Jones Lang LaSalle (“JLL”) has been retained on an exclusive basis by the Seller to arrange the sale of a $27.5 Million Non-Performing Office Loan (the “Loan” or “Note”). The Loan is secured by the first priority mortgage on the fee-simple interest in a high-rise office in Chicago, IL (the “Collateral” or “Property”). In June 2024, the Loan became non-performing via a payment default. As of August 2025, the Loan is non-performing with an unpaid principal of $27,503,076.
The Collateral is comprised of a 23-story office building located in the West Loop of Chicago, IL. Constructed in 1927 and renovated in 1993 and 2014, the Property features 271,068 rentable square feet. As of August 2025, the Property is 43.1% leased. Additionally, the Property features 8,965 square feet of retail space on the ground floor and is conveniently located along the Chicago Riverwalk.
The offering presents investors the opportunity to buy a non-performing Loan at a favorable basis, significantly below replacement cost, with a path to ownership through a deed-in-lieu.
