JLL Capital Markets announced that it has closed the sale of City View at the Highlands, a 403-unit, luxury, value-add, mid-rise apartment building located in the Chicago suburb of Lombard, Illinois.
JLL represented the sellers, a joint venture between Marquette Companies and an Institutional Partner. Torchlight Investors, LLC acquired the asset. The Hayman Company will provide leasing and property management services.
With an average of 902 square feet, the renovated units of the seven-story City View at the Highlands offer quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, wide plank flooring, nine-foot ceilings, full-size washers and dryers and patios or balconies. Recently upgraded community amenities include a swimming pool and sundeck, outdoor grilling area, two outdoor lounge spaces with fire pits, a 24-hour fitness center, a yoga studio, a community kitchen, a tech and business center and a conference room.
Situated at 2720 S. Highland Avenue and spanning five acres, the transit-oriented City View at the Highlands is adjacent to Butterfield Road and two major expressways, I-88 and I-355, leading to both of Chicago’s international airports, the Chicago CBD, the surrounding suburbs’ area amenities and top employment centers. The suburban location provides proximity to numerous retail options at Oakbrook Center and is walkable to Yorktown Center. Additionally, the community’s location in DuPage County offers access to top healthcare options such as Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage, Advocate Good Samaritan and Edward Hospital, as well as a number of college campuses.
The JLL Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Senior Director Kevin Girard, Senior Managing Director Marty O’Connell and Executive Managing Director Matthew Lawton.
“We were ecstatic to work with longtime clients of the firm and personal friends on this very successful transaction of a quality asset in a dynamic suburban location,” Girard said.
