NHL’s Patrick Kane Sells Chicago Trump Tower Condo at Loss

Former Chicago Blackhawks player Patrick Kane sold his condo in Chicago’s Trump Tower at a loss of nearly $1 million.

The three-bedroom, 3,100-square-foot unit on the 69th floor of the Trump International Hotel & Tower sold for $2.11 million on March 27, Crain’s reported. The price amounts to $990,000 less than Kane paid for the property in 2016.

The condo was listed for sale in May 2024, initially priced at $3 million, with subsequent price reductions bringing it down to $2.5 million. Chezi Rafaeli of Coldwell Banker Realty brokered for Kane and the buyer in the deal.

It’s likely the condo was not Kane’s primary residence, as he owns at least three other properties in the Chicago area and currently plays for the Detroit Red Wings. His other holdings include a $5 million mansion in Lake Forest, which he purchased about a year before selling the Trump Tower unit.

Kane also owns a two-bedroom condo on the 33rd floor of the Trump Tower, bought in 2008 for $2.08 million, and another condo on Walton Street, purchased for $6.46 million in 2019. Those properties have not been publicly listed for sale.

Kane sold his summer home on Lake Erie in Hamburg, New York, for $2.5 million in 2019.

The Trump Organization’s tower in Chicago faces a federal lawsuit alleging financial mismanagement, as well as a ruling that calls the building a public nuisance. President Donald Trump himself is accused in another lawsuit by a watchdog group that he lied in federal disclosures about a $50 million loan tied to the building at 401 North Wabash Avenue. The environmental concerns involve allegations of pollution in the Chicago River.

Kane debuted with the NHL’s Blackhawks in 2007, helping lead the team to three Stanley Cup championships in 2010, 2013, and 2015. In 2017, he was named one of the NHL’s 100 greatest players of all time.

After his trade to the New York Rangers in 2023, Kane was regarded by some as the greatest Blackhawk ever, with a 2023 Chicago Sun-Times poll showing 48 percent of respondents holding that opinion.
