CHICAGO, IL (Jan. 2,
2014) – Kiser Group, Chicago’s leading mid-market commercial real estate
brokerage firm, has been retained for four new listings in the Chicago area – a
five-unit mixed-use building at Sheffield and Wellington avenues in Chicago’s
Lakeview neighborhood; a 16-unit walk-up near Northwestern University in
Evanston; a 19-unit apartment building just steps from Lake Michigan in
Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood; and a two-building portfolio in Hyde Park
offering 77 units.
3000-3002 N. Sheffield - Lakeview, IL
Listed for $1.9 million and located at 3000-3002 N.
Sheffield, this five-unit mixed-use property in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood

corner with bars and restaurants. The apartments have been renovated, yet still
feature vintage architectural details from the original 1898 construction.

“This Lakeview opportunity presents an investor the
opportunity to acquire a renovated, stabilized property with established,
long-term commercial tenants,” said Lee Kiser, principal of Kiser Group,
who is marketing the listing.
“It’s highly desirable location just steps from
the Brown Line ‘L’ Stop appeals to renters that work downtown, and the retail
and restaurant tenants benefit from all the commuters walking by every day.”
127 Ridge - Evanston, IL
Listed for $1.8
million, 127 Ridge is a 16-unit walk-up apartment building in Evanston.
The corner property consists of one three-bedroom, 10 two-bedroom, two
one-bedroom, and three duplex apartments. Building upgrades include new copper
plumbing and recent roof work. The property is blocks from both Evanston and
Chicago public transportation. The units are fully leased, and most of the
tenants are long-term residents of the building.

“127 Ridge presents tremendous upside potential for an
investor because as-is rents could be considerably higher than current levels,”
said Brian Semel, senior managing director of Kiser Group, who is
marketing the property.
“The apartments
offer more square footage than is typical in the area, and it’s located near
downtown Evanston and Northwestern University, an area with extremely high
rental demand.”
7234 S. Coles – South Shore, IL
Listed for $950,000, 7234 S. Coles is a 19-unit apartment
building situated just blocks from Lake Michigan and South Shore Golf Course.
The unit mix consists of six two-bedroom and 13 one-bedroom
apartments, each with one bath. Units feature hardwood floors throughout and
newer kitchens and bathrooms.
Some of the many updates to the building include:
new roof, new porches, newer windows, newer boiler, and updated units.
