Over 30 years ago, the principals of DL3 Realty came together to revitalize the commercial landscape of the far south side of Chicago, which had declined after the social unrest of the 1960s.

DL3 Realty has spent the past 20 years acquiring prominent commercial locations in Chicago’s urban communities to establish high-quality education programs, professional office buildings, and national retailer-anchored strip malls.

Today, DL3 Realty is a locally engaged, nationally-recognized, full-service real estate development firm dedicated to transforming communities through high-impact commercial real estate. From medical centers to grocery stores, our connection to the community creates a pipeline of development opportunities that improve the quality of life for everyday Chicagoans. We continue to expand through new developments and acquisitions of commercial sites, including an active pipeline of over $100 million in commercial projects designed to elevate Chicago's urban communities.

In 2019, DL3 launched an impact fund. The inaugural fund allows accredited investors to leverage DL3’s nationally-recognized approach to realize risk-adjusted financial returns and meaningful social and economic impact.
