SKOKIE, Illinois-At the corner of Niles Center Road
and Skokie Boulevard once stood a building which housed the
American Academy of Computer Science.
That building has since been reduced to rubble and in its
place will soon rise the Skokie Gardens Condominiums, a spectacular
70-unit condo development complete with first floor multi-service
retail stores and 3-story atrium of marble, glass and cut
stone.
It will feature seven (7) spacious floor plans to choose from,
climate controlled parking and 24-hour security. Units are
either 2 bedrooms with 2 baths or 3 bedrooms with 2 baths,
gourmet kitchens, granite countertops, designer cabinets,
top-of-the-line appliances, custom baths and breakfast rooms.
Each unit will also have huge walk-in closets, hardwood floors
for the living room and dining room plus spacious balconies
with panoramic views (3 bedroom units will each have 2 balconies).
The Skokie Gardens is a major part of the revitalization of
Skokie and the West Dempster Street Redevelopment District,
a current project of the Village of Skokie Community Development
Department encompassing the new CTA Skokie Swift station which
is only two short blocks away.
 Skokie
Gardens offers luxurious suburban living with quick access
to the loop and all that the North Shore offers such as shopping
(Old Orchard Shopping Center), transportation )I-94 Edens
Expressway, Skokie Swift), and recreation – golf courses,
restaurants, theatres, etc.
The ground-breaking ceremony has been set for Monday, May
19 at 10:30 a.m. at 8828 Niles Center Road, with Mayor George
Van Dusen as the guest of honor. Hosting the rites will be
Mr. Abdul Matin, President and Founder of Fortune Group, one
of the leading real estate development specialists in Chicago’s
northern suburbs.
Construction of the Skokie Gardens Condominiums is expected
to be completed by mid 2004.
As of now, 30% of the units are already sold with six (6)
contracts pending. Units are going fast due to the huge savings
from pre-construction pricing which starts at $299,900.
The Fortune Group Sales Center is open Monday through Saturday
from 11:00a.m. to 6:00p.m., Sunday 11:00a.m. to 4:00p.m.
