🏢 From Setback to Opportunity: The Story of 2928 N Milwaukee Avenue 🏢

In 1998, 2928 N Milwaukee Avenue sold for $390,000, a prime investment at the time. Fast forward to 2024, and this mixed-use building is now in foreclosure, listed at $271,000. This property’s journey highlights the dynamic nature of real estate, where one person's misfortune can become another's opportunity.

While economic shifts and maintenance costs impacted its value, the building still offers significant potential. Located at Milwaukee & Central Park, it includes commercial space, residential units, and ample parking.

This story reminds us that in real estate, as in life, today's setback can be tomorrow's golden opportunity.

Reflecting on an incredible journey: In 1979, I purchased a frame building with a vacant lot for just $24,000. Over the years, I transformed this space, constructing an office for Hansen Realty, three residential units, and adjacent parking.

Today, I'm thrilled to share that in 2024, I sold the building
for $1.4 million and the lot for $600,000. This journey has been a testament to
the power of vision, perseverance, and the dynamic nature of real estate.

Ronald Kenneth Hansen passed away peacefully at home on July 16, 2023. He was born on October 20, 1930. He is preceded in death by his loving wife, Shirley (married 67 years), and his sister, Marlene. He was the loving father of Rick (Mitchelle), Re'Lynn (Doreen), and John (Julie); devoted grandfather to Brian (MacKenzie), Stephen (Camy) and Hailee (Grant); great grandfather to Boden; and uncle, family, and friend to many in the United States and Norway.

He and his wife, Shirley, founded Hansen Realty and The Chicago Real Estate Institute for licensing agents. Ron simply believed in helping others. He served as an MP in Germany during the Korean War. He volunteered with Wrightwood Neighbors and Taste of Lincoln Avenue. He spearheaded many drives for funds, clothing, food, and shelter. He rarely missed a firepit gathering in his Chicago neighborhood of The Villa. A voracious learner, he was taking Norwegian lessons beyond the age of 90.

He spent summers in Lakeside, Michigan where he fed the pond catfish and harvested a bountiful garden (countless tomatoes and radishes) with the extensive help of family and friends. He was a great storyteller, often recounting his trip down the Mississippi by raft. He loved good conversation, good food, and the olives from his wife's martinis.

He proudly wore his Viking hat at Halloween and beyond. Illinois drivers knew him from his "Odin" license plate. He loved playing the horn, especially the two songs he knew well- Happy Birthday and When The Saints Go Marching In.

Donations in memory of Ron can be sent to The Jesse White Foundation,

A celebration of Ron's life will be held on Saturday, September 16, at 11:30, at Minnekirken, Norwegian Lutheran Memorial Church, 2614 N. Kedzie Blvd., Chicago, 60647. Luncheon to follow.
