Congratulations to the suburban team & lead broker Derek Kaptanoglu on another successful closing! 14419 S. Halsted Street just sold for $2,875,000. Essex represented both buyer & seller.

"This was a particularly unique deal due to the nature of the property; this is a 55+ active senior apartment building. There aren't many active senior apartment complexes operating as such, with free-market rentals," said Kaptanoglu. "Key selling points for this building was the non-existent vacancy rate, large number of long term tenants, and the waitlist of prospective tenants looking to move-in."
