Luxury real estate watchers are taking note of a high-profile North Side closing. Shannon Abloh, widow of the late designer Virgil Abloh, has sold the couple’s longtime Lincoln Park residence in a multimillion-dollar transaction that underscores continued demand for marquee homes in Chicago’s most coveted neighborhoods.
The Burling Street property, located in the heart of Lincoln Park, sold for about $6 million after hitting the market earlier this year. According to the TheRealDeal, Abloh is planning her next chapter close to home, with plans to build a new residence nearby.

The stately single-family home sits on one of Chicago’s most prestigious residential blocks and offers a mix of classic architecture and modern luxury. The property features multiple levels of living space, high-end finishes and expansive entertaining areas designed for both family life and hosting.

The Ablohs purchased the home years before Virgil Abloh’s meteoric rise in fashion and design. He became globally known as the founder of Off-White and later served as artistic director of menswear at Louis Vuitton before his death in 2021. The Lincoln Park residence served as the family’s Chicago base throughout his career.
The sale places the home among Chicago’s notable luxury transactions this spring, highlighting the resilience of the city’s high-end housing market. Prime neighborhoods continue to attract affluent buyers seeking historic homes with modern amenities in walkable, central locations.
While the Abloh family has deep Chicago ties, the move signals a fresh start nearby as a new home takes shape and the Burling Street property begins its next chapter with new owners.
