Former Chicago White Sox executive vice president Kenny Williams, who was fired last month after 11 years on the job and another 12 years before that as the team’s general manager, on Thursday listed his three-bedroom condominium on the 29th floor of the Park Tower for $2.95 million.
Williams, 59, played for several Major League Baseball teams, including the Sox, for parts of six seasons. After his playing career ended, he joined the team as a scout in 1992 and worked his way up to the front office. Williams’ wife, Zoraida Sambolin, 58, was an anchor for WMAQ-Channel 5 from 2002 until 2011 and again from 2014 until 2021, and she also spent two years with CNN in New York.
In the Park Tower, Williams and Sambolin’s KZ Trust paid $1.85 million in March 2021 to buy the unit from criminal defense attorney Stuart V. Goldberg. They gut-renovated the condo, which is located in the southeast corner of the building. Features include 2½ bathrooms, an open floor plan, hardwood floors, skyline and lake views, and a kitchen with stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry and a large counter.
Listing agent Philip Skowron declined to comment on the 3,228-square-foot listing.
The condo had a $57,998 property tax bill in the 2021 tax year.
Williams and Sambolin previously owned numerous other homes in Chicago, southwest Michigan and Arizona. In late 2020 they sold their five-bedroom, 8,098-square-foot vintage mansion on the Gold Coast for $4.8 million to Lettuce Entertain You President R.J. Melman and his wife, Katherine. In 2019, they sold their three-bedroom, 3,864-square-foot town home on North Water Street in Streeterville for $2.32 million. In Michigan, they sold their five-bedroom, 7,265-square-foot mansion on Lake Michigan in 2020 for $2.65 million. And they paid $2.7 million in 2020 for a five-bedroom, 6,913-square-foot mansion in Phoenix.
