Property Description
Essex Three-Twelve, LLC is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire a six-unit
multifamily property located at 4819-21 S Calumet in the heart of Bronzeville, one of
Chicago's most historic and rapidly evolving neighborhoods. Comprised of
exceptionally large apartment layouts, the property features two four-bedroom
units and four five-bedroom units, a unit mix that is increasingly difficult to replicate
in today's development environment and rarely offered for sale.
The asset presents a compelling value-add opportunity through interior renovations
and strategic unit reconfiguration. Given the substantial unit sizes, investors have
the ability to modernize the apartments while potentially adding additional
bathrooms, creating more desirable three-bedroom/two-bathroom and fourbedroom/
two-bathroom layouts that align with current renter preferences. Current
rents remain significantly below market, providing investors with a clear path to
increasing revenue through a targeted renovation program.
At an asking price of $889,900, investors have the opportunity to acquire the asset
at approximately $148,317 per unit. With a projected renovation budget of
approximately $30,000 per unit, the property offers an attractive all-in basis of
roughly $178,317 per unit. The combination of oversized floor plans, below-market
rents, and the potential to improve unit functionality through the addition of
bathrooms creates a compelling value-add opportunity. Following renovations,
investors can reposition the asset to better compete with newer housing stock while
capitalizing on the strong demand for large apartment units throughout Bronzeville
and Chicago's South Side.
