Robert K. Futterman & Associates completes $80 million sale

Robert K. Futterman & Associates (RKF) recently completed the $80 million sale of the fee interest subject to the 71-year leasehold at One Superior Place, a residential tower situated between Superior and Huron Sts. on Dearborn St. in the city's River North. RKF executive vice president Jeff Fishman, who oversees the firm's investment sales and advisory services division, arranged the sale on behalf of the seller, which consists of BLDG Deans Superior, LLC; One Superior, LLC and BLDG HH Superior, LLC. Hartz Mountain Industries, Inc., represented by CB Richard Ellis vice chairman Jeffrey Dunne, was the buyer of the fee. In a simultaneous transaction, Hartz Mountain also purchased the building. RKF also represented the seller of the fee when the entity purchased it in July 2008 for $55 million. One Superior Place is a 52-story mixed-use tower, which features 809 apartments, first-floor retail space, second floor commercial space, and a six-story parking garage. "The centralized location of One Superior Place in downtown Chicago's River North neighborhood presented the buyer with an exceptional type of asset and led to one of the largest, record-setting sales in the market," said Fishman. "Institutional investors have taken a renewed interest in the impressive strength of this area, specifically in multifamily." Located three blocks from Michigan Avenue, this upscale property hosts various long-term leases with its retail and commercial tenants, which include Whole Foods Market, Roy's Restaurant and PNC Bank.
