by Kristin Harlow June 1, 2017

CHICAGO — CBRE has brokered the sale of Bel-Harbour in Chicago for $51.5 million. The sale of the 207-unit condominium property is a deconversion to rental units. The 30-story property is located at 420 W. Belmont Ave. in the Lakeview neighborhood. The building features a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom units. Amenities include a heated indoor pool, sun deck and on-site maintenance and management. John Jaeger, Dan Cohen and MJ Zaring of CBRE represented the seller, Bel-Harbour Condo Association. Strategic Properties of North America purchased the property. “This is the largest condo deconversion transaction we have seen in Chicago in a long time,” says Jaeger. “Investors are capitalizing on these opportunities to enter the multifamily market in excellent locations. You can’t build a rental building of this size at this location. As the multifamily market continues to perform at such a high-level, this will be one of the most effective ways investors can bring new rental product to the market.” Under the Condominium Property Act in Illinois, unit owners can elect to sell a condo property if 75 percent or more are in agreement.

by Kristin Harlow June 1, 2017

The pace of retail construction remains brisk in Wichita with national retailers showing an increased interest in the market. In the first quarter, developers started construction on nine buildings totaling 112,961 square feet, reports brokerage firm NAI Martens. Completions during the first quarter totaled 117,300 square feet. Notable store openings included Sprouts Farmers Market at Central Avenue and Rock Road; Save-A-Lot grocery store at 1640 S. Broadway; Cavender’s western wear store in Greenwich Place at K-96 and Greenwich Road; Andy’s Frozen Custard at NewMarket Square along 21st Street; and a freestanding Starbucks at Wichita State University on the school’s innovation campus. In short, developers in Wichita appear to be making up for lost time.

There were some plans on the drawing boards, but nothing really reached fruition,” recalls Thomas Johnson, president of NAI Martens. But consumer confidence gradually began to …
