OAK PARK, ILL. — Kiser Group has brokered two condo deconversion sales in Oak Park for a total of $12.4 million. Regency Terrace Condominiums, a 56-unit property located at 922 North Blvd., sold for $8.8 million. Andy Friedman and Matt Halper of Kiser represented the seller, The Regency Terrace Condominium Association. Marco Cesario of Kiser represented the buyer, Goldman Investments. “Regency Terrace Condominiums is a prime example of how condo deconversions can be a win-win scenario for all parties involved,” says Friedman. “The property requires substantial and costly physical improvements. This deal saved residents from large special assessments.” Clarence Court, a 26-unit property located at 628 Harrison St., sold for $3.6 million. Friedman and Halper represented the buyer, Redpoint Capital Management, and seller, Clarence Court Condominium Association. “This property fits the most common mold for deconversions. Most of the owners purchased a starter condo in the mid-2000s,” says Friedman. “When the market crashed and was slow to recover, owners had two options instead of selling at depressed pricing. They either became accidental landlords and rented the unit out or were stuck living in the unit. These owners received 25 to 30 percent more in the deconversion than if they would have sold …

2ndMercer-Seattle-WA

SEATTLE — Plymouth Housing has broken ground on an affordable housing development in downtown Seattle. Designed by SMR Architects, the 2nd & Mercer project will deliver 91 permanent housing apartments for adults who have previously experienced homelessness. The project will feature a ground-floor space for Path with Art, a local organization that utilizes art as a means to assist people recovering from homelessness, addiction or other trauma. In addition to operating out of 2nd & Mercer, Path with Art will offer classes and community arts space. The 2nd & Mercer property is slated to open in 2021. Plymouth Housing, a nonprofit developer, received low income tax credits early last year as part of an expansion to the Affordable Housing Tax Credit program. The project closed on financing in December. The City of Seattle is providing major funding for the project, with the city’s Office of Housing and Office of Arts and Culture making a first-time joint investment in an affordable housing and arts space. The site is the second of eight new buildings planned by Plymouth Housing to meet the need for housing for those experiencing chronic homelessness in King County.
