2006 construction = bells and whistles of new construction + shoddy construction, moisture problems, leaking roof, eroding tuck pointing, etc etc. + shell entity developer with no recourse.
I have a friend who purchased the top floor of one of these generic three flats that are now all over Lincoln Park/Lakeview. Awesome roof top deck (and all the bells and whistles). Last time I spoke with him, he said he has spent over $60k in repairs. I think he bought in the low $400k about 5 years ago.

JEC Composites - Ashland's Envirez resin technology now for tub ...
No matter what color people choose for their bathtubs and showers, they can now all be ‘green’ – thanks to bio-resourced Envirez® resin technology from Ashland Performance Materials, a commercial unit of Ashland Inc. . New Envirez LF 60380 resin contains more than 20 percent soy oil and other renewable resource content. In addition to Envirez LF 60380 resin, Ashland has also introduced Enguard™ DSZ series of formulated gelcoats, which are based on the Envirez resin technology. The new gelcoat, which contains 13 percent renewable content, represents the first time Envirez resin technology has been used in a gelcoat. The gelcoat is designed to partner with Ashland’s new resin formulation to deliver excellent performance for filled laminating applications used in high production line speeds. Ashland introduced bio-based composites into common building and construction components, such as tub and shower units, to meet a significant need for architects and builders who are focused on sustainable building programs. Components fabricated with Envirez LF resin and Enguard DSZ gelcoat can earn credits from the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED*) program, a nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings. People interested in learning more about Envirez LF resins can contact Moffit at (614) 790-1715.
