WIN: Adaptively Reused and Landmarked, Stewart School Lofts Sells For Big Profit (Chicago 7 2014)

“More development news to share this morning, as Stewart School Lofts has been sold to a developer for $23 million, a premium of $7 million factoring in sale and rehabilitation costs.

“Longtime readers will recall that Stewart’s attendance had dwindled to less than 20 students per grade and was closed in a systemwide consolidation in 2013.

“Morningside, the previous owner, bought the landmarked building from Chicago Public Schools in 2016 for $5.1 million and then invested $11.6 million to rehab the building into residential units.

“The article discloses that the sale, at $363,000 per unit, is the highest per-unit multifamily sale in Chicago so far in 2022, higher on a per unit basis than a multi-unit sale at Astoria Tower earlier this year.” (Uptown Update, 5/3/22)
