Marcus & Millichap Says Condo Deconversion Not Dead In Chicago

Kyle Stengle, senior vice president of investments in the Chicago Downtown office ofTaylor Johnson client Marcus & Millichap, is among the local brokers with experience in navigating these often-complex transactions. Together with his team, he has brokered more than 10 deconversions , most recently the $4.6 million sale of 4072 N. Sheridan Road , a 16-unit multifamily building in Chicago’s Buena Park. In promoting the closing, Taylor Johnson worked with Marcus & Millichap to offer commentary on the broader market, securing coverage in GlobeSt.com,RE Journals, Connect Chicago, Multihousing Pro,Multifamily Press and Multifamily Biz.
