 CHICAGO, IL – HFF announced today that it represented Furniture, LLC in the sale of SoNo East, a luxury 22-story multi-housing tower with ground-floor retail. 

The property is located at 840 West Blackhawk Street in immediate proximity to Chicago’s new Whole Foods flagship store, the CTA Red Line Station at North & Clybourn, and numerous retail and entertainment attractions.

HFF marketed the property on behalf of the developer, Smithfield Properties, in the summer of 2011 while it was still under construction.  Prudential Real Estate Investors agreed to purchase the asset upon completion.  The ultimate closing took place in the last week of December 2012.
