State and sector
This list covers 36 Illinois family offices with real estate among their reported investment interests. Chicago is the largest location, with profiles also in Northbrook, Effingham, Glenview and Oak Brook. The group includes 29 single-family offices and 7 multi-family offices. Real estate is the most frequently listed focus, while private equity, venture capital and manufacturing also appear across profiles. Other reported interests include alternative investments, hedge funds, technology and retail. Assets under management are available for 10 offices in the database, while other profiles provide less financial detail. For owners, sponsors and fund managers, the table offers a way to find firms whose stated geography and investment themes merit closer review. Check each profile for context before reaching out: a real estate focus does not establish a current mandate, preferred property type or willingness to consider a specific opportunity.

The listed profiles are tied to Illinois and report real estate as an investment focus. That focus may sit alongside other interests, including private equity and venture capital. Inclusion is useful for research, but it does not confirm that a firm is acquiring property, raising capital for a project or reviewing proposals.
Chicago accounts for 23 profiles. The list also includes offices in Northbrook, Effingham, Glenview and Oak Brook. These locations give a quick view of where listed firms are based, while each profile should be checked for further context about its geographic investment reach.
Review the profile and tailor your message to the office's stated themes and geography. Explain the asset type, location, business plan, capital structure and decision timeline in plain terms. Keep the initial note focused, and do not assume a broad real estate focus means the firm has a mandate for your property or strategy.
AUM is disclosed for 10 of the 36 profiles. Financial information is not equally available across the table, and disclosed AUM should be treated as profile information rather than a measure of interest in a particular transaction. Use the other public fields to decide which firms merit more research.
The full list includes contact data, decision makers and check size fields alongside the firm profiles. This can help sponsors and advisors plan more informed outreach and narrow research by potential fit. The request is for data; it does not include introductions or promise funding or other results.
