West Loop Sellers: What 3 Standout Buildings Reveal About Today’s Condo Market
If you own a condo in the West Loop, you already know this neighborhood doesn’t behave like the rest of Chicago.
Buyers here are specific.
They are building focused.
They are data driven.
And they absolutely compare your unit to others inside your building before they compare it to anything else.
Today, I want to spotlight three iconic West Loop condo buildings that consistently attract serious buyer interest:
• 850 W Adams
• 111 S Peoria
• 1109 W Washington
If you’re a seller in one of these buildings, or nearby, this matters.
850 W Adams
Located in the heart of 60607, 850 W Adams is a boutique mid rise that consistently appeals to buyers who want a quieter residential feel while still being steps to Restaurant Row and Fulton Market.
What Buyers Love
• Solid construction and larger floor plans
• Private balconies
• Garage parking
• A walkable location near Madison and Halsted
What Sellers Need to Know
Buyers in this building pay attention to:
-
Renovation quality
-
Floor height
-
Exposure and natural light
-
Kitchen updates
Original finishes do not command top dollar anymore.
Neutral, cohesive updates win.
If you’re thinking about selling at 850 W Adams, pricing against the last sale alone is not enough. You have to analyze stack, floor, condition, and current competition.
That is where strategy changes everything.
111 S Peoria
111 S Peoria sits right in the Fulton Market growth corridor. This location has benefited tremendously from corporate expansion, restaurant development, and lifestyle demand.
What Buyers Expect Here
• Strong light
• Clean modern finishes
• Open concept layouts
• Move in ready condition
This is a building where buyers are often younger professionals working nearby. They value design. They value simplicity. They value convenience.
What Impacts Your Sale Price
• View corridor and exposure
• Balcony usability
• Updated baths and kitchens
• Market timing relative to new Fulton Market inventory
When inventory spikes in late spring, leverage shrinks.
Early positioning often captures stronger buyer urgency.
1109 W Washington
The Hayden
1109 W Washington Boulevard is home to The Hayden, one of the West Loop’s most exclusive boutique condominium buildings. It is a limited collection of just 28 residences with a full time doorman, elevator access, and a true luxury feel that reads more like single family living in the sky than a typical condo building.
What Buyers Love About The Hayden
• Boutique scale and privacy
• Full time door staff
• Secure private elevator access into many residences
• Large private outdoor space, often 215 plus square feet
• Two car parking is common
• Ten foot ceilings and elevated finish standards
• Lutron shades and smart home style automation features in many homes
What Sellers Need to Know
Buyers shopping The Hayden are not comparing you to average West Loop condos. They are comparing you to other high end boutique options and they scrutinize design cohesion, outdoor space, privacy, and livability. When your unit nails layout flow and finish quality, pricing power is real. When it feels dated, the buyer pool gets picky fast.

What This Means for West Loop Sellers
If you own in:
• 850 W Adams
• 111 S Peoria
• 1109 W Washington
• Or anywhere in West Loop
Your pricing strategy must be hyper specific.
Not Chicago specific.
Not zip code specific.
Building specific.
After hundreds of West Loop condo sales, here is what consistently determines outcome:
-
Launch timing
-
Professional photography and presentation
-
Strategic pre market prep
-
Accurate stack level comp analysis
-
Negotiation leverage positioning
The West Loop is not Lincoln Park.
It is not the suburbs.
And it does not follow national headlines.
It moves based on supply inside your building and buyer demand tied to Fulton Market employment, lifestyle trends, and interest rate psychology.
Thinking About Selling in the West Loop?
If you’re considering selling in 850 W Adams, 111 S Peoria, 1109 W Washington, or anywhere in 60607 or 60661, the first step is clarity.
• What is actually selling right now?
• What is sitting?
• Where does your unit truly fit?
A building level market report will tell you far more than a generic Zestimate ever could.
If you’d like a custom West Loop valuation tailored specifically to your building, layout, and condition, schedule a call.
Smart sellers plan early.
Strategic sellers win.
