A newly built house in Bronzeville sold for $1.35 million, a new record high in the neighborhood’s ongoing redevelopment. Less than two weeks ago, Crain’s reported that two new greystones on South Martin Luther King Drive with asking prices of about $1.1 million were under contract to buyers. Because of ethics rules, the listing agent could not divulge to a reporter what their final sale prices would be before the closing.
