It doesn't get more "quintessential Chicago" than a center-entrance, and we're thrilled to welcome this gem to the Peak Properties portfolio. We don't know what we love more: the architectural details, the location, or that we now get to manage it. It's always excited to take on more assignments in the neighborhoods we've loved for…

The team recently took a cruise down Chicago's greatest amenity, enjoying the views, the weather, and the company. It's always a treat to step outside of the office, especially when a boat is…

A 41,656 SF site in Logan Square just traded for $4M last week.

On top of his day-to-day responsibilities, Andre recently completed his full slate of ICA certifications — earning credentials across 12 inspection specialties.

Watching new properties come to life is something we love to watch. Last year, Macon Construction Group broke ground on Five Points Lakeview — 52 apartment units, 5,500 SF of retail, and 12 parking spaces — right where all the action happens on Chicago's North Side.

We're excited to continue our expansion across Wicker Park with this instantly recognizable spot right next to the Blue Line. Residents here get the best of the neighborhood — food and shopping on every corner, plus the ultimate convenience: a sweet treat and coffee on the ground floor of their own building. Back in 2023,…

Warning: This image may have adverse side effects on property owners, RE brokers, and property managers alike. We've made it through the thick of leasing season, and anyone in property management (or an adjacent industry) knows exactly what this photo means: sorting keys, matching labels, and somehow figuring out what goes where. It may not…
