CBRE has arranged the sale of a 14,378 square foot development site located at 863 N Orleans St., also known as 330 W Chestnut, in the River North neighborhood of Chicago. BlitzLake sold the property to Draper and Kramer in a transaction that closed October 6, 2022. The land sold for $4,180,000.

CBRE’s Tom Svoboda, represented the seller, BlitzLake, in the transaction.

863 N Orleans is a transit-oriented development site in a burgeoning part of the River North neighborhood. The site is adjacent to JDL’s mega North Union development, and numerous projects along Chicago Ave. Draper and Kramer is working on plans for a multifamily development on the site.

“This entire north River North area is being transformed into a true mixed-use environment, creating better connectivity to the popular surrounding neighborhoods like Old Town and the Gold Coast,” said Svoboda.
