Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to expand his footprint beyond the basketball court, this time through a major real estate acquisition in Chicago.
According to commercial real estate data obtained by Black Enterprise, a family-run company tied to the Milwaukee Bucks superstar recently paid more than $21 million for a newly constructed apartment building on the city’s North Side.
The property, known as Harmony Apartments, was completed in 2024 and features 56 residential units spread across four stories. The building sits roughly 85 miles from Fiserv Forum, where Antetokounmpo currently plays his home games as part of the Milwaukee Bucks.
The purchase was made through Ante, a company founded and operated by Antetokounmpo and his brothers—Thanasis, Kostas, and Alex. Essex Realty Group handled the sale, while Old National Bank provided an $11 million loan, according to transaction records.
This Chicago purchase is the latest move in a busy stretch for Ante. Over the past several months, the company has invested more than $69 million across multiple residential properties, totaling 186 apartment units in Chicago, Wisconsin, and Brooklyn.
In October 2025, Ante acquired The Atwater, a 39-unit apartment building in Shorewood, Wisconsin, for $11.75 million. One month later, the company added another Wisconsin property to its portfolio with the purchase of The Emerson, a 41-unit building in Madison, for $11.6 million.
The company has also made a significant push into New York City. In November 2025, Ante purchased two neighboring apartment buildings in Brooklyn’s Prospect Lefferts Gardens neighborhood for approximately $25.2 million. The properties, collectively known as The Lawrence, comprise 50 residential units.
Ante was launched in 2023 with a stated mission to manage a global portfolio that spans business ventures, investments, and brand holdings. When the company was announced, it described its scope as extending well beyond real estate.
That vision expanded further in 2024 with the launch of Improbable Media, a production and brand strategy company co-founded by the Antetokounmpo brothers and former NBA guard and ESPN analyst Jay Williams.
