Chicago, IL (April 2, 2009) - Mesa Development, LLC and Walsh Investors, LLC are pleased to announce the topping off of The Legacy at Millennium Park, a 356-unit luxury condominium tower overlooking Chicago’s famed lakefront and Millennium Park.  Construction of the 72 story, 822 foot tower, overseen by general contractor Walsh Construction Company, is proceeding according to schedule and initial occupancies are expected in the fall of 2009. Richard A. Hanson, Principal of Mesa Development stated, “Everyone involved in The Legacy project is extremely proud of this achievement.  Now that the building is topped out, its graceful position on Chicago’s famous skyline is fully evident”. With almost 90% of the residential units under contract, The Legacy, designed by the renowned Chicago-based architecture firm Solomon Cordwell Buenz, is a rare bright spot in the Chicago real estate market.  “I attribute our success to the beautiful building design, the spectacular views and the incredible value The Legacy offers to its purchasers.  No other residential project in Chicago offers this combination of lake and park views, luxury finishes and unbeatable amenities”, stated Hanson.  Mesa Development and Walsh Investors created the Millennium Park residential market with their successful Heritage at Millennium Park condominium development in 2005.  Using this experience, the team has refined the product offering at The Legacy to provide a truly spectacular lifestyle to residents. The Legacy also enjoys a special connection to the University Club of Chicago.  The exclusive 125 year old city club is adjacent to The Legacy and connected by a new 13th floor skybridge. The University Club is an independent, private membership club with admission governed by its own membership policies and bylaws. Legacy residents can access the club’s new 8,000 sq. ft. squash center, reserve hotel rooms in the recently renovated club building, and have meals catered to the building’s event space by the club’s famed kitchen staff. Despite being almost 90% sold, The Legacy’s remaining residences offer a variety of floorplans and views.  Ranging from 875 square feet to more than 9,300 square feet, homes at The Legacy are priced from the low $400s for one-bedrooms to more than $4 million for penthouse residences. The Legacy at Millennium Park sales center and designer furnished model residence are located at 18 South Michigan Avenue, Suite 700.
