GW Properties is a Chicago-based real estate development and asset-ownership firm that focuses on retail and mixed-use properties, including shopping centers, freestanding retail, and restaurant sites. It relies on a broad network within the commercial real estate sector to conduct brokerage, development, and property acquisitions in the Chicagoland area, typically handling mid-sized deals. The firm collaborates with tenants, brokers, consultants, banks, and attorneys to navigate all stages of a transaction and address potential issues related to contracts, environmental and site conditions, construction, budgets, zoning, architectural and engineering, and lease management. Properties are acquired and developed through fee simple transactions, distressed sales, and various forms of partnerships or joint ventures, guided by a conservative underwriting approach to safeguard holdings as markets change. The company's hands-on approach centers on retail and mixed-use developments, with a portfolio that includes shopping centers and restaurant properties. Recent activity includes involvement in the Maple building project and a lease transaction at Church Street Plaza with Egg Harbor Cafe, reflecting ongoing asset management from its Chicago base.
