Abstract
This thesis analyzes condominium and apartment development in the downtown Chicago residential market between 1997 and 2011. Specifically, it focuses on developments that converted from apartments to condominiums mainly during the boom years between 1997 and 2007 and developments that converted from condominiums to apartments during the bust years between 2008 and 2011. In the case of the latter, this thesis seeks to determine the reason or reasons that these developments had to convert from condominiums to apartments through a detailed analysis of four such developments. This analysis addresses development drivers including timing, pricing, and location. Additionally, this thesis considers the overall market conditions including supply, demand, economics, and demographics to determine what caused the boom and the ultimate bust of the market and these developments.
