Many have tried to be the next Michael Jordan, but if you truly want to “Be Like Mike,” his palacial Highland Park, IL estate will be on sale to the highest bidder on November 22.
“I have so many amazing, happy memories of my life in the house over the years,” Jordan says. “It’s where my kids grew up. It’s where I lived during my championship years. I still have business interests in Chicago, including my restaurants, and Chicago will always have a piece of my heart. It’s a special place with incredible people, who embraced me from the day I arrived. But my kids are grown now and I don’t need a large house there anymore.”
The Jordan’s 56,000-square-foot estate, which is also known as Legend Point, covers 7.39 acres and has a regulation-size NBA-quality basketball court, a pool pavilion, tennis court, putting green, nine bedrooms and 15 full and four half bathrooms.
Knowing he needed pro teammates to create the best selling opportunity for such a unique property, Jordan has enlisted Concierge Auctions to handle the sale. “Many of the world’s most desirable items are sold at auction, and Concierge Auctions is the hands down leader when it comes to auctioning one-of-a-kind real estate,” added Jordan. “By working with them, I know that on November 22nd, the day of the auction, my house will have been seen by a worldwide audience, and I'll have a sale with a closing in 30 days.”
“Mr. Jordan hired us because he understands the benefits of the auction process for selling incomparable assets, says Laura Brady, President of Concierge Auctions. “The value of Legend Point not only lies in its history as his long-time residence but also in every unique facet of the property — the quality of design, extensive amenities and sheer size of the estate. While there is no pre-set minimum or reserve, buyers will have the ability to submit opening bids with their registrations. The ultimate selling price will simply be determined by the bidders on auction day.”
