December 2022 Newsletter

Big Energy Holiday Newsletter Some years, companies give out gift baskets for the holidays. Other years, its the good and trusted greeting card. For CP, one thing we have consistently done each year is this newsletter. For those who are just joining us, please click here for an archive of all previous newsletters.  Closing out 2022 has been a whirlwind in itself with two massive closings within the same month. The first being 815 W. Armitage for our highest dollar per square foot leased to date and the second with 5041 N. Western for our largest square footage lease deal on CP's books. Both to national tenants! Not to mention the epic hiking trip we had coincidentally planned for the W trek in Patagonia, Chile soon after. Actually, this all occurred within 10 days of each other - talk about big energy. Kris and I in the French Valley. Torres Del Paine CP is all about that momentum rolling into 2023. We planned well and underwent a Cost Segregation Analysis on our new home/investment property that we purchased in May. Now we can decrease the tax burden on the growth we realized this year, and most importantly, realize the full benefit when there is sill 100% bonus depreciation. Note: this amount will drop each subsequent year by 20%, until bonus depreciation sunsets in 2027 (unless Congress acts to extend it). Please email Kris@coordinateproperties.com with your questions on all matters tax. One of the above deals was actually for the retail storefront below our offices. It was previously occupied for 35 years by a clothing consignment shop. We welcome the fresh feeling of change, a new build out, and another stop that shoppers will have when they visit the Armitage/Halsted corridor. Frankly we are flattered by the unprecedented amount of offers submitted to lease the space - more than we have ever experienced on a listing. We feel lucky to be here! Other New Additions to 815 W Armitage Photo of new light-box sign before it is installed in the front courtyard. We wanted to upgrade our existing blade sign by adding a descriptive caption in case pedestrians were wondering what the business on the second floor was. Plus it is a nice tie in to all the other businesses on the block! Photo of new bench in our front courtyard and a close up of the plaque in memoriam of our OG client who left us 2 years ago. We would not be at this location if it were not for Dr. Stamelos and his intuition which led him to buy this property at a time when people steered clear of this corner and neighborhood.

October 2022 Newsletter

A Bit of Spook and Horror Here Did you know that our parameters do not just lie within the Chicagoland area? We work with clients across the country and even across the world. Given our love for travel, there is nothing that Kris loves more than a reason to classify an expense as tax deductible. Such as last spring, when I had the pleasure of visiting Mariane Ibrahim's gallery in Paris.  Anyhoo, back to the spooky stuff. I met Ryan and Chloe over two and half years ago when they were visiting Chicago to find a second location for their oddity museum and retail shop. Naturally on brand, Ryan was looking for something niche and specific. The right place had to find him, not the other way around. We traveled to Savannah to understand the Graveface feel and habitat. R&D if you will. It also took several trips to Chicago, failed lease negotiations, and an instance of cold feet before the perfect location plopped in front of our eyes. Before moving to the south, Ryan started his career in Chicago, running an event space out of the 1900 block of North Milwaukee Ave. He really wanted to land in that vicinity, ideally that street. Then when a car boot company moved out of their retail storefront office located at 1829 N. Milwaukee after 16 years, we knew exactly who to summon to the space before turning it to the market. What was the medium we used? Craiglist... Graveface Chicago  Graveface Records & Curiosities Chicago is a multifaceted shop with several distinct areas of interest covered within its walls. Graveface started as an artist-driven record label in 2002 and has since expanded into several other areas of niche interest that can be experienced as a retail store front in Savannah, GA (est. 2011) and now in Chicago. Graveface Chicago carries a hyper-curated selection of new and used vinyl, vintage collectables, curiosities, occult books, and more. There's also dedicated section for the NeverNotGoth imprint of Graveface which offers goth decor, accessories, apparel, and a selection of vinyl records that fit under the goth umbrella.   Beyond these two sections there's a mini horror shop, oddities museum, and fully functional video rental shop.  Terror Vision started as a record label in 2012 focusing on releasing obscure soundtracks of horror/oddball movies lost to time and has since expanded into a blu-ray releasing company.  The Terror Vision room covers all things horror from collectible action figures, decor, signed posters, original one-sheets, blu-rays/DVDs/VHS, and more.  The museum portion of Graveface explores the human condition and unusual parts of recent history ranging from sideshow history, cults, natural history/anomalies, and death row art and the criminal mind. The Graveface Museum is home to an archive of thousands of artifacts and documents from these topics which are curated into rotating exhibits throughout the museum portion of Graveface. Graveface and Odd Obsession Movies are proud to bring back video rentals to this neighborhood. After 20 years in business Odd Obsession closed their doors in 2020; Graveface Chicago now houses their video archive and offers a full video rental service, curated to lean heavy on horror, sci-fi, oddball, independent/obscure cinema.

September 2022 Newsletter

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

Back to Our "Regularly" Scheduled Programing Okay, so, writing consistent engaging newsletters every month is not easy. When I told myself that I would take a creative break from writing them, I did not realize a full quarter would fly by before I was ready to wrap up my reprieve. Now that the transaction frenzied period that started in 2020 has slowed down, perhaps spacing these out to once a quarter would be more prudent. I may be humble bragging about a time that I was closing enough transactions to be featuring one on every newsletter that I have been disseminating. However I am feeling like it is time to slow my roll. How about I just go with flow? A real estate lifeline, consists a mixture of holding patterns, roadblocks, a sprint of "hurry up and wait," but really, mostly delays. For instance, when my existing clients, The Hive, asked me to help them find their second set of studio locations for their expansion, we toured a location eight months before we even asked the listing agent (hat tip to Noah!) to join in on the dance (pun intended) of negotiating a proposal. It was followed by a lengthy due diligence period that lasted for another six months before a lease was executed. If over a year of anticipation was not enough, there were some recent natural disasters insert *September 11th Supercell Storm* which delayed the planned build out of their studios. If there is one common theme that bonded me with Jeff and Seth during this period, it was our consistent and dependable check-ins which provided comfort in an undertaking worth waiting for. Come Visit their new location at 4222 N. Ravenswood Ave A NEW Dance Studio for KIDZ is coming to Ravenswood! Seth Robinson & Jeff Wolfe, Owners of The Hive, a dance studio for adults located at 4706 N. Ravenswood Ave, are expanding their nationally recognized youth dance program, THE COLONY.  The new space, DANCE COLONY Studios, will be opening at 4222 N. Ravenswood Ave. This state of the art facility will include 3 studios (including professionally sprung dance flooring), a lobby, offices, changing rooms, hangout area for dancers, a kitchenette, ample free parking, and more!  THE COLONY (Instagram) is currently home to over 30 artists from around the Chicagoland area and 7 different states across the country. This high caliber training focused program provides guidance for young and upcoming artists. THE COLONY is best known for celebrating the individuality of its members while giving countless opportunities to expand on their craft. With the new expanded studio space DANCE COLONY will be offering intro and recreational dance classes for youth dancers. Starting Sept. 6, 2022: DANCE COLONY will begin offering youth recreational classes (COLONY Kidz) for dancers ages 3+ in a variety of styles and techniques. The COLONY Kidz program will offer classes weekly for four separate levels: Pre-K (ages 3-5)  Mini (ages 6-8)  Junior (ages 8-12)  Teen (ages 13+)  The Modified Schedule will take place at 4706 N. Ravenswood Ave. until the construction of the new space is complete. For more info on dance training available, visit www.thecolony.dance Email: Buzz@thecolony.dance  Phone: 312-505-1880 FEATURED LISTINGS   Across the Street from the only factory building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Carroll is four miles west of the Chicago Loop, near train transportation, and is proximate to interstate highways headed in all directions. This industrial location has historically attracted builders, developers and artisans. The building has two distinct independent spaces available for lease, which allow completely different uses of the neighboring industrial spaces.   The first of the two is an impeccably maintained food facility (black iron is not installed, however it IS possible). Equipped with a washer/dryer, walk in cooler, hand sinks, and multiple three compartment sinks - it is fully compliant with health codes and eligible for a food manufacturing license with the City of Chicago. Its designated two drive in doors are key for delivery loading and unloading. This unit is flooded with plenty of natural light from multiple sky lights throughout. There is a studio apartment available for lease separately from warehouse/commissary space.   3026 W Carroll Chicago, IL 60612 3030 W. Carroll Ave Chicago, IL 60612 The other space comes with ample storage and organization methods, ideal for building an inventory of pretty much anything. Not to mention, it is also equipped with a drive in door and potential for a live/work opportunity. Proximity to Fulton Market is what attracts people to this location. Most indicative of this building's potential can be seen at the multimillion dollar rehab of the building right next door, the Wildman Boiler and Tank building. Industrial chic designs popping up in this corridor that attract discerning patronage, will benefit any future occupant of Carroll. Whether you are a designer, builder, or visionary like Frank Lloyd Wright, this location holds tremendous promise. The historical revitalization of this area has been so significant that it should not go unnoticed.  Hello autumn, we have been waiting for you!   info@coordinateproperties.com (847) 409-4900 © Coordinate Properties 2022 ¦ All Rights Reserved by Coordinate Properties Coordinate Properties is a licensed real estate broker and abides by Equal Housing Opportunity laws.

May 2022 Newsletter

Three Unit Greystone on the Boulevard  We Just Closed! After several months of searching, 10 offers submitted, and under contract three different times, at last, Kris and I closed on our first investment property! Given the market temperature, our reasonably confident offers did not compare to the 10s, 50s, and 100 thousands over the listing price. We believe in the virtue of thrift, and a crucial element of thrift is, one must hunt in order to find a good deal.  Growing frustrated with offers going amiss, we were beginning to think we must offer more than the list price to land a building. Such a delusional practice is the new reality during this particular turn in the cycle - a seller's market. Interest levels were at an all time low, and the inventory was even lower. Time passed as our patience ran thin. Not to mention, interest rates are rising! We have gone through enough product during our hunt to know a quality asset. So what did we do when we came across the latest place we liked? We gave an "as is," over asking offer with a 24 time limit in order to avoid the "best and final" dance we have grown accustomed to. And that my friends, is how we successfully fell into the stereotype of the 2022 real estate owners club! Crossroads Speech Therapy is excited to be one of Coordinate Properties' clients! Crossroads Speech Therapy has been in business since 2016 and this is our first storefront, so we are very excited. This location will have 4 speech therapy rooms and an occupational therapy sensory gym. We provide high-quality speech and language therapy and occupational therapy to children and adults in Chicago and the surrounding western, northern, and North Shore suburbs. Our therapists are experienced, dedicated, and passionate about helping their clients achieve their full potential. We are goal-driven and cater sessions to each individual. Each Crossroads therapist makes sessions fun, engaging, and effective. We use evidence-based practice treatment approaches. At Crossroads, we recognize that communication, caregiver and parent training, and collaboration with other professions are extremely important. We value that important communication and it is part of our core values. The Crossroads team is comprised of a talented group, including many mothers themselves, our team’s experience spans all speech and language pathology and occupational therapy specialties.  Come Visit their new location at 1235 W. Belmont Ave Floor 2 940 W Cuyler, Chicago, IL 60613 Live in a historic oasis in the middle of a modern city! Here you will find no shortage of woodwork, moldings, trim, original built-ins, and ornate and opulent details - all meticulously and fabulously restored. The unit is oversized with plenty of variety in living spaces. Highlights of the property include a beautifully wallpapered sunroom. The kitchen is renovated with an oversized Viking stove and a separate butler's pantry. Both full bathrooms are newly updated. The ceiling height is 10' and the building is equipped with a boiler and space pak. The property sits just north of the border of Irving Park and Lakeview. The charming terraced back patio space leads to a gorgeous backyard with many areas for relaxation and entertainment. In addition, the backyard is beautifully landscaped with a small pond, birch tree, pergola with wisteria, boxwood, and a 40' pear tree. There is an attached 2 car garage. The lot is extra-wide and deep - 50' x 132.20' x 55.15' x 155.85'  Available now for lease on a short or long-term basis! Check out the full listing here A Blurb from Broker Aaron Spiro   Today’s interest rates are sitting at 5.51%, a significant increase from just a few months ago. Over the last week, we consulted with industry leaders from various investment firms across the United States. There is a consensus on upcoming financial trends.   The first is that everyone is setting aside a pile of cash for opportunistic purchases that may come down the pipeline. We expect that with rising interest rates, there will come a small decline in prices (nationally). The big question is, when will we see a decline, and how significant of a market adjustment will this be?   In Chicago, we are lucky that our city has a low beta as compared to the market average. As the market moves up and down, we tend to pace a little slower. This leads to slightly modest returns, but significantly more stability as compared to emerging cities.   As you consider your next purchase, I encourage you to forecast your interest rate higher than that day's average. That way, you are giving yourself padding to ensure your investment is sound. If you're interested in real estate investing in Chicago, check out ThroughlineCapital.com to join our investor cohort today.

April 2022 Newsletter

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

All Photos in this newsletter were taken by Kristen Mendiola at an Entre Suenos event on 2.24.22 In Between Dreams   Flexible. If there is one things that all of us in Chicago share, is being flexible with the weather. We find ourselves in April and it is still a gamble whether the precipitation outside is a rain shower, wintery mix, or straight up snow fall. We spend the entire spring waiting for it to be spring. Then we experience it for about a day, before diving straight into a summer inferno. As the weather is starting to break, I wanted to take a look back on a snowy night in February when I experienced Stephen Sandoval's concept, Entre Suenos, which translates to "in between dreams."  The greatest tribute a chef could ever pay to cuisine is authenticity. Chef Stephen Sandoval elevates your palate by tapping into the culture of cuisine which is Baja Mexican tradition. Not only do you get to sample delicious food, but you hear directly from the Chef exactly from where and how he drew inspiration for each dish. At his ticketed events, you are seated at a large communal table, which lends itself to making new connections outside those you attended the event with. I can personally attest that I consistently talk to someone that I met at one of Stephen's dinners! Furthermore, it was through Stephen that Kris and I met the president of the Illinois Women's Bar Association and now Kris does their accounting. However I digress, how does this all tie back to being flexible? I met Stephen last October when he viewed a space I was marketing for a building owner. He was looking to open his own brick and mortar version of his existing concept. Along the process I met his family and Rick Bayless, which are his advisors and supporters, that will help facilitate the multi-hundred-thousand dollar project that building out the kitchen and front of house would be. I believed in Stephen's concept so much, that after a standstill in negotiations, which were going on for months, I terminated my representation with the Landlord, and told Stephen that I would represent him in his search for a place instead. I pivoted clients, buildings, and all that comes with it. It is all about maintaining flexibility while juggling the uncertainty of the practice of real estate. Fast forward to present day, we still have not secured a location, but in the spirit of being flexible we tabled the search while Stephen starts his new residency at Soho House. Join Stephen Sandoval as he launches a 6 month concept...  “Sueños” at SOHO House Planned launch is April 20th   Management  Chef – Stephen Sandoval  General Manager – Oscar Sotelo Mixologist – Danielle Lewis  Concept  Stephen wants to have fun this summer and test a concept that he has a passion for-- as a San Diego native he has always had a dream to open a Baja inspired mariscos concept.   The motto is “Borderless Baja Cuisine”, referring to his favorite street offerings on both sides of the border between San Diego and Tijuana.  The food menu will feature a wide variety of seafood offerings, including raw oysters, tostadas, fish tacos and octopus.   Though casual by nature the dishes will be presented in a slightly elevated manner showcasing high quality product and preparation.  The beverage program will contain a variety of Mezcal cocktails and various Mexican beers.  The atmosphere will be hip, energetic, yet casual. On Sundays he will expand the lunch menu to offer a variety of Mexican breakfast offerings inspired by his late grandmother.  Stephen will also invite local performing artists and DJs to bring an upbeat mood to the service. As the first recipient of the SOHO Chance in North America, it is not a bad place for Stephen to land in between locations while learning how to further develop and define a sustainable restaurant in this new era of dining. We are actively looking for a "permanent" location for him in West Town and the surrounding area, please reach out to me if you have a space in mind. In between plans and dreams of your own? We would love to hear about them.   info@coordinateproperties.com (847) 409-4900 © Coordinate Properties 2021 ¦ All Rights Reserved by Coordinate Properties Coordinate Properties is a licensed real estate broker and abides by Equal Housing Opportunity laws.

Hitting the Market   A brokerage is nothing without its members. At Coordinate Properties, our team lists properties of all types and sizes. We are even making a foray into land entitlements, more about that later though. When Coordinate Properties started, its owners always knew it would be a boutique real estate firm, but they never wanted to silo themselves into one class of asset. One can be an expert, all one needs is experience. The residential arm of the company started when friends and family came chirping, "Hey, you are in real estate, right? I need help to [buy] or [sell] my house!" Whether it is commercial or residential, a deal is a deal after all. Without further ado here are some listings from our CP brokers along with further commentary by me, their managing broker, on how awesome they are. 1335 Dodge Ave in Evanston by Aaron Spiro Here's the bad news first. Unfortunately this listing is already under contract after being listed for only a couple of weeks. Not too shabby for Aaron's very first commercial listing. And only because I want to imagine Aaron flashing his million dollar smile as he reads this, his completely rehabbed + furnished short term rental was so BEYOND that he was able to rent it to the same individual for three full years at short term rates! Further proof that you get the best of all worlds here at CP. In case it lends itself to be available again, please find the listing below:     _________________________________ Stable income at a potential 7.6% cap rate! This updated two-story office space features two units (potential to subdivide into three). The first unit boasts approximately 4,300 sqft across two floors and has been rented to the same tenant since 2010. The second unit is approximately 1,000 sqft and ready for your next tenant. The unit has been impeccably kept up to date with updated tuckpointing, roofing, furnaces, electrical, and plumbing. Don't miss out on this headache-free cash cow today! The property has had significant updates over the years and is turn-key. Great opportunity to lease the remaining unit for cash flow. Tenant has approximately $27,000 in additional improvements planned for 2022. Currently, the main tenant is on lease until September 30, 2024, with the option to renew. Tenant is a federally backed non-profit and has not missed a payment during their 10+ year occupancy.   Get in Touch with Aaron 811 W. 15th Pl, Unit 709 in Chicago by Isabel Morales When Isabel isn't practicing real estate, she is a full time super-mom. If that doesn't sound impressive enough, she is fluent in Spanish and can conduct business in dual languages. Her uber smart and bilingual 7 year old is not only a chess-master, but a skillful footballer,  "aka soccer," aspiring to be the next Messi (or the Spanish equivalent). Want to live in the condo where greatness in the making was raised? Check out her listing below: _____________________________ Welcome Home!

The Thrill of an Unexpected Outcome  A career in real estate is not for the faint of heart. Each day leading to the next is a ride in the unforeseen. As a broker, we are often times  merely a passenger in our clients’ broadcast of the world. There are awful days, and there are unbeatable days. Each day, however, is always a reminder to not be certain of a visualized  result, or a planned sentiment, and to always take each instance as a lesson.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year As winter sets in and the spirited season is in full effect, we have been busier than ever. Kris clinched an accounting contract with the Woman's Bar Association of Illinois due to CP's status as a Woman Owned Business Enterprise (yes you can hire us to do your bookkeeping!). Our team member Mia Scornavacco closed not one, but two big deals to declare as her personal "firsts". She had the pleasure of representing her family when she sold her childhood home, and also represented them as buyers for a new house waiting to be filled with new memories -  just in time for the holidays. She had to be a bit creative in order to find a suitable property (which was off-market) in a competitive arena, and line up the closing dates perfectly. We are certainly proud of her! Our other team member Aaron Spiro is actively rehabbing a property in Berwyn. This 1904 structure holds one-of-a-kind features that he is preserving. Under the carpet was the original hardwood which has been restored. New bathrooms, kitchens, and A/C make it modern and functional for the new person to take it over. Aaron is about one month into the project and has about 3 weeks remaining until completion. Photos represent the original state on the left, and mid-rehab on the right. Amanda helped Aaron outfit the home with second hand furniture from a treasure trove of a warehouse called A World Through Rose Colored Glasses.  If you are looking to invest in projects such as this, or have a dated home you’d like a cash offer for, consider reaching out to Aaron directly.  Each month we're thankful for our new clients who give us different opportunities in which we can learn and grow. We have found success in our ability to explore the countless ways to turn a vacant space today into one that thrives tomorrow. Every new business and real estate decision impacts the future of Chicago's growth, and we are fortunate to be a part of it.  Sheila is a best-selling and internationally known author, personality expert, passionate educator, and professional speaker. She has appeared on and been interviewed by TV and radio stations, magazines, and newspapers in the US and internationally. Today’s Chicago Woman newspaper selected her as one of “100 Women Making a Difference.” Sheila’s innovative programs and books have won her praise in conference rooms and classrooms in the U.S. and around the world. Encouraging adults and children to recognize and respect the best in themselves and others is the essence of her workshops and books. For more information about Sheila’s books, programs and to find out your brain color visit:   www.sheilaglazov.com When your relatives come home for a holiday or a special occasion, do you sometimes struggle to find a common ground? You can enjoy your relatives and those celebrations with less stress, the appropriate gifts, and more time for fun if you understand the Brain Colors of everyone involved, including your own. The following Brain Color Hassle-Free Holiday chart is a gift to you and your family. Down the left side you will see a list of activities, traditions, and emotions associated with the holidays.

Inspired by the 16th century Christkindlesmarkt in Nuremberg, Germany, one of the first outdoor markets of its kind, the Christkindlmarket is well-known for its vendors’ high quality gifts and food, holiday cheer, and for being the ideal place for families to make unique memories. The Christkindlmarket Chicago was first conceptualized in 1995 when The German American Chamber of Commerce of the Midwest Inc. (GACC Midwest) was seeking alternative ways to promote bilateral trade between the USA and Germany. Peter Flatzek, former Vice President of GACC Midwest, and Ray Lotter, then Manager of Commercial Services for GACC Midwest, initiated the partnership with city officials of Nuremberg, Germany. Mr. Lotter invited companies from Germany and the Chicago area to participate in the first Christkindlmarket Chicago in 1996. The market was an instant success and continues to flourish through the work of GACC Midwest’s subsidiary, German American Events, LLC. The inaugural event took place on Pioneer Court in 1996 for the first time. By special invitation of former Mayor Richard M. Daley, the Christkindlmarket Chicago moved to Daley Plaza in 1997 and has become a staple event on the plaza ever since. With the support of the City of Chicago and their Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE), the Christkindlmarket Chicago has grown to become one of the most popular winter attractions for locals and tourists alike.

September 2021 Newsletter

Hello, World!

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

Fresh for Tomorrow Recently, the Earth experienced the astrological phenomena commonly known as a blue moon.  A blue moon refers to the second occurrence of a full moon in a single lunar cycle and symbolizes something that happens very rarely, but can still be experienced several times during a life. Astrologists say that this particular blue moon will be one that infuses one's inner world with a desire for individuality and rebellion, as well as a concern for the world at large. This blue moon could result in powerful changes and revelations ahead - so stay tuned! Like a blue moon, oftentimes in life we find ourselves revisiting the paths that have brought us to the here and now. It is not uncommon to cross paths again with people, places, and things from our past. Heraclitus said "no man ever steps in the same river twice, for it is not the same river and he is not the same man." The same can certainly be said for buildings as well.  In my previous years, when finding a place to go out on Saturday night was a must, I often found myself headed to Danny's Tavern in Bucktown. It was always a good atmosphere, fun crowd, and (most importantly) the music was consistently great. Danny's reputation made it a household name in Chicago nightlife and naturally many mourned its closure in late 2020. Now as the listing agent for the property it operated in, I find myself involved in determining the fate of the building. Will it be sold to a developer just to be knocked down for new construction? Will a new operator take their shot at building a local legacy? The culmination of market demands, economic climate, and alderman prerogative all play a role on how a property can evolve through its lifecycle. Just as each building's location is unique, so is its story, which one day could become a legend.   Listing of the Month 1951 W Dickens Ave, Chicago, IL 60614 AVAILABLE FOR SALE OR LEASE. It has been long rumored that the "Old Fashioned" cocktail recipe was perfected with Bourbon in a Bucktown speakeasy during the prohibition. A neighborhood known as a destination for craft, Bucktown has attracted talent from its earliest settlers to the artists in residence today, which is most evident in its architecture. This property is an authentic example of architectural eclecticism in all of Chicago. Located in a primarily residential neighborhood with a mix of older single-family homes, new builds, and converted industrial loft spaces. When zoning rules were changed due to prohibition era intolerance for alcohol, restrictions were created to restrict "mid-block" taverns on residential blocks. Very, very few "mid-block" taverns predating current zoning restrictions still survive, although 1951 W Dickens Avenue is one of them. The location is primarily accessible from Damen which boasts an average daily traffic count of 22,100 vehicles. Damen Avenue acts as the epicenter of shopping and dining in Bucktown, owing to accessibility of the Kennedy Expressway. Despite the tremendous vehicle traffic in the vicinity of this location, million-dollar single family residences have been erected on both sides of 1951 W Dickens. This location is unique. The "Schlitz on Tap" sign that once hung on the front of the property facing traffic on Damen, now missing, was a glowing red beacon to residents walking along Damen Avenue. With 61% of Bucktown residential units being renter occupied with a median age of 33 years old, it's widely known as an artsy and late-night hotspot.  The property offers an intimate commercial environment. In addition to the 1400 square feet on the first floor and bonus 890 square feet on the top floor, this space comes with a massive basement for storage or might be converted to a food prep area. The space comes installation ready and provides a rare, unique, and hard to imitate opportunity offering all the ingredients that are required to establish a sustainable competitive advantage in business.

Growth is in the Air I woke up this morning to my monstera deliciosa unfurling a new leaf and it made me reflect on the unexpected but welcomed growth of my team over the past year. Much like watching a plant sprout, with a bit of work and attention, I have also watched Coordinate Properties continue to grow and flourish. This year we have brought on Mia, our newest broker, expanded our portfolio, and have record high occupancy rates for all clients.  Having spent most of the last year with my head down busy with work, this morning caused me to pause and consider the organic growth that we achieved. Coordinate Properties' emphasis on investing in people and relationships, coupled with active gratitude and hard work, have developed the business in new and exciting ways.  Looking forward and setting new goals, including expanding our property owner relationships and developing community recognition as we continue to grow as a business. The funny thing about growing plants, much like our business, is that growth occurs in spurts. When we are caught up in the moment and buried in work, we can fail to appreciate the new life that we have helped foster.  Meet Mariah Fair; an author, blogger, public speaker, avid reader, and mental health advocate. Having struggled with depression basically all her life, her existence changed for the better when she opened a book. Recognizing the wisdom found in books, she decided to share this revelation with the world, beginning with her home town Chicago. Having experienced firsthand the power of a good book and a healthy environment in maintaining her own mental health, she is starting her mental health book lounge, Soul Full Chicago. Soul Full is built to be a place you can come to read, learn, and grow your mind. Fostering an environment aimed at promoting healing and growth, Soul Full invite their patrons to come inside and learn about themselves. Enjoy a cup of coffee, a smoothie, or some home cooked comfort food. Soul Full is a book lounge where souls can come to reflect and connect, exploring their thoughts without feeling held back.    Opening this fall in Pilsen at 1508 w 18th Street -  Come join them for some mutual soul healing! 1235 W Belmont, Chicago, IL 60657 The block at 1200 W. Belmont Ave is heavily residential, supporting a population of 100,547. In the heart of the Belmont Theater District, this location rests just west of the signalized intersection of Racine + Belmont. Neighbors of the building include, WHIM Chicago and Theater Wit. WHIM Chicago is a brand new concept of the former Theater 773, which now boasts a self-guided immersive art installation experience. Abutting neighbor, Theater Wit, is a production theater producing premier smart art theater with a contemporary voice. This location has great proximity to Illinois Masonic, Thorek, and Northwestern Out-Patient Clinics. Formally a spa, it is ideal for a tenant requiring space for client consultations such as aestheticians and medical professionals. Zoned M1-2, equipped with a kitchenette, full laundry area, two full bathrooms, and 3 large private separated office areas, the use potentials are endless. Ownership would also entertain work/live options. Meet Mia Mia is a newly licensed Broker. She grew up in the North Suburbs of Chicago and is now focusing on building a business in the city.

Overwhelmed by the Comeback? If real estate memes have taught us anything, we are all aware that it is nearly impossible these days to successively go "under contract" on a home without a cash offer or fully underwritten loan, offering over the asking price, and likely going into the transaction having only viewed the property virtually or "sight unseen". This has become the new norm in the residential real estate world, but what about commercial? Initial thoughts go that it must be hurting right? Think again. In my 11 years as an active real estate broker, I have never experienced situations in the commercial world where landlords and owners are able to make a decision among multiple letters of intent. It has, welcomely so, become my common practice in the past couple months. Buildings that have sat vacant for a year or more are being shown multiple times. Empty storefronts are now being noticeably filled. Commercial businesses are thriving due to increased cash balances in people's bank accounts, and the fed buying bonds which inject trillions into the money supply. However those same businesses are also having trouble finding people that want to come back to work. It is hard not to think that this can all be some sort bubble that is prone to burst? But hey, we are all resilient and prepared for that at this point right?  Made X Hudson is a newly launched small batch, cut-and-sew garment factory in the Hudson Valley. Run by staff with decades of garment industry experience, they are on a mission to produce ethical and sustainable products.

Opening August 7th, the Largest Banksy Exhibit ever Assembled **all in a landmark building built in 1885, formerly known as The Church of the Epiphany** This globally acclaimed showcase features original and authenticated works associated with, arguably, the most intriguing and talked-about artist in modern history. On display are prints, canvasses, screen-prints, sculptures, unique works and limited-edition pieces mainly dated between the years 1997 to 2008, the period which resulted in Banksy’s most recognizable and well-known works. The exhibit features iconic works such as ‘Girl and Balloon’, ‘Flower Thrower’ and ‘Rude Copper’ alongside some of Banksy’s lesser known masterpieces. Banksy is most infamous for his outdoor art which can be found in streets all around the world. Banksy’s indoor pieces - original and unique works on canvas, wood and paper - have been less exposed and are also on display at this exhibition. We love the new push towards these immersive art exhibits in the City.

Thank you to our new client Andy Andrews for taking our headshots in front of our mural Summer Loading... Can you believe it? Chicago has entered into its bridge phase and is one step closer in being completely COVID-19 restriction free. Please click here to get an idea of all capacity specifications by setting and activity. While the improvement in weather tends to emote a certain vibrancy, we are excited to feel that compounded effect now that most people are completing their vaccinations and are coming out of lockdown. We have already felt that buzz through our deal flow. There has been a continuous stream of new commercial leases encompassing various industries (mostly in mental health, hospitality, and pet services) that have been executed over the past few months. One of CP's deals was featured in the Chicago Tribune last week! We look forward to seeing these businesses open and flourish, while fellow veteran businesses resume their operations as they were 15 months ago. Allegro Pet Services was started in 2014 to fill a "personalized concierge" niche in the Chicago pet-care industry. Serving the North and Central Chicago neighborhoods, client dogs are cared for as if they were family with services like in-home cage free boarding and non-pack walking. During the last 7 years Allegro has grown from 1 person and a few clients to 6 staff members serving over 50 clients. The new social club at 1235 W Belmont Ave is an exciting addition to our logistical operations to give client dogs the lifestyle that they deserve. The facility will be mainly used for Canine Social Club, curated small groups of client dogs socializing and playing, and for training, troubleshooting, and working with individual client issues. We look forward to opening on July 1st and adding these great services, and now feel we can offer a true continuum of pet care for our clients. 2046 N Damen, Chicago, IL 60647 Step into the shoes of a restaurant that had a successful run for 23 years! "So much more than just a breakfast dining spot." Located in the heart of Bucktown this iconic dining location has been “the hipster” neighborhood staple breakfast café for over 20 years, formerly as Toast. This celebrated property with its storied past is back and ready for its newest chapter. This time with the right ingredients married with an authentic cuisine will make this a vibrant neighborhood destination once more. The kitchen comes fully equipped, in good working order. The dining area is flooded with natural light from the skylights and over 18-foot-tall ceilings, which grants a most welcoming openness, so rare to find in a restaurant location in Chicago. Additionally, the location provides a large outdoor patio space which can host an equal number of guests outside as inside. With a canopy backdrop, the back patio brings with it elements of charm reminiscent of Parisian street café. The space includes a large basement for storage as well as an attic space which can be utilized for additional storage or as a manager’s office. The location rests in the center of Bucktown’s strip of high-end retail establishments along Damen Avenue. Lacking strong competition for breakfast dining in Bucktown, this location can be a cash cow for the right type of concept for many years to come. After all, it has been done before in this location!

Shimpaku Juniper 15 years old, origin soems from Kurlie Island and grows in volcanic archipelago sediment, light shade, water every three days Good Faith Business At Coordinate, there is an active practice of striving toward everyone's best interest for all of the parties involved. Good faith is what we aim for. Why is this? For business to grow, much like a bonsai tree, the right mix of trust, reliability and environment is required. Bonsai trees, according to Zen Buddhist tradition, are built on harmony. Crucial to a bonsai's success is its early root development. There are many factors tied to the survival of each tree. The physical properties of the soil, the availability of nutrients, and the temperature all impact an expanding system of roots. Like a new tree, each business relationship requires attention, effort, and cultivation in order to flourish. Each of these relationships is built on good faith. When all parties involved are connected with honest communication and integrity, the roots of the relationship are nourished for sustainable and permanent growth. Here at Coordinate Properties we practice this level of engagement daily.  Sandwich Board Art of the Month   In a creative effort to generate revenue with our monthly board art, this month, President Lincoln can be seen on Armitage calling attention to the SpotHero parking spots next to the office. Pun intended by the way. To its success, SpotHero usage has increased by more than 50% this month! 815 West Armitage in Lincoln Park is not only home to Coordinate Properties, but McShane’s Exchange as well. McShane’s Exchange is a designer consignment boutique that opened its doors on May 10th in 1988 by Denise McShane. The boutique’s mission has always been to create an affordable and inviting shopping environment for women of all ages and sizes. McShane’s has gone through many changes throughout the decades; the most recent of the big changes occurred in September of 2020 when the boutique was sold. McShane’s Exchange was sold to Alejandra Lopez, who was introduced to McShane’s in 1997 when her mom brought her in by force—she was only 6 years old and did not like shopping trips. Her sentiments towards shopping changed drastically when she became a high school student at Lincoln Park High School in 2005, she was eager to be trendy but knew she had to get a job to obtain the many clothing items she desired. She walked to McShane’s one day and was offered her first real job, it was an exciting moment for the then teenager. The same feelings of excitement were replicated when she decided to buy McShane’s Exchange in September of 2020. She has kept the original name and business model and hopes to continue growing the boutique’s legacy for many more decades to come. In honor of the boutique’s birthdate, McShane’s Exchange will be hosting a birthday celebration on Sunday, May 9th. Refreshments, goodie bags, and surprises will be offered throughout the day to celebrate McShane’s Exchange turning 33. Alejandra Lopez - owner and operator McShane's Exchange Earth Day This past Earth Day the Ravenswood Neighbors Association and Coordinate Properties collaborated to set up planters at 4710 N Ravenswood. Going forward, these will be used to grow native flowers, grasses, and produce in addition to providing shelter for city-dwelling bees. All plants and flowers grown here, will be transferred to various parkway gardens in Ravenswood during the beginning of June.  Other green initiatives include the Plant Chicago and University of Illinois community composting event. With the goal of collecting 5 tons of compostable material (grass clippings, leaves, landscaping waste, kitchen scraps), people who dropped off compostable material were sent home with a bucket of finished compost.   My mother taught me to always leave a place cleaner than I found it, and that extends to the planet we all share.  4700 N Ravenswood, Chicago, IL 60640 This chic industrial office space is rarely available. Over 3,400 SF, this premium office space is partitioned into 10 private offices, a kitchenette, and a conference room, in addition to an open floor plan. Located in the heart of Ravenswood and less than 2 blocks of the Ravenswood Metra and the Damen Brown Line make this property ideal for any number of businesses. Zoned C3-2, it can accommodate a wide variety of uses. Come check it out while you can.  Merchandise Mart Art Looking for an excuse to get out and enjoy the city as the weather gets nicer?

Kris walking Del Mar in front of CP's office on Armitage Ave. This month's sandwich board boasts a quote from Frank Llyod Wright, "Eventually, I think Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world."     Dan O'Donnell & Community Leadership This month's newsletter is dedicated to the memory of Dan O' Donnell, a highly influential Lincoln Park businessman and property owner, popularly known as the 'Alderman' of Armitage Avenue. O' Donnell's prolific involvement in improving the Armitage neighborhood and dedication to those in need made his Hardware store at 925 W. Armitage Ave. a "beacon of light" for an entire community and all the lives he helped. Read more about his life and community contributions here.  Although I did not know Dan before moving both my work and home to the Armitage corridor, I saw him semi-frequently when I would go to Armitage Hardware to get keys copied after finalizing a new lease. I quickly grew to appreciate his excitement for me whenever I helped get a deal signed. As I got to know Dan, I came to realize just how involved he was in the neighborhood, and at some point I realized that he was a huge part of the reason Armitage is what it is today.  Reflecting on his life makes me wonder how I can invest, empower, and support my community like Dan did. Whether providing employment, coordinating development, or fighting for the neighborhood corridor's landmark status, Dan was a shining example of what a leader can be. During his life, he improved his community immeasurably by acting with foresight, compassion, and integrity to the benefit of all of us who call Armitage Avenue home.    Dan's devotion and hard work in the community made him an icon amongst Armitage residents. His efforts to better the community will not be soon forgotten and serve as an inspiration for those of us lucky enough to have known him.  What can we do today to invest in our community for tomorrow?   Client Shoutout  The Theraplay Institute   The Theraplay Institute is proud to be moving into their new home at 1224 W Belmont Ave in Chicago.

Patience Practicing in real estate is not for the faint of heart. In practice, among the many challenges any given broker may face, nothing is as great as testing one’s ability to endure the short-term struggles of getting a deal done.  And when eventual success seems remote, we as brokers discover the true value of patience.  The term patience itself is defined as the capacity to accept and/or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset.  Sound familiar?  Sometimes identifying reasons to continually endure short-term struggles or hardships for subsequent payoffs can be difficult.  Brokers must remediate unjustified demands, unreasonable concerns, unfettered emotions, unabated hopes, and indignance at every step of the way.  As if all that wasn’t enough, add a polar vortex with a twist of pandemic, the product of which is a total S#!t Storm (for lack of a better word) that we must endure.  As a broker I realize I will not pan gold on every deal that comes across my plate.  Brokers do not control a deal’s outcome; they can only influence it.  And even when a deal seems remote, it certainly does not mean the deal is dead.  Getting to yes requires patience, courage, and faith, and most of all it requires the ability to endure all that it takes to get there.  Cheers to patience with the hopes that you will enjoy this edition of our monthly Newsletter.   Troy City Yoga & Movement   Troy City Yoga & Movement, inspired by Abbe Ciulla, was born from the idea of creating an alternative way to get fit and feel wholly healthy. Abbe comes from an abundant background - from yoga, energy healing, functional conditioning and body building, these components were the incubator of different emotions, passions, and experiences. Her first studio, HELIX Alternative Movement, was a combination of all of these different physical exercises and energetic modalities mixed with an artistic and passionate touch.  The focus of this studio was based on having a great time while improving your entire well-being - mind, body, and soul. You are not only transforming your overall conditioning, but you are learning different skills, such as felxibility, strength, energetics, and mindfulness. The unique approach of yoga and movement gives everyone a chance to be able to feel and experience what the mind-body-soul wellness world is about.  As HELIX moves onto its next phase and brand-spanking new location, it will be transformed into Troy City Yoga & Movement. TCYM is not just about how to get a strong, healthy body. It's about feeling empowered and confident in oneself as well as being healthy. The goal of TYCM will always be to empower everyone to discover their own spirit through the art of yoga, movement, and wellness, whether in our home studio or on one of our adventure yoga retreats across the globe. Even though Troy City Yoga & Movement is located in a building we manage in Fall River, MA, they offer plenty of online opportunities through their website.      1508 W 18th Street, Chicago, IL 60608   This rarely available storefront retail space is located in the culturally rich Chicago neighborhood of Pilsen offering music, iconic art, culinary tradition, and nightlife.  Originally this space was built to support a restaurant but has since been converted for office use, however, can serve many types of business concepts in just one location.  1508 W 18th Street is a well maintained building that is move in ready with B-2 zoning.  Tall ceilings accompanied by dark wooden floors, exposed brick accents, and massive windows offer tremendous visibility for retail or restaurant branding.   Space includes finished basement, rear parking, and high exposure to name a few perks at this location.  Parks in walking distance, a block way from the CTA pink line, and heavy commercial traffic on 18th and nearby Ashland make this a ideal opportunity for a variety of commercial uses.  Won't last long!

Constructed and realized by Massimiliano Siccardi and Luca Longobardi, this show combines classical works with multimedia technology to create a uniquely different museum experience.  With an opening earlier this month, show dates have already been lengthened in response to popular demand. March and April have already sold out but the show is planned to run 7 days a week through Labor Day, September 6, 2021. The event is being hosted in the Germania Club Building, a historic Chicago landmark that was built more than 130 years ago.

It's Go Time Del Mar knows that there is no point letting snow get in the way of having a productive day. As the holiday buzz finally dissipates and we find ourselves blanketed in Chicago winter, we are grateful to reflect on our own busy days. Five days into 2021, we executed a lease agreement completely filling a 12,000 SF medical office building that has sat vacant for several years. The momentum continued and soon after, we signed a lease with a yoga studio, a new restaurant concept, and closed on two residential deals - one which fell out of contract and went back into contract within 48 hours.  Between new deals, new clients, and new experiences we are constantly given the opportunity to learn. In addition to new opportunities in real estate, Amanda was invited by Jennifer Pereira to be a guest lecturer and project partner at Johnson & Wales University and present on Real Estate Investment and Development Strategies. Pulling on years of professional experience in real estate and law, coupled with starting and managing her own business, she aims to explore the considerations, challenges, and planning that go into any real estate venture. Outline the process of research, design, and development will enable students to engage with a real world application of their academic knowledge.  As we continue to expand outside of our comfort zone, we give ourselves opportunity to grow, experience new things, and refine our understanding of the world. This last year has been a tough one, and it is easy to let that discourage you about what this year could be. A constant and consistent desire to learn, the freedom to explore our interests, and the ability to help educate others are just some of the ways we have managed to stay engaged in our lives and communities. Let us know what has helped keep you sane during these difficult times, and ask yourself how you can get outside of your own comfort zone!     Kris' Sandwich Board Art of the Month    What do two former presidents and a Dr. Seuss character have in common? They all recognize that a little bit of imagination can radically change the world around us. Whether it's taking independence from colonial rulers or fighting for equality in an unjust world, the ability to think about how things could be rather than just how they are made these individuals exceptional. We can't really do anything about last year now, but this year could be anything you want. Good Clothing Company   Some say the future of American made fashion is automatic, while others opt for a more artisanal approach through customization and smaller production runs. Good Clothing Company is a sustainable apparel production facility at the forefront of bringing the US apparel manufacturing industry back to life, with an added human touch.   Since inception, the company has been bridging the gap for emerging and independent designers looking for quicker turn-around times and lower minimums.  With a desire to raise the bar for women in the fashion industry, Kathryn Hilderbrand, set out with 30 years of experience to bring her small batch manufacturing business to fruition. A single mother raising her children, Hildrebrand humbly started Good Clothing Co. by opening up a commercial account with $7.35 from recycled bottle returns.  The company employs a talented all female team of design consultants, professional seamstresses, pattern makers and stitchers. A house line of sustainable apparel utilizes natural fabrics to accentuate the female form. All signature cuts are inclusive to a wide array of body types and pants includes a customizable inseam option. Clothes should be made to fit you, not the other way around.     Kathryn Hilderbrand - Master Tailor, Designer, and Founder of Good Clothing Company.   4710 N Ravenswood, Chicago, IL 60640   Formerly a Michelin Star brewpub, this historic restaurant is located in the Ravenswood neighborhood, amidst an excellent mix of commercial and residential properties.

Gratitude One year and twelve newsletters later, Coordinate Properties has come a long way in a relatively short period of time. Although this year has been far from perfect, we regularly find solace in the little things, even when so many of the big things have been put on hold during this global pandemic. This year during COVID, we were grateful to be busy all year long. We helped fill 29 residences with new tenants, sold our first condo, and purchased a home. Our involvement in commercial real estate included helping 10 businesses find their first location and 8 businesses expand into a new location. We also engaged in our first historical renovation, updating the interior of the remarkable castle on Berwyn in the Andersonville neighborhood.  The recent FDA approval of the Pfizer COVID vaccine means we can finally see the light at the end of the long and dark tunnel that was 2020. While we have all made sacrifices thus far, we look forward with high hopes to this upcoming year and a return to whatever normal looks like for you. Returning to the idea of little things that have helped us navigate these uncertain times, we have consistently enjoyed getting out into the community when and were we can. This year we are especially grateful for you and the continued support and interest in Coordinate Properties. Engaging with art has been another way in which we have contributed to our community and kept our spirits high. We have learned to recognize the importance of supporting and taking care of each other, the strength in community, and the necessity of appreciation in the face of adversity. We must continue to treasure both our relationships and the world around us, despite the limitations imposed by COVID-19.         Kris, our artist in residence here at Coordinate Properties, focused this month's board on those who came to understand the importance of community. All three protagonists featured on the first side of the board above, initially could not understand the intrinsic beauty of the holidays until they learned to be grateful for their situation and celebrate it with others. The other side of the board is merely an abstract - just for fun.      A restaurant expanding during the pandemic?? Tatas Tacos has been a staple in the Portage Park community since it’s opening on May 5th, 2018.

In the meantime, make sure to order during their annual “12 Days of Tacos”, which will feature a brand new taco every day (not on menu) leading up to Christmas!       732 W Aldine, Chicago IL     Check out this unique penthouse duplex on a quiet and tree lined street between the North Halsted and Lakeview East neighborhoods.

Invest in what you know For many of us, Thanksgiving was different this this year. Fewer attendees at the table due to travel restrictions and public health advisements, maybe a zoom call with the extended family. For me, my family experienced our first holiday without our father. Given that 2020 has been a surprisingly productive year for Coordinate Properties, this loss hit hard. From the beginning, my father was my inspiration in starting my own business. In 1952 he passed through Elis Island by ship before settling into a home in West Lincoln Park with his family. Since the age of 5, he worked dozens of odd jobs, supported himself through school until he eventually became a well respected orthopedic surgeon. An entrepreneur himself, he opened his own medical practice and used his income to start investing in real estate. One of the greatest lessons he taught me was to “only invest in what you know.” When he first started investing in real estate in the 1970s, Lincoln Park was much different than today and most investors steered clear of the area. The first building my father bought, on his own, is now the current home of Coordinate Properties at 815 Armitage Ave. I know my father had a good aesthetic eye, but he also had the imagination and vision for the potential of what things could be. Whatever loss this year has brought to anyone, may it also be your inspiration. 2021 is right around the corner and with it, a lot of change. I am not saying that it will go back to the world we knew pre-pandemic, but may we all have the strength to make the changes we want to see. As we set our sights forward, in pursuit of imagined potentials, we know how important a good team is in translating those dreams to reality. Always on the look out for entrepreneurs needing property for their pursuits, we look forward to the day we will trade the virtual convenience of zoom meetings for the tangible aspect of being present.  1224 W Belmont, Chicago IL Need a new base of operations for your business?
