Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management’s (DeAWM) real estate investment
business today announced that it has acquired 2555 North Clark, Chicago
on behalf of an institutional client.
The 19-story apartment tower comprises 162 units which are 96% occupied,
and 6,884 square feet of fully-let retail space.
The property, four miles north of downtown Chicago, is located in the
Lincoln Park neighborhood on Clark Street, well-known for its numerous
up-market restaurants, boutiques and nightlife, and with close proximity
to Lake Michigan. The building has undergone extensive exterior
renovations since it was built in 1987.

2555 North Clark is a well-designed, multifamily asset located in a
vibrant submarket in Chicago that is currently underserved with rental
housing units. We believe this fact combined with an active asset
management strategy will allow us to deliver above-average total returns
and hold strong long term value for our client," said Todd Henderson,
