I hear on radio and saw in the paper that HOK are offering aprtments in chicago . Having read article in todays New York Times i think prople sould be aware that these prices seem quite high for the location plus you have the currency risk

In Chicago, real estate agents say each neighborhood is different. A high-rise building boom has created a glut of condos downtown and buyers can often negotiate free parking spaces, which previously would have cost $35,000. But the pickings are so slim in the popular Lakeview area north of the central business district that an agent, Brad Lipitz, recently found only three listings there. "Chicago is comprised of many markets," he noted.
i looked on property sites in america such as century 21 and found properties in same zip code as the HOK ones and theres better value http://www.century21.com/buy/buy_results.aspx?type=R&State=IL&City=&County_flag=0&Zip=60616&MLS_ID=&PriceMin=0&PriceMax=300000&BedsMin=0&BathsMin=0
