Hudson Home

Dear Friends,

I hope that everyone is enjoying the last few weeks of our beautiful weather! Summer was a busy one for the folks at Hudson Home. Many new projects and some great articles on work we have been doing in the city. Be sure to take a read on the transformation of a home we did in the Lakeview neighborhood — you can see the article in the magazine or see it right here by clicking this link: http://www.chicagohomemag.com/Chicago-Home/September-October-2007/Special-Delivery/

With fall on the horizon, many buyers will begin to look for new homes - some of which may require extensive renovation. We are a strategic and value-added service for you to utilize - here is how we work with realtors of your caliber:

Agents that specialize in luxury and upper bracket sales ask us to participate in walk-thrus when they have clients that may be interested in purchasing a specific property that requires extensive work. We attend the meeting, learn and understand your clients design objectives, add value by supporting your sales effort and quickly follow up with a comprehensive financial summary which estimates the overall cost to implement your prospective buyer's plans. We of course provide this service free of charge as it is business development on our part and a fact I'm sure you can appreciate. Most importantly, your buyer has a true sense of investment it would take to implement their plans before making an offer.

Current luxury renovation projects include:

• 7,000sf Cooperative at 209 East Lake Shore Drive
• 5,000sf SFH in the Gold Coast
• 3,100sf Home at 1040 N Lake Shore Drive
• 4,400sf Condominium at 1325 N. Astor Street
• 3,800sf Condominium at 1550 N. State Parkway
• 3,000sf Cooperative at 399 Fullerton
• 2,500sf build out of a "raw" penthouse condominium unit at 500 W. Superior
• 2,150sf Condominium at 990 N Lake Shore Drive
• 5,000sf Greystone in Lincoln Park
• 6,000sf Multi-unit conversion to a SFH in Lakeview

For those of you new to learning of our services...

Hudson Home a full service construction and architecture firm that specializes in the renovation of luxury and upper bracket residences. In addition to over fifty master trade professionals that work exclusively for Hudson Home, we also have three architects (with our lead architect coming from long engagements at both Marvin Herman & Assoc. as well as LR Development), several interior designers and project managers. However, we also work with clients that already have established relationships with an architect or designer whereby we only provide construction and project management. In fact, architects often are most comfortable working with Hudson Home as all of our construction managers are also licensed architects. This is quite an upside especially when it comes to clear and concise communication.

Being that you work with a discerning clientele that often requires high-end construction and general contracting services, I know you must find that there is a shortage of ultra-professional firms that have the ability to work seamlessly, on-time and within budget - especially in luxury condominiums, cooperatives as well as single family homes. As many of your clients will at some time require our services, I believe Hudson Home would be a tremendous resource for you to have on hand.

Please take a moment to visit our website at www.hudsonhomeinc.com. I hope to have the opportunity to speak with you very soon and please do not hesitate to call me if we can be of any assistance to you and your clients whatsoever. I can be reached at the office at 773.907.5500 extension 223, via cell at 312.375.4333 or by email frank@hudsonhomeinc.com.

On behalf of all of us at Hudson Home, we look forward to working with you.

Best,

Frank Goldstin
