R. Kelly’s Chicago studio at 219 N. Justine is listed for sale for nearly $4.5 million by the current owner, Wisconsin-based Midwest Commercial Funding LLC. The West Loop studio space, outfitted with window bars and surveillance cameras, is also the place where the R&B star has allegedly kept an entourage of women (other reporting has used the words “cult” or “harem”) confined during his stints in the city.
The two-story, 8,000-square-foot building is listed as an “investment property with a high profile tenant paying $22,927.41 per month” and holding a ten-year lease with eight years left. The listing also boasts of a “fully built out recording studio, lounge and full kitchen, rear drive-in-door with 1 car garage.”
