Kiser Group Negotiates $7.2M Condo Deconversion Sale in Chicago’s Lakeview Neighborhood

by Kristin Harlow March 28, 2024

CHICAGO — Kiser Group has negotiated a $7.2 million condo deconversion sale in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood. Originally listed for sale in 2021 by the condominium association’s property manager, the 41-unit property went in and out of contract for two years. Andy Friedman and Jake Parker of Kiser represented the buyer, Langdon Partners, which plans to fully renovate the building. “Condominium buildings with a high percentage of investor-owned units, such as 505 Melrose, reach a point where owners are no longer able to properly maintain a building and a deconversion sale is an excellent solution,” says Friedman. Under the Condominium Property Act in Illinois, condo unit owners can elect to sell a property if 75 percent or more are in agreement. The threshold is 85 percent for the City of Chicago. Sellers then have the option to either move out of their units or lease them back from the new owner.

Affordable Housing Crisis Prompts Search for Answers from Local, State and Federal Governments

by Jeff Shaw March 28, 2024

One step forward, one step back could easily be the motto for affordable housing development this year. Experts are hopeful a more stable interest rate environment will bolster transaction activity in 2024. At the same time, rising insurance costs, supply-chain hiccups and property staffing issues are forcing developers and investors to proceed with caution in the affordable housing sector. The one-step-forward theme also applies to the legislative arena. The Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act of 2024 contained Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) provisions that would have incentivized developers to build more housing for extremely low-income renters. The act passed the U.S. House of Representatives in late January and is headed to the Senate, though the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC) reports that the major reforms to LIHTC were left out of the bill. These speedbumps aren’t mere bureaucratic headaches. Some experts say they stand in the way of keeping many Americans safe and secure. According to NLIHC, the United States is short 7.3 million rental homes that are affordable and available to renters with extremely low incomes, which is defined as either the federal poverty guideline or 30 percent of their area median income (AMI), whichever …
