Blue Star Properties is a Chicago-based commercial real estate company known for the acquisition and revitalization of urban retail, office, and mixed-use properties in and around Chicago.

Craig Golden established Blue Star in 2008 with the goal of pursuing a wider range of projects after co-founding Sterling Bay in the late 1980’s.

Along with more traditional commercial real estate endeavors, Craig has cleverly incorporated his love for music and dining into the company.

Blue Star is currently involved in a variety of restaurants and music venues throughout the city of Chicago.

Since first opening its doors in 2008, Blue Star has renovated more than thirty office, retail and industrial properties, breathing new life into all of the company’s acquisitions.

With a passion for redeveloping older structures to fit in a modern workplace, Blue Star’s portfolio contains nearly two million square feet of commercial space.

Blue Star is a full-service commercial real estate company responsible for the management, leasing, construction, design and activation of its properties. Providing services in-house allows Blue Star to be more efficient, nimble and creative than other commercial real estate firms.

Passionate for transforming classic structures into modern workplaces, Blue Star focuses on revitalizing office, retail, and industrial properties to create true custom workplaces throughout the City of Chicago.
