Illinois
Overview
Illinois remains a central player in the Midwest real estate landscape, anchored by the institutional depth and scale of Chicago. With diverse asset classes spanning multifamily, office repositioning, industrial, and life sciences, the state offers both core and value-add opportunities.
As companies realign footprints and capital shifts from coastal markets to high-yield metros, Illinois presents a compelling case for GP and co-GP partnerships, capital structuring, and third-party asset management—particularly in transit-oriented development, logistics corridors, and urban/suburban redevelopment strategies.
