MoHall Commercial & Urban Development

Most people only celebrate the ribbon cutting.

They rarely talk about the years of vacancy, boarded windows, stalled investment, and the question every community quietly asks:

“Will this corridor ever come back to life again?”

Today, we’re proud to say… it did.

This closing marks the final chapter of a redevelopment assignment that became much bigger than a real estate transaction for us at MoHall Commercial & Urban Development.

Over the last several years, we’ve had the opportunity to help reposition and sell more than 10 commercial properties throughout the Hazel Crest Arts District corridor. Many of these buildings sat vacant and overlooked for years. Some were considered difficult deals.

But we saw something different.

We saw future restaurants.
Future small businesses.
Future jobs.
Future tax revenue.
Future energy returning back to the community.

And now, every property in this portfolio has officially been SOLD.

That means new ownership.
New investment.
New redevelopment.
And a new chapter for Hazel Crest.

From blighted to rebuilt.
From vacant to activated.
From uncertainty to opportunity.

Most industrial buildings are just boxes.

This one tells a different story.

Introducing 3146 W Chicago Ave, a 6,400 SF industrial flex showroom in the heart of Chicago’s Humboldt Park corridor, where function meets presentation.

With M1-2 zoning, drive-in access, and proximity to I-90/94, I-290, and CTA transit, this property checks every box for last-mile distribution, e-commerce, light manufacturing, or a flagship showroom location in Chicago’s urban core.

MoHall Commercial & Urban Development’s journey in Chicago began with a simple foundation. No built-in network, no direct path into commercial real estate, and no guarantees. Just a commitment to learn the business, build relationships, and stay consistent over time.

Over the years, that foundation has grown into a track record of executing deals across Chicago’s commercial landscape, working alongside clients, investors, and community stakeholders.

This week, that work was recognized on stage at the Chicago Association of REALTORS® Sales Awards, by being named a Platinum CommercialForum Top Producer.

This recognition is for the top 1% of commercial real estate brokers in Chicago, based on transaction volume and deal size across multiple categories.

2 years in the making.

MoHall Commercial & Urban Development first engaged ownership in 2023 regarding the sale of this funeral home. After careful timing and strategic positioning, we officially brought the asset to market in 2025 and secured an offer almost immediately.

Getting to the closing table required far more.
SBA delays. State licensing approvals. Extended timelines. Complex negotiations.

We’re proud to have successfully guided this transaction to a close and grateful for the insight gained into a highly specialized asset class.
