Developer eyes new life for vacant Sangamo Club site

He also knows what it takes for real estate to flourish, and what a living space downtown needs to keep afloat: parking, accessibility to stores and walking distance to the capitol or medical schools. There are multiple empty buildings in downtown to pick from, but Joyner saw potential in the vacant Sangamo Club , purchasing it for $450,000 on Sept. 30 according to the Sangamon County Parcel search under his LLC, Sangamo Lofts LLC. “Things have changed and I don’t know if any dinner club could make it (in 2026),” Joyner said. “It’s the location and the existence of the parking lot, I don’t have any affinity for the building, but this is my job, not a historian – I’m a real estate developer to pay my bills so you look for things that are economic drivers.” The LLC name gives a hint to what Joyner has in mind for the 29,000-square-foot building at 227 E. Adams St.; to turn the location into either 20 or 40
