About Vetro

The word "vetro" is Italian for glass, and the name couldn't be more appropriate for this shimmering tower in Chicago's downtown Loop. This beautifully condo development is still under construction, but it is expected to be completed by 2008, and when it is finished it will have all the modern amenities you need to live in comfort and style in the big city. The Vetro tower will house 232 separate units with assigned/deeded parking to accommodate residents who own their own vehicles. In addition to the well-maintained craftsmanship of the building, the units in this impressive building are offered in several different layouts with varying numbers of bedrooms and unit size.

On average, the residences in Vetro provide 772 square feet of living space. The choice of floorplans include anywhere from 1 to 2 bedrooms, which can range in area from 132 square feet to 144 square feet. But home isn't only about where you lay your head at night-the rest of the place is just as essential when looking for that perfect abode. The cook in the household will find the kitchens here are divine, covering 99 square feet of the entire unit. That's enough room to whip up a delicious five-course meal for the occasional dinner party, which can be hosted in the 240 square-foot dining room. There’s also a large, 336 square-foot living room in which to let your guests roam around, and not even have to worry about bumping elbows.

In addition to the unit basics, you'd probably like to know some of the figures behind the fundamentals - more specifically, what a place like this in Chicago's downtown Loop is going to cost. Of course, the numbers change depending on the particular unit, but the lowest listing price in the building is $255,190 and the average is $349,434. Now, on top of the asking price, it's important to think about the added expenses residents need to pay in taxes every year.
