NORTHBROOK, Ill., July 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Hilco Real Estate Sales announces August 14, 2024, as the bid deadline for the sale of this former hotel turned housing facility in Chicago’s North Shore.

Built in 1971, this 71,580± SF, five-story building was originally constructed as a Ramada Inn. Over the years, the property has undergone extensive renovations to transform it into a modern living community. The current facility consists of 105 units: 95 studio apartments averaging 316± SF and 10 one-bedroom units ranging from 632± to 720± SF. Also included is the recently constructed 20,000± SF commercial space ideal for a variety of uses including grocery operations, dining or banquet hall for hosting events and conferences.

The property, located at 700 Sheridan Road, Highwood, IL, is outfitted with amenities designed to enhance the quality of life for its residents or guests, inclusive of an updated lobby/reception area, library, mail room, beauty/barber shop, multi-purpose room, living room, sundry store, indoor pool and sauna, wellness/therapy facilities and marketing and management offices – all of which make for an easy transition for a new investor or owner to start hosting tenants.

Highwood is nestled in Chicago’s affluent North Shore and surrounded by notable suburbs like Highland Park, Glencoe, Winnetka, Evanston, Wilmette and Lake Forest. Particularly, Wilmette and Lake Forest rank among the top 50 of America’s Wealthiest suburbs. These communities feature top-rated schools, beautiful lakefront views, popular golf courses and scenic forest preserves. The presence of such affluent neighborhoods enhances the appeal of the area for potential residents, promising a high-quality living environment.

Just 27 miles from the Chicago Loop and 20 miles from O’Hare Airport, the site benefits from key transportation links like Interstate 94, IL Route 22, IL Route 131 and U.S. Route 41, as well as Metra’s Chicago & North Western/North Line commuter trains and Pace bus service. This prime location, surrounded by vibrant communities and excellent transportation options, makes the property ideal for establishing a thriving business.
