What Makes a<br />

“<strong>Good</strong><br />

The Chicago Association of REALTORS ® (C.A.R.) established the <strong>Good</strong> <strong>Neighbor</strong><br />

<strong>Awards</strong> in 1992 to encourage rehabilitation and redevelopment in the city’s North Side<br />

neighborhoods. Today, the awards showcase groundbreaking rehabs, redevelopments,<br />

historic preservations and new construction projects across the city and the suburbs.<br />

<strong>Good</strong> <strong>Neighbor</strong> Award Winners are visionaries who set new standards of excellence and<br />

make the Chicago area a better place to live.<br />

Exceptional properties are nominated by real estate,<br />

construction and development professionals, and public<br />

officials, such as city aldermen. Nominations are evaluated<br />

by a committee of REALTORS ® and industry peers who<br />

select the finest properties.<br />

Initially, awards recognized property owners whose<br />

rehabilitation projects positively changed their surrounding<br />

neighborhoods. Today, they go much further. <strong>Good</strong> <strong>Neighbor</strong><br />

<strong>Awards</strong> recognize those whose efforts go above and beyond<br />

their peers to conquer challenges and add innovation to the<br />

market.<br />

The first office-to-residential conversion in Chicago’s Loop<br />

is a prime example of a past award recipient. The developer<br />

overcame numerous challenges posed by city departments,<br />

neighboring buildings and the marketplace. Once a unique<br />

concept, such downtown conversions are now standard.<br />

Numerous other developers expanded the idea and,<br />

ultimately, created a community where none had existed.<br />

Other examples of past award winners include some of<br />

the first conversions of old, abandoned industrial buildings<br />

into loft properties that helped enliven the West Loop<br />

neighborhood with restaurants, shops and nightlife.<br />

<strong>Good</strong> <strong>Neighbor</strong> <strong>Awards</strong> have also recognized historic<br />

renovations that saved architecturally-significant buildings<br />

from the wrecking ball. In one case, a special award was<br />

presented for total restoration of a mansion that stood as<br />

a sole remnant of an elite Chicago neighborhood in what<br />

had become an industrial area. In the shadows of one of the<br />

largest trade show centers in the world, the mansion is now<br />

a bed and breakfast.<br />

Other award winners have included developers who take<br />

special care to fit in with their properties’ surrounding<br />

neighborhoods, and who tackle projects to bring stigmatized<br />

properties back to life. An example of a formerly stigmatized<br />

property is a condo conversion of a multi-unit rental<br />

building in which an arson fire killed seven people. After<br />

<strong>Neighbor</strong>?”<br />

much struggle and several attempts by other developers, the<br />

property was finally re-developed and brought back on the<br />

tax rolls, eliminating blight within a residential community.<br />

The <strong>Good</strong> <strong>Neighbor</strong> <strong>Awards</strong> recognize properties that offer<br />

amenities tailored to their communities, often enhancing<br />

commercial vitality and local pride. This year is no exception.<br />

Projects receiving <strong>2016</strong> <strong>Good</strong> <strong>Neighbor</strong> <strong>Awards</strong> include:<br />

• A mixed-use renovation in Uptown that transformed<br />

a 1928 transient apartment building into a sleek,<br />

well-run apartment complex, with amenities like<br />

an Internet café, Heritage Coffee shop and other<br />

leased commercial spaces that is helping to<br />

re-awaken a sense of community in the area.<br />

• Where a warehouse that didn’t lend itself to<br />

conversion once stood, today hosts 14 occupied<br />

single family homes. The addition of planted<br />

parkways and families in the area, whose children<br />

attend the public school nearby, is helping to<br />

transform a corner of Logan Square.<br />

• A long-vacant property near the Six Corners<br />

Business District has been transformed into a<br />

beautiful, high-end restaurant to invest in and help<br />

build the community’s revitalization.<br />

As they do every year, this year’s <strong>Good</strong> <strong>Neighbor</strong> Award<br />

winners tell the story of varied lifestyles in Chicago – and<br />

real estate that responds to neighborhood needs.<br />

• A single continuous public park adjacent to<br />

Millennium Park that integrates active and passive<br />

recreation, Maggie Daley serves as a counterpoint to<br />

Grant Park’s formal landscape “rooms” and provides<br />

families and individuals alike a place to gather<br />

and play.<br />

• A vacant industrial lot has evolved into the Pulaski<br />

Promenade, a symbol of revitalization in Chicago’s<br />

14 th Ward, bringing many jobs to the community<br />

and encouraging businesses back into the area.<br />

The Bruce Abrams Award<br />

In 1999, the Chicago real estate community lost a great friend with the passing of Bruce Abrams, founder<br />

& president of LR Development, now Related Midwest. His work throughout Chicago, the suburbs and<br />

the country was extraordinary. Whether it was a new construction, an<br />

entire development, renovation, restoration, or conversion, he<br />

did it with class and style. Abrams was a highly successful and<br />

well-respected developer of commercial and residential real<br />

estate, known not only for his tireless energy and ambition,<br />

but also for the care and taste with which he approached<br />

renovation projects in historic and aging properties.<br />
