RayMark Venture, LLC
VentureMark, Inc. is an owner of RayMark Venture, LLC, a real estate investment company. RayMark was established in 1998 and initially acquired and managed apartment buildings in southeast Evanston, Illinois. Two years after acquiring these buildings, RayMark sold at a significant profit to condo developers, after most of the area in which RayMark was investing turned condo.
With the proceeds from those residential multi-unit apartment sales, RayMark invested in retail and office properties in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood, concentrating on a four-block stretch along Clark Street – Andersonville’s “main street.” Over a five year period, RayMark became the dominant owner of commercial property in Andersonville and attracted to its buildings new, independently–owned, non-formula retailers, who re-defined the neighborhood. In doing so, RayMark sparked a revitalization of this neighborhood making it one of the most unique and vibrant retail streets in Chicago.
In June of 2008, RayMark Venture sold its Chicago, Andersonville neighborhood retail and office portfolio of nine buildings consisting of about 100,000 rentable square feet to Newcastle Limited.
