How Our Strategic Approach Transforms Overlooked Assets into High-Yielding Investments

At GAIN CRE Services, we utilize our decades of expertise to uncover overlooked and underutilized real estate assets. With strategic planning and efficient execution, we transform these hidden gems into highly lucrative investments. Our unique approach delivers substantial returns while minimizing risk and driving community development.

Through two recent case studies, we demonstrated our specialized capabilities in identifying untapped potential and unlocking full asset value:

Transforming an Underperforming PNC Bank Property into a $3 Million Profit


In 2011, we acquired a 65,000-square-foot PNC Bank office complex in Clarendon Hills, Illinois, for $5.67 million. While overlooked on the market, we recognized the vacant 40,000-square-foot office building could be transformed into a valuable asset.

Leveraging our expertise, we devised a strategic redevelopment plan to divide and polish the property. We demolished the connecting skywalk to enable separate ownership. After signing a 10-year PNC lease, we sold the assets within 120 days for $8.84 million, generating a $3.17 million gross profit.

This showcases our ability to uncover hidden gems and efficiently execute enhancements to unlock significant value while minimizing cost and risk.

Strategically Repurposing a Former Chase Bank into a High-Performance Convenience Store


We also seized a unique opportunity when we acquired a former Chase Bank in New Lenox, Illinois, for $1 million. Identifying the potential to convert the property into a modern convenience store and quick-serve restaurant, we methodically redesigned the site to optimize these new uses.


Through strategic planning and efficient execution, we redeveloped the property and partnered with British Petroleum to ground lease the convenience store site long-term. This increased the asset value to $2.8 million, providing a $1.8 million return without vertical construction risk.


This demonstrates our expertise in recognizing untapped potential and strategically enhancing assets to deliver strong value appreciation and community impact.
