Former Chicago Bulls small forward and shooting guard DeMar DeRozan on Wednesday placed his six-bedroom, 10,179-square-foot, Georgian-style mansion in Chicago’s River North neighborhood on the market for $6.25 million.
DeRozan, 35, signed a three-year $85 million contract with the Bulls in August 2021. He starred with the team for three years — including two All-Star selections — before leaving the team as a free agent in 2024 and signing with the Sacramento Kings.
In River North, DeRozan paid $4.5 million in 2021 through an opaque Delaware limited liability company to buy the mansion from an opaque land trust whose beneficiary was Juanita Vanoy Jordan, the former wife of Bulls legend Michael Jordan. Juanita Vanoy Jordan’s land trust had purchased it as a newly built home for $4.72 million in 2007.
Based on listing information, DeRozan extensively renovated the mansion, which has six full bathrooms, three half bathrooms, four fireplaces, a five-stop elevator, a recreation and billiard room, a theater room, a wine cellar, a library, a heated three-car garage and a roof deck that measures 27 feet by 70 feet, with an outdoor kitchen and grill and fireplace.
The mansion also is being offered for rent for $22,000 a month.
Listing agent Paul Gorney of eXp Realty did not respond to a request for comment.
The mansion had a $94,946 property tax bill in the 2023 tax year.
