Amid all the overwhelming news of deceased celebrities last week, the news about the passing of Chicago real estate developer Fred Koshaba, received only second billing in the Chicago media. Mr. Koshaba was a former client of ours. The condominium development at the southeast corner of Touhy and Caldwell Ave in Edgebrook was his project among some other successful condo projects he had previously completed in Chicago. Mr. Koshaba had initially approached us in 2005 and asked us to help him find a name for his Edgebrook project. Since the parcel was situated in the northwesternmost corner of Edgebrook, we suggested “Edgebrook Pointe”, a name he immediately and most enthusiastically adopted.

We were deeply saddened to learn over the weekend that Mr. Koshaba actually found his rather tragic demise in just the building in which he had invested a lot of his energy and resources. Our sympathies and condolences go out to Mr. Koshaba’s family and friends.
