Home with ties to Anne Dias finds buyer at discount

A home with ties to Billionaire Ken Griffin’s ex wife has sold at a steep decrease from its last sale less than a year ago. 

The home at 2026 North Mohawk Street in Lincoln Park sold for $6.3 million. In late March the property found a buyer after it cut its listing price to $7.8 million. 

The selling price is down 19 percent from its final listing price and 37 percent decrease from its last sale price of $10 million. Despite that, it’s the fourth highest selling price of the year this far in Chicago. 

It’s unclear who the buyer is, and the public listing sites did not have a buyer’s agent listed. Emily Sachs Wong represented the seller and did not respond to a request for comment. Crain’s Chicago Business reported the sale price earlier.

Dias is the founder and CEO of New York-based investment firm Aragon Global Management, a philanthropist as well as the ex-wife of billionaire hedge funder Ken Griffin, who is also in the midst of a selloff of high-end Chicago real estate holdings after moving his company Citadel’s headquarters to Miami along with his family.

The home was listed for sale in October for $9.5 million, a drop from when it last sold for $10 million on July 12, which marked the neighborhood’s priciest deal in 2022, according to Cook County records. The 11,000-square-foot home has seven bedrooms and 11 bathrooms.

The $10 million sale was an anomaly, though. It was respectively bought and sold by limited liability companies Mohawk Partners II and Mohawk Partners. It’s unclear whether that sale was a formality as the the former couple rejigged its real estate holdings or why it was sold and then relisted so quickly for $500,000 less.

Lincoln Park mansion tied to Ken Griffin’s ex goes under contract 

Its most recent owners are not clear from public records since the property changed hands in July, and the home was previously purchased by an LLC for $8.35 million in February 2016. The couple divorced in 2015.

Griffin, Citadel’s CEO, announced in June 2022 he was relocating the firm’s headquarters to Miami, citing Chicago’s issues with crime.
