Sale of City-owned property at 13435 S Brandon Ave to Abraham Maldonado under ChiBlockBuilder platform for improved side lot with landscaped open space
Under the Constitution of the State of Illinois of 1970, the City of Chicago has acquired numerous parcels of vacant land. To sell these lands, the Department of Planning and Development created ChiBlockBuilder, a web-based platform, and retained CBRE Group, Inc. to provide market value assessments. The Department accepted applications for the city lots from April 1 to May 17, 2024, and published public notices in the Chicago Tribune. Eligible side yard buyers had to meet certain qualifications and the Department selected buyers for multiple city lots, who agreed to purchase the city lots for the purchase prices listed on Exhibit A.
