Raymond & Associates has been developing and managing real estate in the Chicagoland and Kenosha regions for more than 40 years. The company began in 1962 when founder and owner Frank Raymond Sr. located his first real estate purchase, which is now part of the Raymond Community Apartments in Evanston, Illinois.

What began as a privately held entrepreneurship today is evolving into a professional real estate management company. Raymond has successfully nurtured its real estate portfolio over the years, which now consists of more than 550,000 square feet of retail space, 300,000 additional planned square feet of retail, 700 apartment/condo units and 70,000 square feet of office space.
