South Loop Presents the Greatest Opportunity for Rent Growth in Chicago, a Market with Nation Leading Fundamentals

  • Since 2015, rents in the South Loop have grown a cumulative 34% (Second highest of any Chicago CBD submarket)
  • Denominator Effect

    • South Loop rents currently average $284 below other downtown Chicago submarkets
    • The gap between South Loop rents and those other submarkets has decreased 18% in the last ten years. The tightening of that spread is largely due to the denominator effect
    • As rents in the South Loop are starting at a lower monthly rent (lower denominator), there presents more opportunity for outsized rent growth
    • Assets renting at $4.15 psf would require an increase of $0.20 per sf to achieve 5% rent growth, compared to 1400 S Wabash at $3.15 psf only needing $0.15 per sf to achieve the same rent growth (32% difference)
  • Multifamily supply in Chicago is set to drop 31% in the next four years compared to the 10-year historical average – with South Loop supply down a dramatic 49%
