The property is designed to serve the significant demand for warehousing, assembly, and distribution uses, and was built to a LEED standard.

Scott McKibben, Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Brennan Investment Group stated, “The Chicago Industrial market has demonstrated strong fundamentals, evidenced by 19 consecutive quarters of positive net absorption with the O’Hare market in particular showing elevated levels of absorption. The building’s rapid lease up is a testament to both the quality of the asset and the strength of the market.”

“We were pleased we could provide a best-in-class facility for our tenant,” said Kevin Brennan, Vice President of Acquisitions at Brennan Investment Group. “This facility will support their growth and efficiency due to its proximity to the interstate system and Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.”
