The 1156 W Cornelia property is steps from Wrigley Field, making it a strong draw for young renters in search of access to transportation, hospitality and entertainment.
We de-converted the 15-unit condominium building to apartments. We duplexed down the first floor apartments, incorporating unused basement space into revenue-generating bedrooms and bathrooms. In all, we added 7 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The large rear courtyard was fully landscaped to provide an attractive outdoor area for tenants.
Cornelia, similar to other JAB properties, was sourced off market through direct contact with condo ownership and the association. Our ability to close quickly and with certainty allowed us to acquire an asset that would seldom come to market.
