We bought 1535 abandoned, gutted, and ravaged by unreported fires. The grand facade was crumbling onto the sidewalk. It was sad to see a Chicago Landmarked Building deteriorating but it presented the perfect opportunity to grow the business and stay true to our mission of long term preservation.

For 3+ years we navigated city approvals to add a floor and convert it from a three-unit to a four-unit building, maximizing the investment.

Now, 1535 N Maplewood stands tall as a testament to perseverance, providing a cherished home to happy renters, and the structure itself will outlast our legacy.
