Newmark Grubb Knight Frank (NGKF) represented Market6 in the leasing of 14,500 square feet at 500 Lake Cook Road (Corporate 500) in Deerfield, Illinois. Market6 signed the lease following NGKF’s strategic analysis of suitable local options for the company’s new headquarters.
Founded in 2006, Market6 is a leading provider of web-based retail collaboration applications. Relocating from 9 Parkway North Blvd. in Deerfield, the firm also maintains an office in Cincinnati, Ohio. In 2014, Market6 was named number six on Crain’s Chicago Fast Fifty list and was also ranked on Inc. Magazine’s Inc. 500, an annual list of the fastest growing private companies in the United States. Due to the firm’s rapid growth and the need for additional space, Market6 selected NGKF to assist in finding the firm a larger space for its headquarters.
NGKF’s Brian Reaney, director, and Paul Buckingham, senior managing director, represented Market6 in the search for its new offices, ultimately securing space at Corporate 500 based on its location, proximity to public transportation and ability to meet the firm’s square footage requirements. Market6 will take occupancy of the new Class A office space in March of 2015.
“Market6 is a dynamic and growing organization and Corporate 500 provided the ideal circumstances for the firm to make a move that will accommodate its growth while also fitting into the company’s overall business plan,” said NGKF’s Reaney. “It also provides them a location within walking distance to the Metra rail lines, which was important to our client.”
Built in 1986, Corporate 500 is a four-building complex in Chicago’s Northern suburbs, offering over 700,000 square feet of Class A office space.
