EVANSTON, ILL. (February 12, 2008) – Sales have commenced at the 71-unit Mainstreet Station, southeast Evanston’s most affordable new construction, offering top quality units in the city’s most premier location. Located at 520 Main Street, the new development is slated to start construction in Spring 2008 in preparation for a tentative opening in Spring 2009. The luxury condominium building is being brokered exclusively by Rubloff Residential Properties in Evanston and developed by Bernard Katz & Associates of Highland Park.

Ranging from only $327,900 to $569,900, Mainstreet Station offers affordability without compromising location, convenience, quality or style. Within walking distance to great shopping, restaurants, entertainment venues, parks and stunning Lake Michigan, residents will be able to take advantage of the very best beautiful and historic Evanston has to offer while leaving the car keys at home. Public transportation via the Metra and Chicago Transit Authority “L” lines is also closely available to whisk residents away to downtown Chicago or to popular destinations along the North Shore.

While location is certainly important, especially in today’s market, consumers also want to know that they are getting the best possible value. Mainstreet Station offers residents some of the best amenities available, including 12 different floor plans to choose from with customized floor plans starting at 1,080 square feet. All units feature distinctive design, premiere finishes, nine foot ceilings, hardwood floors, walk-in closets, bathrooms with double vanities, in-unit washer/dryer and balconies. Complete with a heated garage, crucial during those long Midwest winters, and extra storage units located on the same floor as your unit, Mainstreet Station offers luxury living without the exorbitant price tag.

“In terms of location and quality, Mainstreet Station is the best priced new construction available in the area,” said Mary Ellen Tainer, branch manager at Rubloff Residential Properties in Evanston. “We are thrilled to have been named the exclusive brokerage firm for this property that represents the best that Evanston has to offer in luxury living.”
