The possessor of a 12-year contract with the Hawks, Marian Hossa has decided to buy a home in downtown Chicago:
↵↵↵Features in Hossa’s new condo include 3 1/2 baths, home theater and views of the skyline, Lake Michigan and a nearby park. The unit also has cherry hardwood floors in the living, dining and family rooms, walk-in closets in all bedrooms, Swarovski light fixtures, a gourmet kitchen with Miele appliances and an open breakfast area, and a master bath with a steam shower, custom vanities and heated onyx floors.

Fancy. And expensive at $2.35 million. But not as expensive as it would have been two years ago:
↵↵↵Listed briefly in 2008 for $3.19 million and then for $2.95 million, the condo returned to the market last August for $2.95 million and was reduced to $2.85 million in January.

The recession even hits high-end real estate. Who knew?
