Built in 1930 on a 7,997 SF corner lot, the 21,615 SF building delivers a family-oriented unit mix of six 2-bedroom, six 3-bedroom, four 3-bedroom 1.5-bath, and four 4-bedroom 2-bath apartments. The property requires capital improvements to the boiler system, electrical service, and plumbing throughout, presenting a clean slate for a full gut renovation and lease-up at market rents. Pro-forma operations project $422,000 in total scheduled income and $212,000 of net operating income once stabilized. Located minutes south of the Loop and three miles from the $3.1B Obama Presidential Center opening June 2026, the asset sits within a corridor of active reinvestment, new construction, and retail growth. Chicago's metro-wide multifamily vacancy fell to just 3.0% in Q2 2026, among the tightest of any major U.S. market, positioning this South Side value-add opportunity for strong lease-up demand and long-term appreciation.
