A Note on the "Dearborn Park" Name

"Dearborn Park" refers to more than one thing in the South Loop, which can cause confusion:

• The overall Dearborn Park planned community, built starting in 1977 on former rail-yard land south of the Loop

• Dearborn Park I (899 S Plymouth Ct) and Dearborn Park II (901 S Plymouth Ct), the two high-rise towers profiled elsewhere in this guide series
• A separate Dearborn Park II townhouse subdivision built south of Roosevelt Road between 1987 and 1998

This page focuses specifically on the condominium building at 889 S Plymouth Court.

• Multiple Dearborn Park condominium buildings and townhomes
• Tree-lined streets and green space
• Downtown Loop employment access

Considerations for Buyers

Verify Building Specifics Directly

Those Wanting Historic Character

Buyers specifically drawn to 19th-century printing-industry architecture may prefer the historic loft buildings profiled elsewhere in this series, since this building is part of the more recent, purpose-built Dearborn Park development rather than a converted historic loft.

Considerations About the Building & Area

Unverified Building Specifics
