Newmark Grubb Knight Frank (NGKF) has been appointed as the exclusive leasing agent for Ridge Brewster Creek, a 271,200-square-foot, 14-acre, industrial spec development within Brewster Creek Business Park in Bartlett, Illinois. NGKF was hired by the developer, Ridge Development Company, who closed on the land this month, to market and pre-lease the property.
Set for completion in September 2016, Ridge Brewster Creek will feature 32-foot clear ceilings, 36 exterior docks, four drive-in doors and DuPage County property taxes. Once complete, the facility will be divisible by 67,800 square feet and provide 2,500 amp electrical service, trailer parking, T-5 warehouse lighting, an ESFR sprinkler system and office space to-suit. NGKF’s Senior Managing Director Adam Marshall, Executive Managing Director Brian Carroll and Director Mark Deady will lead the brokerage team assigned to lease the new development.
According to NGKF research, the Q4 2015 industrial vacancy rate in the North DuPage submarket was 5.7 percent, which is the lowest rate recorded in the past 10 years.
“There are very few options available right now for companies seeking new and modern construction in DuPage County,” said Marshall. “The Ridge Brewster Creek development is the ideal size and location to satisfy current demand in this submarket. The site will also benefit from the new Illinois Route 390 expressway set to be completed next year, which will provide direct access to I-290/I-355 and O’Hare International Airport, and will eventually connect to I-294 and I-90 when the project is fully completed.”
The development is located within Brewster Creek, a premier 670-acre mixed-use business park. Tenants enjoy many local amenities in Bartlett including restaurants, day care facilities, gas stations, banks, a Metra station, forest preserves and golf courses. Elgin Community College is also located nearby, which provides workforce recruitment and custom training services with grant support from the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO).
