Real Estate Developer Mr. Abdul Matin, President and Founder of Fortune Group, has taken his skills of investing in multi-family homes to a whole new level. He is introducing a spectacular new 70 unit condo development to include first floor multi-service retail stores at the corner of Niles Center Rd. and Dempster in Skokie. Fortune Group proudly introduces the Skokie Gardens Condominiums.

Skokie Gardens is being developed to meet the demand of a significant shift in suburban residential development patterns toward condominium living. This project is a major part of the revitalization of Skokie and the West Dempster Street Redevelopment District, a current plan of the Village of Skokie Community Development Department, which includes the new CTA Skokie Swift station, located only 2 blocks from the project.

The Skokie Gardens Condominiums project is expected to be completed by mid 2004 with ground breaking scheduled for April of 2003.

According to Mr. Matin, "The pent up demand for quality condominiums in Skokie is rising. We are at the right time at the right spot with the right price for all condo lovers."

Fortune Group only utilizes the best. Mr. Matin continues, "The building will feature specialty stone and brick patterns with cut stone surrounding the first level, as well as multiple bays, architectural roofing, large windows and sliding patio doors. A spectacular three story atrium lobby will include coffered ceilings, enhanced with drywall beams, and a combination of crown and neck moldings. Molded recessed wall niches, marble flooring blended with inlaid carpeting and tonal changes in the lobby's painted surfaces. The interior features are top quality including solid reinforced masonry construction, pre-cast concrete floor slabs and concrete block bearing walls for sound and fire resistance, all copper water piping, steels studs, and a forced air HVAC system."

Residents of Skokie Gardens will enjoy the best location in town, with a quick access to I-94- Edens Expressway, walking distance to the Skokie Swift and CTA Pace buses. Mr. Matin adds, "We are minutes from downtown Skokie, Old Orchard Shopping Center, Rush North Shore Medical Center. The area is loaded with restaurants, banks, schools, entertainment and recreational facilities. Since Skokie Gardens provides a maintenance free lifestyle, our residents will have more time to enjoy all these community resources and amenities."

Skokie Gardens offers luxurious suburban living with quick access to the loop and all the north shore has to offer. Inquire today about this truly unique living opportunity.
