Challenge
In August and October of 2020, Hilco Real Estate (HRE) was retained to manage the court-ordered bankruptcy auctions of two Chicago multifamily portfolios. The first sale (In re: BHF Chicago Housing Group B LLC. 1:20-bk-12453) featured 45 properties totaling 535 units separated into six neighborhood pools and the second sale (In re: BHF Chicago Housing Group C LLC. 20-16567) featured 17 buildings totaling 181 units.
Both sales represented an opportunity for experienced owners/operators to make capital investments in order to bring the units up to City of Chicago and Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) standards, thereby unlocking the value of these properties. With low average occupancy levels throughout the portfolios, there was a significant amount of upside potential through physical updates, occupancy stabilization and leasing efforts. Knowledgeable buyers would be able to work directly with the city to fulfill the need for quality, affordable housing, and deliver revitalized properties to these communities, thus resulting in positive change within Chicago’s South Side.
