Jared Shlaes Obituary
A ground-breaking developer of housing across the Chicago area, Jared teamed with leading architects to build developments such as Kenwood Gardens, Lake Village East, and Eugenie Lane. A pioneering appraiser and counselor, Jared defined the valuation of transferable development rights, easement donations, and air rights, trained a generation of counselors and appraisers, and was an authoritative and sought-after expert witness.
In lieu of flowers, Jared's family welcomes donations to either the Smile Train or Planned Parenthood.

A lucid and patient teacher of urban real estate economics to young journalists. Explained once that Wabash and Wells are the most interesting streets in the Loop because overhead El tracks keep the rents low. Accurate. Succinct. Fearless.
