Brook on Janes adds to the firm’s Chicago-area portfolio, which includes the 504-unit Residences at Lakeside in Lombard and the 838-unit The Residences at Arlington Heights in Arlington Heights.
“We’re finally seeing seller capitulation on pricing expectations, which has allowed us to significantly ramp up our acquisition activity,” JRK President Daniel Lippman said in a statement to Crain's Chicago Business.
Quarterra constructed the complex in 2017 and financed the development with a $29.7M loan. The three-story community is about 97% occupied, Crain's reported.
JLL's Kevin Girard, Roberto Casas and Matt Lawton represented the undisclosed seller.
