Jules H. Marling III, 83, of Chicago, passed away peacefully on December 8, 2025, after a long illness.

Jules was raised in Libertyville, Illinois, and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a B.A. in Economics from Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, in 1964. He later earned an MBA from Columbia University in New York City, received his MAI designation from the Appraisal Institute, and was a proud member of the Counselors of Real Estate as well as a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

Together with his brother John, Jules played a pivotal role in developing significant commercial real estate projects, including The Residences at Chicago Place and Northfield Plaza in the Chicago area, as well as Westshore 500 in Tampa, Florida. He will be remembered as a bold visionary in his field and a generous, kind-hearted soul with an unwaveringly positive attitude.

Jules is survived by his brothers John and Robert, his sons Jules IV (Jay), Terence, and John Michael, his grandchildren Maya, Kiran, Linus, Sabine, and Aven, and was preceded in death by his daughter Adele.

Private services will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jules' honor may be made to Misericordia Heart of Mercy, 6300 North Ridge Avenue, Chicago, IL 60660, or online at www.misericordia.com/giving.
