The portfolio, consisting of 214 units scattered over 20 buildings, is located on Chicago’s south side in various neighborhoods such as Bronzeville, Kenwood, and Southshore. The sponsor, a Chicago based REIT, originally acquired the assets distressed and completed substantial capital improvements to lease-up and stabilize the multifamily buildings. The portfolio includes a mix of market and subsidy tenants and was over 95% occupied at closing.
