INVESTMENT

I buy distressed, neglected, “diamonds in the rough” properties in the Chicago land area. I reclaim, repurpose, rebuild & sell them. This is not your typical “fix & flip’. I am all about taking what exists and making it useful and beautiful again, preserving, restoring, replicating what I can, repurposing what I cannot. If you are looking for property to invest in or currently have one to repurpose or sell, I will work with you to achieve your goal.

DESIGN

My core belief is that existing buildings have history and design and those two things should always be considered in any new ideas. Meaning, I specialize in taking what is existing marrying it with what my clients envision and providing results which are both functional and appeasing.  I provide full interior and exterior design services and partner with architectural, mechanical and structural consultants to offer a full range from idea concepts through rebuild. From as simple as color choices to a full gut and rebuild. If have a Chicago Bungalow, Grey/Brownstone, Row House, Four Square or a no-style that you want to reclaim, repurpose and rebuild; whatever your vision is, I will bring it to life.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

This is the nuts and bolts that make the vision come alive. Do not fear the unknown or rundown appearance of the building, there is still life there waiting to be awakened anew. Do not fear the contractor as I will take you through the whole process of running the project from concept planning to occupancy resulting in your satisfaction.
