6254 N. Whipple Street
The 16-unit vintage apartment building, located in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood, traded for $196,875 per unit.

Interra Realty, a Chicago-based commercial real estate investment services firm, announced it brokered the $3.15 million sale of 6254 N. Whipple Street.

Interra Senior Managing Partner Brad Feldman represented the buyer, a Chicago-based private investor. Feldman also represented the seller, a local private investor. The building was fully occupied at the time of sale.

“This deal is indicative of buyers finding value in the market while also obtaining a strong price for the seller,” said Feldman. “What began as a value-add acquisition two years ago has evolved into a compelling redevelopment story, drawing nearly 20 showings and five written offers for what is now a turnkey property.”

Constructed in 1931 and renovated in 2023, the Whipple Street building features 16 two-bedroom apartments. Property improvements include new plumbing and electric systems and complete overhauls of apartment interiors with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and in-unit laundry.

Feldman assisted the seller in their original $1.8 million acquisition of the property in 2023. At the time, the building had not changed hands in more than 50 years and needed significant upgrades. The seller’s investment equated to a nearly $85,000 increase in price per unit and increased rents.

This sale marks the latest in a series of Interra-brokered transactions on Chicago’s North Side totaling over $76 million so far in 2025. These include the $7.325 million sale of 611-13 W. Arlington Place, the $5.7 million sale of 567-69 W. Arlington Place, the $10.7 million sale of 811 W. Lill Ave., the $10.8 million sale of a West Ridge portfolio, the $9.625 million sale of 6930 N.

Christiana Ave. and the $16.1 million sale of a Rogers Park portfolio.
