Building systems
Preventive schedules and vendor coordination for elevators, boilers, pumps, fire and life-safety systems, roofs, façades, garages, and domestic-water infrastructure.
Chicago Building-Type Expertise
High-Rise Condominium Management in Chicago.
High-rises are operating systems, not just collections of units. Stellar coordinates the people, equipment, finances, and board decisions that keep complex Chicago condominium buildings dependable.
Operational Discipline
One accountable management system for a complex building.
Chicago high-rise boards must manage interdependent mechanical systems, employees and contractors, inspections, resident traffic, major projects, and substantial operating and reserve budgets. Our role is to put each responsibility on a visible calendar, assign ownership, document decisions, and give the board an accurate view of what requires attention next.
On-site teams
Clear scopes, supervision, schedules, and escalation paths for door staff, engineers, janitorial teams, and association employees.
Capital planning
Multi-year planning that connects reserve studies, condition reports, competitive bids, owner communication, and board approvals.
24/7 response
A live emergency line, qualified dispatch, incident documentation, and next-business-day reporting to the board.
Financial controls
Board-ready monthly reporting, invoice support, reserve tracking, assessment collection, and approval workflows in AppFolio.
Resident operations
Move coordination, contractor access, amenity rules, service requests, notices, and consistent enforcement for dense communities.
What Boards Receive
Management the board can inspect.
- Dedicated community association manager who knows the building
- Annual operating calendar for inspections, renewals, and preventive work
- Competitive bidding and documented board approvals
- No separate capital-project planning or management-oversight fee
- Illinois condominium-governance and Chicago building requirements
- Board and resident portals with accessible records and work-order tracking
A Controlled Transition
Changing managers without disrupting building operations.
A high-rise transition cannot depend on a folder handoff. Stellar builds a transition register covering bank access, contracts, insurance, employee records, open violations, inspection dates, keys and access systems, resident balances, active projects, litigation coordination, and emergency vendors. Responsibilities are tracked through the first 90 days so nothing critical disappears between management companies.
Boards receive a management scope tailored to the building’s staffing, amenities, equipment, and financial complexity. Pricing is a transparent flat monthly fee starting at $20 per unit—not a percentage of the association budget.
