Our Mission

GKP Properties is a family-owned real estate firm committed to restoring affordable housing in underserved neighborhoods. We believe safe, stable homes are the foundation for stronger communities — and that every block deserves investment, care, and respect.

Chicago two-flat restoration

Restore

We rehabilitate residential and mixed-use buildings of all types — improving safety, comfort, and dignity for residents while strengthening entire blocks.

Neighborhood storefront rehab

Revive

We restore mixed-use buildings with first-floor retail and upstairs housing — helping small businesses return to local corridors and supporting economic renewal.

Community investment

Reinvest

We hire local contractors, support minority-owned trades, and reinvest revenue directly back into Chicago’s working-class neighborhoods.

About Our Mission

Since 1999, GKP Properties, Inc. has been committed to revitalizing Chicago’s neighborhoods through affordable housing, responsible ownership, and long-term community partnerships. Our team believes every resident deserves a safe, dignified place to call home — and every block deserves the chance to thrive.

By acquiring and restoring multifamily and mixed-use buildings throughout Chicago’s South and West Sides, we help preserve the city’s architectural heritage while creating modern, affordable living spaces for working families. Our reinvestment approach focuses on stability, local hiring, and improving quality of life — not short-term turnover.

With partnerships spanning the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA), Housing Authority of Cook County (HACC), and several local nonprofits, we continue to expand access to affordable housing while strengthening community pride and safety. Whether through property rehabilitation, maintenance programs, or local business support, GKP Properties builds more than structures — we build opportunity.
