Baird & Warner, Illinois’ largest family-owned independent real estate services company, and T2 Development have announced the completion of a model home and the start of construction on the remaining homesites comprising the Wolfram Collection, an assemblage of 10 new-construction single-family luxury homes in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood, located on the north side of the block from 1632 to 1650 W. Wolfram St.

The Wolfram Collection (previously known as Wolfram 18) is represented by Baird & Warner’s Jennifer Liu, who was brought on by the development team as the exclusive listing agent in early 2023 to take over sales from a different brokerage. After Liu quickly sold the project’s initial model home and had a second home under contract, the team soon finished work on a new fully furnished model home currently listed for $1,950,000. Two additional homes priced at $1,850,000 are set to deliver in the upcoming months – one by May and another by early summer.

Given such strong interest in the model and unbuilt lots, the development team opted to move forward with construction on all seven of the remaining Wolfram Collection homesites. With the model home available now and the next two homes slated for early delivery, the Wolfram Collection caters to buyers seeking swift move-ins as well as those who appreciate the greater degree of customization that comes with building a new-construction home.

“The decision to build the remaining homes without a pre-sales requirement is a testament to the superior design and floor plans of the Wolfram Collection, the strategic vision of the development team and our confidence in the demand for luxury single-family residences in Chicago’s Lakeview market,” said Liu. The Wolfram Collection presents a unique opportunity for homeowners to enjoy effortless upscale living at an amazing location.”

The Wolfram Collection offers homes with five to six bedrooms, three levels of living space and fully finished basements. The properties boast all-brick exterior architecture; high ceilings; rooftop decks; high-end finishes and appliances; options for customization of interior finishes on select homesites; and detached 2½ garages topped with additional deck space.

Situated along a quiet residential street surrounded by existing luxury homes, the Wolfram Collection residences are accessed by a private drive. Located in the desirable Burley School District, the development is around the corner from Chi Che Wang Park and within walking distance of restaurants, shopping and multiple grocery stores including Jewel, Mariano’s and Whole Foods.

“Due to Chicago’s low inventory of available single-family homes – especially new-construction options – we’ve seen more buyers opting for quick closings and move-ins,” added Liu. “The Wolfram Collection meets this pent-up demand by offering a range of floor plans and the flexibility for buyers to choose their interior finishes or opt for the fully furnished model home. With interest rates expected to decline from their 2023 highs, we expect sales momentum for the Wolfram Collection to continue its steady acceleration in 2024.”
