RMK Management Corp. Awarded Property Management of 10 N. Main Luxury Apartments in Downtown Mount Prospect, IL

Anthony Rossi Sr.

 

CHICAGO, IL — RMK Management Corp., one of the Midwest’s largest market-rate apartment management firms, has been selected by First Equity Group LLC to oversee property management for 10 N. Main, a new five-story, 97-unit luxury apartment building in downtown Mount Prospect, Ill..

 

Located at 10 N. Main St., the community welcomed its first residents earlier this year.

 

“We’ve been managing apartments across the Chicagoland area for more than 40 years, so we know exactly what matters to renters in this suburban market and are thrilled to add 10 N. Main to our management portfolio,” said Anthony Rossi Sr., chairman of Chicago-based RMK Management.

luxury apartment building in
downtown Mount Prospect, IL

 “Over the past few years, there has been an increasing demand for luxury rental in the suburbs, which was only exacerbated by the pandemic.

 

"And until just this past year, Mount Prospect hadn’t seen a new, Class A rental option for decades.

 

“10 N. Main is the right building, at the right time and in the right location. It’s a great option for renters looking for more living space as well as access to the outdoors – whether it’s a private balcony or terrace or the building’s shared rooftop amenity space.”

 

Located in downtown Mount Prospect, 10 N. Main has a “walk score” of 72, and is a book-lovers dream, as residents are across the street from the Mount Prospect Public Library. 

10 N. Main offers studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartments, with one to two baths, measuring 598 to 1,353 square feet, although only one-and two-bedroom apartments are currently available.

 

Rents for one-bedroom apartments range from $1,815 to $1,843 per month, and rents for two-bedroom apartments range from $2,320 to $2,396 per month, inclusive of all specials.

JLL Capital Markets closes $30 million sale of TownCenter Park in Wilsonville, OR to Canadian REIT

Carrie Kahn 

 

 PORTLAND, OR – JLL Capital Markets has closed the $30 million sale of TownCenter Park, a 111-unit, 1990-built, garden-style multi-housing community in Wilsonville, Oregon.

 

JLL marketed the property on behalf of the seller, Curtis Capital Group, and completed the sale to RISE Properties Trust.

Ira Virden

TownCenter Park comprises one-, two- and three-bedroom units ranging from 802 to 1,350 square feet.

 

The seller completed significant exterior improvements during their five-year ownership including new siding, roofs and windows.

 

Interior renovations to 40 units included upgrading vinyl plank flooring and carpet, stainless steel appliances, laminate countertops, white shaker cabinetry and hardware, upgraded lighting, new decks and two-inch faux wood blinds.

The property is located at 29250 Southwest Parkway Ct. in Wilsonville, a suburban neighborhood along the banks of the Willamette River.

Frank Solorzano

TownCenter Park is situated along Interstate 5, offering a 30-minute commute to both Salem and downtown Portland, the state’s two largest economic hubs with over 350,000 jobs combined.

 

Additionally, the community is 1.5 miles from the WES Commuter light rail station, which runs north along Interstate 5, connecting Wilsonville with other public transit lines such as MAX light rail in Beaverton.

 

The JLL Capital Markets Investment Sales Advisory team representing the seller was led by Senior Managing Director Ira Virden, Senior Director Carrie Kahn and Associate Frank Solorzano.

 

“The combination of a proven value-add program, lack of new multi-housing development within Wilsonville and the extensive capital improvements completed by the seller make TownCenter Park a strong addition to RISE Properties Trust’s portfolio,” Kahn said.

“Our team was thrilled to represent Curtis Capital Group on this transaction, which was one of the first value-add opportunities marketed in the Portland MSA in early 2021.”
