Capital Markets announced today that it has completed the sale and financing of
the new, luxury Apartment Homes at Kelmscott Park located in the greater
Chicagoland’s affluent North Shore community in Lake Forest, Illinois.

Castlelake, L.P., and worked on the behalf of the buyer, Intercontinental Real
Estate Corporation (“Intercontinental”), to originate the 10-year Fannie Mae
loan. The loan will be serviced by Jones Lang LaSalle Multifamily, LLC, a
Fannie Mae DUS lender.
On a per unit basis for residential components only, the sale
exceeds the previous suburban Chicago multi-housing record of approximately
$436,000 per apartment home set by the 2018 sale of 1620 Central in Evanston.
This trade also marks the first sale of a Class A, suburban, multi-family
property in 2020 and the only institutional suburban trade in the second quarter
thus far.
