Developer Marquette Companies, Chicago Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot and Alderman Water Burnett, Jr. celebrate the ceremonial groundbreaking for two new apartment projects in Fulton Market.

With many lenders and equity investors wary of big, risky apartment projects these days, securing financing wasn't easy for developer Darren Sloniger. “It was probably right up there in the top three of the heaviest lifts of my career,” he says.

Marquette Cos., a multifamily developer with two projects in Houston’s urban core, has purchased land in the Near Northside for its third — a five-story apartment complex along Little White Oak Bayou neighboring the White Oak Music Hall.

2019 proved to be a busy and prosperous year for the Marquette Companies, a Naperville, Ill. based real estate developer, owner and operator. Celebrating its 36th year in business, Marquette completed over $500 million in transactions in 2019, including new development, refinancing, dispositions, recapitalizations and acquisitions.

A partnership of Origin Investments and Marquette Cos. has begun construction on an eight-level apartment midrise.
