D2 Realty Services Inc. has hired CB Richard Ellis Inc. to sell the parcel at 1000 S. Clark St. with an asking price of $20 million. D2 paid $10.4 million for the property in August 2006, financing the acquisition with an $11-million loan from Fremont Investment & Loan, property records show.

Published by Chicago Real Estate Daily on June 18, 2008.

Some observers say D2’s asking price is a stretch, especially considering all THE? other rental developments under way in the neighborhood. The developer is seeking $181 a square foot for the lot, slightly less than the $184 a square foot Virginia-based AvalonBay Communities Inc. paid for another apartment development site on the same block last August. But D2’s price comes out to about $33,000 a unit, vs. $23,000 a unit for the AvalonBay site at the southwest corner of Clark and Polk streets.

Published by Chicago Real Estate Daily on June 18, 2008.

Working against D2 is the high number of apartments under construction nearby. Amli Residential is putting the finishing touches on a 440-unit apartment building just north of the D2 site, and a joint venture of Lincoln Property Co. and Equity Residential has just started leasing up a 278-unit tower at 1401 S. State St. AvalonBay is getting ready to launch construction of the first of two 500-unit towers on its site, and a failed 298-unit condo project at 720 S.
