CHICAGO — Kiser Group has brokered the sales of three fully occupied multifamily properties in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood for a total of $10.4 million. The buildings, all constructed in 2016, consist of large two- and three-bedroom units with ground-floor commercial space. All are predominately occupied by students and are situated near Loyola University. The assets were originally listed as a portfolio sale, but Kiser decided to split the buildings for individual sale, citing the rise in interest rates at the time of launch. All three buildings sold to new entrants in the market — a doctor from Columbus, a 1031 exchange buyer from the northwest suburbs and a local retail investor purchasing its first mixed-use property. Andy Friedman and Jake Parker of Kiser brokered the sales.

This performance is especially noteworthy as it surpasses several popular Sun Belt markets, which have experienced declines, dipping into negative territory. The outlook for 2025 appears more balanced, with new supply moderating to approximately 3,500 units from 2024’s record-breaking 6,500+ deliveries. This timing aligns well with the market’s strong population growth, as Indianapolis expects to welcome 22,200 new residents in 2025, significantly exceeding the historical average of 12,800 annual net movers. Key factors of the population’s growth are due to the presence of reputable universities and colleges, such as Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI).
