This Week's Chicago Deal Sheet: JLL Sells 28-Story Apartment Tower For $20M Off 2016 Purchase Price

JLL Income Property Trust sold 180 N. Jefferson St., a 28-story apartment community in the West Loop, for $76M to a Chicago-based group of private investors, a $20M discount to its purchase price eight years ago.

180 N. Jefferson St.

The investment arm of JLL sold the 274-unit building to Milbourne Capital LLC, Crain's Chicago Business reported. JLL IPT bought the property for $96.4M in 2016.

“We recently completed a renovation of all 274 units and significantly upgraded the tenant amenities making it a good time to capture those value enhancements through this sale,” JLL IPT President and CEO Allan Swaringen said in a release. “This sale increases our available capital to reinvest in higher yielding properties that we believe will improve future cash flows and point forward returns.”

Residential investments still make up the largest percentage of JLL IPT's $6.6B portfolio, at 42%.

CBRE's John Jaeger, Justin Puppi and Jason Zyck represented JLL.
