Beautiful development in Lincoln Park!

Originally envisioned as 105 units, the project replacing the shuttered Tag Furnishings outlet at Wrightwood and Hermitage was later scaled back to 90 and finally 76 dwellings before passing the Chicago Plan Commission in May of this year.

Congrats to our client and friend in being named best French macaron in Chicago!!

The delicate French macaron is a work of art, but not all macarons are created equal. We found the tastiest flavors in Chicago.

It was hard news to swallow for people who are still calling the White Sox's home "Comiskey Park."

WOW! McDonald's headquarters moving from Oak Brook into the West Loop in the old Oprah property!

Renderings leaked in 2015 show the largest studio building on the campus would be demolished.

Proud of my good friend, Juan Moreno, for winning the Chicago Neighborhood Development Award for excellence in community design. Such an awesome building on display, hanging over 90/94!

Even prouder that he is paying it forward with the award money going towards a scholarship for students to travel!!

Chicago-based JGMA has won the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Awards for Excellence in Community Design Award.

C(r)ook County homeowners...brace yourselves! If you don't appeal your property taxes every cycle, you should...especially this time around. The majority of appeals get their taxes lowered, so it's an added tax for those who don't! I have 2 great tax attorney referrals - I always help recommend to my clients - if you need one.

”No, it's not a piece of art,” the mayor said of the $543 million measure. ”But are we better off? Yes.”

Great article on Serosun Farms and what's going on out there:

Tony subdivisions around the suburbs have traditionally been situated along golf courses, a waterfront or recreational gathering spaces.

From planning and design build to delivering your dream makeover, let The Roper Group give your home some love!

Some homeowners do some repairs and makeovers for their homes even when it is not yet necessary. Well, maybe they just want a new look or they have enough

Excited about this fun project we are working on, coming this holiday season to Lincoln Park! Seems like we are not the only ones looking forward to it!
