GVP Development - Portfolio

This architecturally pleasing building completely transformed the corner of Halsted Street and Cornelia Avenue in Lake View. This 26-unit building is a combination of one-, two- and three-bedroom condominiums and commercial space. In 2004, this development was the winner of the Home Builders Association of Greater Chicago’s “Gold Key Award” and the Chicago Association of Realtors’ “Good Neighbor Award”.

This six-unit condominium project is the winner of the 2004 Illinois Masonry Council's “Excellence in Masonry” award. Its design artfully brings together many special elements and details of The Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie School of Architecture style with the modern materials and living patterns of today. It is located on a quiet residential street in the heart of Lake View and just steps away from the dining, shopping and nightlife of Halsted Street. Each unit features private terraces, wide living spaces and gourmet kitchens.

This structure was carefully crafted to complement the Victorian architectural design of the neighborhood. The front door was salvaged from the former building and restored to its original beauty to create a truly distinctive entryway. This four-unit condominium building is situated on a 37.5-foot lot, which allows for wide, innovative and spacious living areas.

This building features richly detailed elongated brick, renaissance stone and limestone masonry construction. The arched windows and pergola combine to create an architecturally outstanding façade. The building contains four condominium homes with The Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie School of Architecture inspired wood molding and trim. Set on a 37.5-foot extra-wide block, each floor plan provides ample space for open, inviting living areas.

This property is a multiple winner of design awards, including the 2001 Chicago Association of Realtors' "Good Neighbor Award" for new construction condominiums, the 2002 Association of Licensed Architects' "Design Award" and the 2003 Home Builders' "Gold Key Award". It is located on a desirable street across from a newly rehabilitated block-long school park. Each unit features spacious rooms, private decks, elegant molding and trim, upgraded kitchens, and access to private storage rooms.

Located just steps away from the shopping and nightlife on Broadway Avenue, this nine-unit, 62.5-foot wide condominium building is a landmark on Briar Place. All of these spacious units feature The Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie School of Architecture trim work and molding, premium kitchens, and large private decks or patios. The penthouse unit is truly one-of-a-kind with over 3,500 feet of living space, two terraces, a private rooftop deck and highly upgraded finishes throughout. When this unit sold in 2000, it was one of the few million- dollar-range condominiums available in Lake View.

This six-unit development is a classic example of The Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie School of Architecture style. Its unique side entryway allows for smartly designed living spaces. The penthouse unit is a dramatic two-story loft living space with a private rooftop deck and skyline view. It is attractively located near the bustling retail district of Broadway Avenue in the heart of Lake View.

This four-unit building, built in 1998, set the standard for upscale condominium living in Lake View. This building was one of the original properties in the multi-unit housing market to offer richly detailed trim work, all masonry construction with articulated brick, renaissance stone and limestone façades, and highly upgraded finishes in the interiors. At the time of their sales, these units commanded some of the highest price-per-square foot prices in the market.

GVP launched itself as one of Lake View's premier developers by painstakingly restoring this six-unit condominium building to its original architectural elegance. It is ideally located just one-half block from Lake Michigan. Each unit contains elements of the property's original qualities, such as the mahogany trimwork and doors, stained-glass windows and original oak wood floors. The restoration offers aspects of today's living style, such as gourmet kitchens, master bedroom suites with walk-in closets, large outdoor decks and ample storage units.
