Former Super Bowl-winning Chicago Bears head coach Mike Ditka and his wife, Diana, on Nov. 12 paid $575,000 for a two-bedroom, 2,143-square-foot condominium on the 30th floor of a Streeterville high-rise. With the purchase, the Ditkas now are once again owners in the same building where they had owned a two-bedroom, 1,904-square-foot condo on the 39th floor from 2000 until late 2023. The Ditkas’ new condo has two bathrooms, a marble entry and hardwood floors throughout the living room and dining room. The unit first had been listed in August for $599,000, and the Ditkas wound up paying the exact same amount — $575,000 — that they got for the sale of their 39th-floor unit a year ago. Emily Sachs Wong, who represented the Ditkas in their new purchase, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Can the Bears’ lakefront dreams actually come true?
