Construction wraps up on 'Alcove' Wicker Park condos

Chicago-based Vermilion Development officially completed construction on the seven-story Alcove Wicker Park condominium project at 1648 W. Division Street, located steps from the Division CTA Blue Line stop.

The 55-unit building features 1,365 to 2,430-square-foot residences. Offered in two- to four-bedroom floorplans, the condos start at $800,000 and feature private outdoor space, nine-foot ceilings, wide plank wood flooring, and kitchens with Viking appliances and Copatlife cabinetry.

"Seeing the completed building for the first time has been an 'aha moment' for many homebuyers," said Kerry Dickson, managing director at Vermilion Development, in a statement. "When you enter the courtyard from Division, you really get the sense that this is a true oasis in the heart of bustling Wicker Park. It's unlike anything else in the neighborhood in terms of the combination of privacy and convenience."

The brick-clad building comes from Chicago architecture firm Hirsch MPG and is situated immediately adjacent to the Wicker Park Connection rental development, also designed by Hirsch. Alcove Wicker Park also includes 12 four-level townhomes starting at $1,130,000. The townhouses will be ready for delivery "on a rolling basis throughout this summer," according to the development team. 

"At a time when inventory is low throughout the city, Alcove Wicker Park offers a variety of plans and price points to choose from, all for immediate delivery," added Cyndy Salgado, executive vice president of sales for @properties Development Group.
