What does a smart condo developer do when the market crashes? He tries his best to stay afloat, says Jacob Bletnitsky of Russland Capital Group. Bletnitsky and his business partner, Alex Vaisman, talk to Joe Askins of YoChicago.com and NewHomeNotebook.com about what it's like to be a homebuilder in a market flooded with unsold homes. Bletnitsky and Vaisman also talk about their plans for the future, including the eventual development of a plot of land near the intersection of Harrison and Wells streets in the South Loop.
