Dwyane Wade Buys Chicago Townhouse [PICS]

August 11, 2009 – Dr. Dime

Even though Chicago is Dwyane Wade’s home town, I bet Pat Riley and the Miami Heat are none too thrilled that the face of their franchise has bought another home in another city. Although its not uncommon for NBA stars to own multiple homes in multiple cities, the Chicago Bulls are one team in particular that has surfaced many times in trade or free agency rumors surrounding Wade. Could be an interesting summer in 2010. But for now, check out the pics of Wade’s new house below. If you want you can compare them to Wade’s old house click here.

Here is what Chicago Magazine had to say about the recent purchase by Wade (via SportsbyBrooks):

List Price: $1,699,000
Sale Price: $1,425,000

The Chicago native Dwyane Wade, a member of the NBA’s Miami Heat and the gold medal–winning 2008 U.S. Olympic basketball team, has bought a four-story riverfront townhouse in Kinzie Park.

Wade and his wife and high-school sweetheart, Siohvaughn Funches, have been locked in an acrimonious divorce fight since 2007. His mother, Jolinda Wade, is a former prison inmate who now has her own ministry, the Temple of Praise, in a building (at 12900 South Halsted Street) that her son bought for her.

The Kinzie Park townhouse is part of a development of former industrial parcels across the river from the East Bank Club that also includes high-rise condos. The townhouses have private yards fronting the river along a shared promenade. Wade bought a 3,900-square-foot unit with a two-car garage and a rooftop deck.
