INTRODUCTORY MATERIAL

1. Statutory Requirements.

Chapter 100.2 of the Municipal Code of Chicago, currently numbered Chapter 13-72 (the "Code") requires that the developer of condominium units disclose accurately all of the material characteristics of the condominium units being offered for sale. This Report (the "Report") is the means by which the required statutory disclosure is to be made and contains the information required by the applicable provisions of the Code. ANY PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER RECEIVING THIS REPORT SHOULD READ IT CAREFULLY.

2. Format of Report.

This Report consists of two parts, a narrative portion and an exhibit portion. The narrative portion summarizes the significant features of 1251-65 West Granville Avenue, Chicago, Illinois (the "Building"), and presents additional information of interest for prospective purchasers. The exhibits include, among other things, legal documents which relate to the creation and operation of 1251-65 West Granville Avenue Condominium Association (the "Condominium Instruments"), copies of the forms of sales documents applicable to individual Units, a statement of the sales prices of unsold Units and estimated monthly tax and assessment payments for each Unit, and an estimated operating budget and engineer's report. In the event of any inconsistency between the narrative and exhibits, the exhibits will govern. All of the Developer's sales and other representatives are prohibited from orally changing any of the terms and conditions of the Condominium Instruments or, with the exception of the Developer's attorneys, attempting to interpret their legal effect.

Employees, agents and brokers of the Developer are forbidden by the Developer from modifying this Report, interpreting the legal effect of the Report, Condominium Instruments, or sales contract, or making any promises on behalf of the Developer. Prospective purchasers are urged to read all documents and this Report carefully and to rely only on their own attorneys and advisors. The Report is not a legal offer to sell real estate; a contract results only if the prospective purchaser submits a written offer to purchase a Unit which is accepted by the seller in writing.

The definitions of words and phrases set forth in Chapter 100.2 of the Code (currently numbered Chapter 13-72) are also followed herein, except where otherwise provided, and all information is as of the effective date of this Report. However, amendments may be issued and attached after the effective date through either supplements or substituted pages.

3. The Condominium Concept.

The term "condominium" refers to a form of property ownership which, in effect, combines two forms of ownership. A condominium unit owner is, at the same time, both the sole owner of the portion of a building which comprises the space of his or her living quarters (the "Unit") and one of many owners (in legal terms, "tenants in common") of all other portions of the Condominium Property (as defined in the Condominium Declaration) known as "Common Elements". In general, the Common Elements consist of those portions of the Property which support, enclose or service the Units, and includes all portions of the Condominium Property which are not part of a residential or parking space. Each individual Unit owner has a percentage share -- an "undivided interest" -- in the ownership of the Common Elements. The undivided interest is expressed as a percentage of the total undivided ownership of the Common Elements. The ownership of this percentage interest gives the Unit Owner the right, subject to the terms of the Illinois Condominium Property Act (the "Act") and the Condominium Instruments, to use and participate in the control of the Common Elements and also imposes upon the Unit Owner certain obligations, one of which is to pay the Unit Owner's percentage of the expenses of operating and maintaining the Common Elements. The condominium form of ownership with respect to 1251-65 West Granville Avenue Condominiums will be created upon recordation of the Declaration of Condominium Ownership for 1251-65 West Granville Avenue Condominiums (the "Condominium Declaration") with the Recorder of Deeds of Cook County, Illinois.

4. Brief Description of 1251-65 West Granville Avenue Condominiums
(the "Condominium").

The Condominium is located in the City of Chicago on a site commonly known as 1251-65 West Granville Avenue. The building was an apartment building and is partially vacant. The apartments in the building are being refurbished by the Developer. There are a total of 27 units: 5 one-bedroom units, 20 two-bedroom units, and 2 three-bedroom units. Except for the area designated as S-1 on the Plat (the "Parking Space"), there is no parking on the site. The Parking Space ("S-1") will be a limited common element and will be assigned by the Developer to only one of the Unit Owners. The Units, the one Parking Space, the common elements and easements appurtenant to the Condominium are referred to collectively as the Condominium Property.

B(3) COMMON AND LIMITED COMMON ELEMENTS

The Condominium Property consists of the real estate which is legally described in Exhibit C to this Report and all improvements to such real estate.

The Common Elements are defined in Article III of the Declaration to be all of the Condominium Property other than the Units, and are more specifically described in Section 1 of Article III of the Declaration as follows:

"Except as otherwise provided in this Declaration, the Common Elements shall consist of all portions of the Property except the Units and shall include the Limited Common Elements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Common Elements shall include: the walls, roof, hallways, stairways, entrances and exits, mechanical equipment areas, meter rooms, storage areas, trash rooms, garages, master television antenna and cabling system (if any), pipes, ducts, flues, shafts, electrical wiring and conduits (except pipes, ducts, flues, shafts, electrical wiring and conduits situated entirely within a Unit and serving only such Unit), heating, air conditioning and ventilating systems and equipment serving the Common Elements, elevators, public utility lines structural components of the Building as such components serve the Condominium, and all other portions of the Property except the Units."

The Limited Common Elements are defined in Section 3 of Article III of the Declaration as follows:

"The Limited Common Elements shall consist of such portions of the Common Elements serving exclusively one or more Units as an inseparable appurtenance thereto, as designated as such in this Declaration, depicted on the Plat or which by the nature or location thereof are to be reserved for the use of one or more Units to the exclusion of other Units. The Limited Common Elements shall include, but shall not be limited to, the following: (a) the interior surface of the perimeter walls, ceilings and floors which define the boundary planes of a Unit; (b) perimeter doors, windows and skylights which serve exclusively a single Unit; (c) any system or component part thereof which serves a Unit exclusively, to the extent that such system or component part is located outside the boundaries of a Unit; (d) porches, outdoor patios or garden areas which are contiguous to one or more Units; (e) storage areas designated on the Plat, and (f) the Parking Space assigned to a Unit."

B(4) IMPROVEMENTS ON ZONING LOT

There are no improvements on the zoning lot on which the Condominium is located which are not part of the Condominium. Located on the Condominium Property is a 3-story brick building containing 27 Units and one assigned Parking Space (S-1).

B(5) EASEMENTS, STREETS AND DRIVEWAYS

The location of easements, streets and driveways on or contiguous to the Condominium is as shown on the survey of the Parcel attached as Exhibit A to this Report. The Parcel is located on corner of Granville and Lakewood in Chicago.

There are no unrecorded easements presently affecting the Condominium except as described below. The Declaration contains reservations and grants of easements as are more particularly set forth in Article IV thereof.  See Declaration of Condominium.

B(6) DRAWINGS AND ARCHITECTURAL PLANS

To the extent such drawings, plans or other documents are necessary for the work undertaken by Developer and exist, they are on file at the Department of Buildings, City of Chicago, 8th Floor, City Hall and may be inspected during the Department's regular business hours.

B(7) PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION

Developer will undertake certain renovation work in the Building, as noted in the Engineer's Report attached as Exhibit J to this Report and as described in Exhibit L to this Report. The Developer is renovating the Units. A description of the work to be completed in each Unit is attached as Exhibit L to this Report. The work in each Unit commences as it becomes vacant and will be completed prior to the closing of the sale of each Unit.

B(8) LIMITATIONS OF USE OF DWELLING UNITS

Limitations on the use of Units are set forth in Article XII of the Declaration as follows:

"The Units and Common Elements shall be owned, occupied, and used subject to the following covenants and restrictions:

1. Permitted Use. No part of the Property shall be used for other than housing and related common purposes for which the Property was designed. Each Unit shall be used as the owner's primary or secondary residence for a single family or such other uses permitted by this Declaration and for no other purpose.

2. Obstruction of Common Elements and Unit Maintenance. There shall be no obstruction of the Common Elements nor shall anything be stored in the Common Elements without prior consent of the Board except as herein expressly provided. Each Unit Owner shall be obligated to maintain and keep in good order and repair his own Unit.

3. Prohibited Use. Nothing shall be done or kept in any Unit, or in the Common Elements, which will increase the rate of insurance on the building or contents thereof applicable for residential use without the prior written consent of the Board. No Unit Owner shall permit anything to be done or kept in his Unit or in the Common Elements which will result in the cancellation of insurance on the building or contents thereof, or which would be in violations of any law. No waste shall be committed in the Common Elements. No Unit Owner shall overload the electric wiring in the building or operate any machines, appliances, accessories, or equipment in such manner as to cause, in the judgment of the Board, an unreasonable disturbance to others, or connect any machines, appliances, accessories or equipment to the heating or plumbing system without the prior written consent of the Board.

4. Unit Owner Insurance. Each Unit Owner shall be responsible for his own insurance on his personal property in his own Unit, his personal property stored elsewhere on the Property, and his personal liability to the extent not covered by the liability insurance for all the Unit Owners obtained by the Board as provided herein.

5. Exterior Attachments. Unit Owners shall not cause or permit anything to be placed on the outside walls of the building and no sign, awning, canopy, shutter, radio or television antenna shall be affixed to or placed upon the exterior walls or roof or any part thereof without the prior consent of the Board.

6. Window Treatment. The use and the covering of the interior surfaces of the glass windows and/or doors appurtenant to the Units of the building, whether by draperies, shades, or other items visible from the exterior of the building may be subject to the rules and regulations of the Board.

7. Pets. No animals, livestock, fowl, or poultry of any kind shall be raised, bred, or kept in any Unit or the Common Elements, except that dogs, cats, caged birds, fish or other common household pets owned by a Unit Owner or other Occupant may be kept in Units provided that they are not kept, bred, or maintained for any commercial purpose and that any such pet causing or creating a nuisance or unreasonable disturbance shall be permanently removed from the Property upon ten (10) day written notice from the Board. The Board may also adopt such rules and regulations restricting the number of pets in any Unit, the areas of the Common Elements in which pets may be located and similar requirements and fines for the violation thereof as it deems reasonable and appropriate. Each Unit Owner or Occupant shall be responsible for removing any waste deposited by such animal.

8. Nuisances. No noxious or offensive activity shall be carried on in any Unit or in the Commons Elements, nor shall anything be done therein, either willfully or negligently, which may be or become an annoyance or nuisance to the other Unit Owners or Occupants.

9. Unsightliness. No clothes, sheets, blankets, laundry, or any kind of other articles shall be hung out or exposed on any part of the Common Elements. The Common Elements shall be kept free and clear of rubbish, debris and other unsightly materials.

10. Personal Effects. There shall be no playing, lounging, parking of baby carriages, strollers or playpens, bicycles, wagons, toys, vehicles, benches, or chairs on any part of the Common Elements, except as may be permitted on the Limited Common Elements. No access to or storage of personal property shall be permitted in the boiler or mechanical rooms in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Board.

11. Commercial Activities. No industry, business trade, occupation, or profession of any kind, commercial, religious, educational, or otherwise, designated for profit, altruism, exploration, or otherwise, shall be conducted, maintained, or permitted in any Unit.

12. "For Sale" and "For Rent" Sign. No "For Sale" or "For Rent" signs, advertising, or other displays shall be maintained or permitted on any part of the Property, except at such location and in such form as shall be determined by the Board; provided that the right is reserved by Developer and its agents to maintain on the Property until the initial sale of the last Unit, all models, sales offices, and advertising signs, banners, and lighting in connection therewith, at such locations and in such forms as Developer shall determine, together with the right of ingress, egress and transient parking therefor in and upon the Common Elements.

13. Exceptions. The restrictions contained shall not, however, be construed in such a manner as to prohibit a Unit Owner from: (a) maintaining his personal professional library therein; (b) keeping his personal business or professional records or accounts therein; (c) handling his personal business or professional telephone calls or correspondence therefrom; (d) maintaining a computer or other office equipment within the Unit; (e) utilizing secretarial help and having occasional business visitors; or (f) receiving deliveries. Such uses are expressly declared customarily incidental to the principal residential use. A Unit Owner may operate an in-home business from their respective Units provided such businesses are lawful, do not involve the regular or consistent entry of salespeople, customers or clients, and do not cause a nuisance to other Unit Owners, and provided further that the Unit is used at all times primarily as a residence of the person operating the in-home business in such Unit."

According to the Chicago Zoning Ordinance (1980), the Condominium is located in an R-3 Residential District. At present, to the best of Developer's knowledge, there is no present or contemplated use which would violate said Zoning Ordinance.

Limitations upon leasing of Units are set forth in Section 1 of Article VII of the Declaration, which provides generally that a Unit may be leased, but that no lease or sublease may be for a term of less than six (6) months.

B(9) PURCHASE OF MULTIPLE UNITS

A purchaser may purchase more than one Unit if the Developer, in its sole discretion, chooses to sell more than one Unit to a purchaser. Since there is no such restriction on the resale of Units, it is possible that an Owner may own more than one Unit even if the Developer will only sell one Unit to the Owner.

B(10) CONDITION OF TITLE/STATEMENT OF LEGAL OWNERSHIP

The real estate which is subject to the Declaration is legally described in Exhibit D to this Report. Developer is the legal owner of such real estate. A list of all restrictions, notices, lis pendens and encumbrances of record with respect to the real estate as of the date of this Report is set forth in Exhibit C.

C. TRANSFER OF DEVELOPER'S CONTROL

Until the initial meeting of the Unit Owners and the election of a Board of Directors by the Unit Owners at the initial meeting, the powers of the Board shall be exercised by the Developer. The initial meeting of the Unit Owners shall be held no later than the "Turnover Date", which shall be the date on which the first of the following occurs: (a) sixty (60) days after the Declarant has conveyed at least 75% of the Units, (b) the expiration of three years from the date on which the Declaration is Recorded, or (c) the date designated in a written notice from the Declarant to all of the Unit Owners as being the Turnover Date.

At the initial meeting of the Unit Owners, the Unit Owners will elect a full Board of five (5) Directors. The Board shall serve as provided in the Bylaws. The Directors shall be elected for a term of one (1) year. At each election for Directors, each Voting Member (as defined in the Declaration) shall have the right to cast with respect to each Unit represented by the Voting Member that number of votes equal to the Undivided Interest assigned to the Unit, multiplied by the number of Directors to be elected, and such votes may be cast cumulatively. The Voting Member who represents Units owned by the Developer will thus be entitled to cast votes for each such Unit which is owned by the Developer. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT AT AND AFTER THE INITIAL MEETING OF THE UNIT OWNERS, THE DEVELOPER MAY CONTINUE TO EXERCISE SIGNIFICANT VOTING POWER IN THE ASSOCIATION, INCLUDING THE POWER TO ELECT DIRECTORS, THROUGH ITS CONTINUED OWNERSHIP OF UNITS.

D. PENALTIES FOR UNCOMPLETED CONSTRUCTION

There are no provisions for penalties if construction completion dates are not met. No additional costs will be imposed upon the Unit Owners if such dates are not met.

E. PROTECTION IF DEVELOPER DEFAULTS ON ENCUMBRANCES

1. Earnest Money. Prior to the closing of the purchase of a Unit, any earnest money deposit made by the purchaser will be held in a segregated escrow account which will bear interest only as required by the Act and, pursuant to Section 24 of the Act, will not be subject to attachment by any creditor of a purchaser or of the Developer or by the holder of a lien against any portion of the Condominium Property.

2. Release of Lien of Blanket Encumbrance. At the closing of the conveyance of a Unit and the delivery of a deed thereafter, all Blanket Encumbrances (as defined in the Code) (other than the lien for real estate taxes for the year in which the Declaration is recorded), shall be released or shall be insured over by the title insurance company which insures the purchaser's title to the Unit. Accordingly, a subsequent default by the Developer under such Blanket Encumbrance(s) will not adversely affect the rights of any Unit purchaser after the closing of the purchase thereof.

F. PENDING LITIGATION

As of the date of this Report, the Developer knows of no claims or litigation, pending or threatened, which could affect the Condominium or the Developer's ability to convey clear title.

G. REAL ESTATE TAXES

The most recent ascertainable real estate taxes levied on the real estate described in Exhibit C to this Report was for the year 2002. The total amount of the 2002 real estate taxes for the real estate was $13,292.34.
(2004 Taxes - 1st installment - $7789.70 - paid March 1, 2005))

Real estate taxes for condominium units in Cook County are determined by the Cook County Collector by multiplying the market value of each Unit (determined by the Cook County Assessor) by a fraction (currently, either 16% or 33%) and by multiplying the product by an equalization factor (determined by the State of Illinois) and a tax rate (determined by the local taxing districts).

All Units will be assessed individually as tax parcels, and a real estate tax bill will be issued for each Unit. Until separately assessed tax parcels are created by the Cook County Assessor for each Unit of the Condominium, all Unit Owners shall be collectively responsible for paying the real estate tax bills for the real estate in accordance with their Undivided Interests.

Assuming that the Declaration is recorded during 2004, it is likely based on current practice that the Cook County Assessor will assess each Unit separately for 2005. The assessed valuation is determined on the basis of the use of the property being assessed and multiplying the market value by a certain assessment percentage. The percentage applied to rental residential property (over 6 dwelling units) to arrive at the assessed valuation is currently 33%. The assessment percentage for single family residential property should apply to those Units which are sold to owner occupants which is currently, 16%, so it is possible that the assessment may decrease as a result of the recording of the Declaration and the sale of Units.

Any owner who owns more than six Units in the Condominium may be subject to the rental-residential assessment rate of 33% of market value.

Under current law, a Unit Owner who resides in the Unit which he or she owns on January l of a year may qualify for a Homeowners Exemption from the Cook County Assessor for such year. In addition, the Owner of a Dwelling Unit who resides in a Unit on January 1 of a year and is 65 years of age or older may qualify for a Homestead Exemption from the Cook County Assessor for such year. According to the Assessor's Office, the Homeowner and Homestead Exemptions allow the Assessor to reduce the assessed valuation of the Unit. The Developer makes no representation or promise that either of these exemptions will be available to Unit Owners or as to the amount of the resulting tax savings, if granted. For information regarding these programs, contact the Cook County Assessor's Office directly.

On the assumption that the Declaration will be recorded in 2004 and that, therefore, the first year in which separate tax bills will be issued on a unit by unit basis will be 2005, Exhibit E to this Report includes an estimate of one twelfth (l/12) of the annual real estate taxes for 2005 (payable in 2006) applicable to each Unit. These estimates were determined by multiplying the listed sales price of each Unit by 2%, which, in Developer's experience, is a reasonable method for estimating real estate taxes for Units in a condominium conversion in Chicago in the neighborhood in which the Condominium is located. These estimates will be updated and revised if more current information is received. THE DEVELOPER CAN MAKE NO GUARANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE REAL ESTATE TAX ESTIMATES CONTAINED IN EXHIBIT E, AS VARIOUS GOVERNMENTAL DEPARTMENTS OVER WHICH THE DEVELOPER HAS NO CONTROL HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR DETERMINING THE MANNER OF ASSESSMENT FOR AND COMPUTATION OF REAL ESTATE TAXES."

At the Closing of the sale of each Unit, real estate taxes shall be prorated as provided in the Real Estate Sale Contract which is attached as Exhibit D to this Report, as follows:

2003 Taxes: There shall be no proration of 2003 taxes and they shall be paid by the Seller when they become due and payable in 2004. Proof of payment shall be provided to Purchaser upon request.

2004 Taxes: Real estate taxes for 2004 shall be prorated on the basis of the last ascertainable real estate tax bill. The last ascertainable real estate tax bill is assessed against the entire property and the tax on the Unit shall be computed by multiplying the last ascertainable real estate tax bill by the percentage of ownership interest in the Common Elements pertaining to the Unit. On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deposit with Seller an amount equal to 120% of its estimated share of real estate taxes for the Unit based on most recently ascertainable taxes representing the period from the Closing Date through December 31, 2004. Seller shall pay all of the 2004 taxes as they become due in 2005, including Seller's actual share of 2004 taxes prior to the Closing Date. If the amount of Purchaser's deposit differs from Purchaser's actual share, an adjusting payment will be made by Purchaser or Seller as the case may be.

2005 Taxes: Since it is anticipated that real estate taxes for 2005 will be assessed on a unit by unit basis, Developer will credit each purchaser, at the time of closing, a sum equal to the last full year's tax bill, prorated ratably as of the date of closing.

H. FORMS OF SALE DOCUMENTS

(1) The basic form of Real Estate Sale Contract proposed to be used by the Developer is attached as Exhibit D to this Report.

(2) The form of Deed proposed to be used by the Developer is attached as Exhibit F to this Report.

(3) The Developer does not intend to finance the sale of Units. Accordingly, no form of trust deed, mortgage or promissory note is included in this Report.

I. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF UNIT SALES

All Unit sales are to be pursuant to the terms and conditions as set forth in the Real Estate Sale Contract which is attached as Exhibit D to this Report. A statement of the initial sales price of each Unit in the Condominium is attached as Exhibit E to this Report.

Closing and settlement costs, as they pertain to mortgage financing, are arranged directly between purchasers and their lenders. These expenses may consist of service charges, loan commissions, prepaid interest, appraisal and credit report fees, deposits into tax escrows or pledge accounts, fee for loan policies or title insurance and related endorsements, premiums for private mortgage insurance, premiums for mortgage insurance, origination fees, money lender's escrow charges and other related expenses.

Other closing charges to be paid by Unit purchasers consist of:

1. Deed and Money Escrow Fees - estimated at approximately $250.00 for purchaser's share;

2. Deed recordation and other similar charges customarily charged to purchasers - estimated at approximately $100.00. In the event the purchaser conveys title to his Unit to a land title holding trust, an additional charge for recording a Deed in Trust will be made;

3. City of Chicago Revenue Stamps at the rate $3.75 per each $500 (or any part thereof) of the sales price of the Unit; and

4. Attorneys' fees incurred by purchasers, which shall be each purchaser's responsibility and cannot be estimated by the Developer.

5. Any fees charged by Purchaser's lender or charged by the title insurer as a result of a requirement of Purchaser's lender. These amounts cannot be estimated by Developer.

Closing charges to be paid by Developer include:

1. Developer's share of Deed and Money Escrow fees, if any;

2. State Revenue Stamps - $.50 cents for each $500.00 (or part thereof) of the sale price of the Unit;

3. County Revenue Stamps - $.25 cents for each $500.00 (or part thereof) of the sale price of the Unit; and

4. Title insurance charges customarily charged to a seller.

Pursuant to the Real Estate Sale Contract, purchaser will be required to pay to the Condominium Association at closing an amount equal to two (2) months of the current Annual Assessment for each Unit purchased, and the prorated portion of the current month's assessment for each such Unit. Exhibit E to this Report contains estimates of monthly assessments for each Unit based on the proposed Budget of the Association, which is included as Exhibit G to this Report.

J. MONTHLY ASSESSMENT, TAX AND UTILITY PAYMENTS

The estimated monthly payments for assessments and real estate taxes in the first year after the sale of the first unit are shown on Exhibit E attached hereto. Each Unit Owner of a Unit will be billed directly by the local utility providers (such as Commonwealth Edison Company, Peoples Gas, the City of Chicago and Ameritech) for electricity, gas, water, cable, cable television and telephone usage, respectively, and the amounts of such bills will vary according to usage. Certain utility charges may be billed to the Condominium Association and included in each Unit's monthly assessment. The costs for heating the Units and hot water are billed with respect to the Building as a whole and not to individual Units. These costs are included in the amounts shown for the monthly assessments.

The amount actually billed by a utility for non-heating uses will vary depending on each Unit Owner's individual use and any increases in rates.
