The portfolio comprises 319-25 E 79th Street, 7431-47 S King Drive, 7908 S Prairie Avenue, and 8249-59 S Evans Avenue, totaling 81,168 SF across 1.32 acres with 97 residential units and 17 ground-floor retail storefronts. The residential unit mix includes 32 studios, 62 one-bedroom units, and three two-bedroom units, built between 1924 and 1928. Currently 25.77% occupied on the residential side, the portfolio presents significant value-add upside through unit renovations, lease-up, and operational efficiencies across all four assets. Positioned along established South Side commercial corridors near 79th Street, Cottage Grove Avenue, and the Dan Ryan Expressway, the properties benefit from strong neighborhood visibility and a dense surrounding population base exceeding 36,000 residents within one mile.
