The assets were acquired through Avanath’s institutional fund, Avanath Affordable Housing III for a combined total of $72.2 million.

The properties include 582-unit Hinsdale Lake Terrace in Willowbrook and 86-unit Drexel Court in Chicago.  Both are mid-1900’s-era affordable housing properties in economically thriving submarkets, according to John Williams, President and CIO of Avanath Capital Management.

            “The Chicago market is precisely aligned with our investment thesis, through which we preserve affordability in the nation’s most cost burdened regions, while simultaneously driving value for investors,” says Williams. 

“Chicago has emerged as a hub of growth with rapid economic revitalization that is now spilling over into the city’s submarkets and South Side. With this sprawl comes rent increases, which put pressure on the local workforce and community, resulting in a dire need for more affordable housing options.”
