It also boasts eight parking spaces in the back of the building. With close proximity to grocery, parks, transportation, dining and retail options, residents are ideally situated to enjoy the convenience and diversity of the community.

Becovic, a Chicago-based multifamily owner and operator, continues to invest in Chicago’s Rogers Park neighborhood. The company recently bought a property that includes an indoor parking garage with a 3,000 square foot commercial space on the ground floor. Located at 1419 W. Howard, Becovic Realty represented the buyer and Friedman Real Estate represented the seller in the $1,700,000 deal.

 

“Parking is in very high demand for our residents and the community,” said Becovic President Sal Becovic. “We will keep the property as-is and find a commercial tenant that will add value and diversity to Howard Street.”

 

The indoor parking garage has more than 150 parking spaces spread across a six-deck, five-floor garage. The commercial space – a 3,000 sqft offering – is well-positioned in the community and promises potential businesses significant opportunities. However, Becovic is focused on bringing the right tenant into the space. 

 

“As a family-owned company, we believe in supporting the richness of neighborhood living. We’re committed to being good stewards of the neighborhoods where our residents live and celebrate the power of community,” said Becovic.

The deal was brokered by Kiser Group’s Advisors Rick Ofman and Danny Logarakis. Kiser Group represented both the seller, The Vranas Family Trust, and Becovic in the transaction.

 

“Investor interest in Rogers Park multifamily continues to rise. We had 38 tours, resulting in multiple competitive offers,” said Ofman. “It’s no surprise that more than 800 multifamily units in the neighborhood have changed hands so far this year.”

 

Originally built in 1974, 6758 N. Sheridan is a 73-unit 4+1 apartment building located on the east side of Chicago’s Rogers Park neighborhood. The building has 29 studio apartments and 44 one-bedroom units.”

 

“For decades, the seller had kept this building well-maintained,” said Logarakis. “When marketing this property, we conducted more than 30 tours and received nine offers.

“We are big believers in Rogers Park,” said Sal Becovic, President at Becovic. “We are excited about the addition of The Sheridan Pratt at 6758 N. Sheridan to our communities and look forward to serving its residents.”
