“This value-add property closed at an attractive 7 percent cap rate,” said Bill Baumann, senior managing director, who represented the buyer in the transaction. 

“The fully occupied, well-maintained building is also located in a popular, stable Chicago neighborhood. 

"Location was a key selling point as the building is just blocks from the Kimball Avenue Brown Line ‘L’ stop, North Park University and Northeastern Illinois University.”

  

“The seller purchased this property only two years ago and made several impressive improvements. By approaching Kiser Group, the seller was able to maximize its value in a very short amount of time,” said Lee Kiser, principal of Kiser Group, who represented the seller in the transaction.

The elevator building includes 16 residential units above a street-level commercial space that houses Chuckie’s, a restaurant and bar. The apartments feature gourmet kitchens, stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, private balconies, in unit laundry and access to a rooftop deck. Baumann represented both the buyer and seller of the property.
