these small condo associations, the top floor, duplex-up unit, typically includes a roof deck on top of the building, while the lower floor duplex-down, gets outdoor space over the buildings garage. New construction three unit buildings also include a smaller simplex (single floor) home on the buildings middle floor. If you walk the side streets of Bucktown you'll see the green construction fences on most streets marking the sites of new construction condos.
Larger projects
There are some larger new construction developments in Bucktown from time to time, but they are more of an exception than the rule. Piecing together enough parcels of land to support a large scale building is the main issue, but creative developers find a way. These condo buildings often include elevators and other sought after amenities not found in smaller buildings. Loft conversions are much more common than a full, ground up, new build.
