Chicago Fire defensive midfielder Mauricio Pineda in June paid $680,000 for a two-bedroom, 1,111-square-foot condominium on the 26th floor of a 41-story tower in the Loop’s Southbank development.
A Bolingbrook native, Pineda, 28, has played for the Fire since 2020. In the Loop, Pineda bought the condo from the building’s developer. The unit has two bedrooms, floor-to-ceiling windows, wide-plank hardwood floors and a custom kitchen with quartz countertops, a tile backsplash and Bosch panel appliances.
The unit had been listed for $640,000 and sold less than a month later for $680,000. The purchase price included one parking space.
Giancarlo Chavez, the agent who represented Pineda in the deal, declined to comment.
Pineda is not the only Fire player, past or present, recently involved in the area residential real estate market. Former Fire midfielder Kellyn Acosta in January placed his six-bedroom, 6,600-square-foot mansion in Oak Brook for sale for $2.4 million. Acosta, who plays for a team in Poland, now has a contract pending to sell the home.
