CHICAGO, IL - 29th Street Capital (29SC) a privately-held real estate investment and advisory firm, has acquired its second multifamily property in Des Plaines, Illinois. The property, located one-half mile north of downtown Des Plaines at 175 S. River Road, is comprised completely of one bedroom, one bathroom dwelling units. 29SC plans to invest over $15,000 per unit to renovate unit interiors and remodel the property exterior.
“The acquisition of this property on South River Road provides an exciting opportunity to expand our footprint in the Des Plaines market and complement our other holding at 1443 Ashland Avenue, which offers primarily larger two bedroom units,” said Dan Howard, Vice President of Acquisitions for Chicagoland. “With METRA rail nearby and a strengthening downtown, these units, once updated, will prove attractive for residents looking to rent in a quality suburb of Chicago.”
Des Plaines offers residents access to METRA commuter rail, O’Hare International Airport, and two major highways – Interstate 90 and The Tri-State Tollway (I-294.) In addition to being home to several Fortune 500 companies and international employers, Des Plaines hosts a comfortable blend of commercial, financial, industrial, professional, service and retail sector jobs.
The acquisition closed Friday, Sept. 9, 2016. The sale price was not disclosed.
