Asset description

Jones Lang LaSalle (“JLL”) has been retained on an exclusive basis by the Seller, a commercial bank, to arrange the sale of a $7.5 million non-performing first mortgage loan (the “Loan”). The Loan is secured by a first-lien priority fee-simple interest in an assemblage of vacant land located in Chicago, IL (the “Property”).

As of June 2025, the Loan is under foreclosure via maturity default, with an unpaid balance of $7,493,801.

The Property comprises 14,040 SF of vacant land located in the Old Town neighborhood of Chicago. The current zoning allows for a +200-key, approximately 130,00 BSF hotel development. Given the characteristics of the PD, the Property could be rezoned to also include residential use.
