New Southtown Investments is an Illinois LLC with over a decade of experience acquiring underutilized land in the south suburban Chicago region. We are currently targeting strategically located vacant properties, then approach owners directly, and see every transaction through to closing — regardless of the complications involved.
Learn About Us →We don't wait for listings or rely on brokers to bring us deals. We identify the properties we want to acquire through our own research — and when we approach an owner, we have already done our homework on the parcel.
That means the conversation we have with you is an informed one. We are not fishing. We are not making a speculative offer to see what happens. When we come to the table, we come with a clear interest in your property — and a clear intent to close.
Every transaction we enter into is structured around the realities of the property and the circumstances of the owner. No two deals are identical, and we don't treat them that way.
Before any conversation, we have thoroughly reviewed the property — its history, its condition, its encumbrances. We come prepared so you don't have to explain what you already know.
You will be dealing with the decision maker. No layers of approval, no committee review. We tell you what we can do and why, and we stand behind it.
Delinquent real estate taxes, title clouds, environmental questions — these are factors we build our offer around, not obstacles we use to walk away. We've navigated all of it before.
When we commit, we follow through. We coordinate the title work, manage the process, and see the transaction to completion. Our track record of closing is the foundation of our reputation.
We focus exclusively on vacant and underutilized parcels in the south and southwest suburbs of Cook County. The properties we pursue are ones that most buyers would pass on — and that's precisely why we pursue them.
Years of unpaid property taxes don't disqualify a site for us. We understand the Cook County tax system and structure our offers accordingly.
Old liens, estate complications, unclear chains of ownership — we work with experienced title professionals and take on the complexity ourselves.
Prior industrial or commercial use, known or suspected contamination — we factor these into our underwriting rather than using them as a reason to exit.
Narrow strips, odd-shaped parcels, remnant lots with no obvious development path — size and shape are not the criteria we lead with.
Properties that have sat unused for years, with no realistic near-term development prospect, are exactly the kind of situation we evaluate.
Parcels without direct frontage or with access complications are worth a conversation. We assess each site on what it is, not what it isn't.
We are not a wholesaler. We are not assigning contracts to an unknown third party. When we enter into an agreement with you, we are the buyer — and we remain the buyer through closing.
Some of the transactions we pursue have timelines that extend beyond a standard 30-day close. There are good reasons for that, and we explain them plainly. What doesn't change is our obligation and our intent.
We have built our business over ten years by doing what we say we're going to do. In a region where many owners have seen deals fall apart before, that track record is something we take seriously.
New Southtown Investments LLC was organized in Illinois and has been actively acquiring vacant and underutilized land in the south suburban Chicago area for over ten years. We are not a national fund, a private equity vehicle, or an out-of-state operator. This region is where we work, and it is where we have built our track record.
We understand the particular dynamics of these communities — the tax structures, the title histories, the way property values have shifted over decades, and the specific challenges that come with land in areas that have seen long-term disinvestment. That knowledge is not something we acquired from a consultant. It comes from a decade of working here.
The properties we pursue are ones that most buyers overlook or walk away from. We take a long-term view of this region and acquire land with that perspective in mind.
If we've reached out to you, it means we have identified your property as one we want — and we are prepared to make that case directly.
We don't use a call center or a contact form as the front door to our business. If you've been approached by us, or if you'd simply like to verify who we are and confirm we're a real, established company — reach us directly.
We are an Illinois LLC in good standing, operating continuously in the south suburban Cook County area for over a decade. We are happy to answer any questions about who we are, how we operate, and what working with us looks like.
We operate with discretion and take every conversation seriously.
New Southtown Investments LLC is an Illinois limited liability company. We are not a licensed real estate broker and do not represent buyers or sellers in a brokerage capacity. We acquire property for our own account.
