Newmark has been appointed as the exclusive leasing agent for a 186,000-square-foot industrial spec development at 1365-1395 Brewster Creek Boulevard within the Brewster Creek Business Park, a 486-acre master-planned industrial park in Bartlett, Illinois. The Groundbreaking for the new facility took place late last month with completion expected for Fourth Quarter 2017. Newmark’s Senior Managing Director Elise Couston, SIOR represents the contract purchaser, Barings Real Estate Advisers, acting on behalf of an institutional investor. The firm’s Senior Managing Director Adam Marshall, SIOR, CCIM and Director Mark Deady, CCIM represents the seller, Ridge Development, the industrial development arm of Transwestern Development Co.
“Barings is seeking to invest in high quality, state-of-the-art, newly-constructed industrial assets with proximate access to the Elgin O’Hare Expressway, which will also benefit from the DuPage submarket’s strong demand and low vacancy. We are confident that this property will provide a solid return for our client,” said Pam Boneham, managing director at Barings. Couston added, “Available for pre-lease as a single or multi-tenant facility, Ridge Brewster Creek II, is an ideal location for light manufacturing, food processing, and warehouse-distribution users looking for brand new space in a well-located business park that can be finished to suit their functional requirements.”
Once completed, Ridge Brewster Creek II will be a 186,000-square-foot state-of-the-art, industrial building, located at the intersection of Stearns and Munger Roads just west of Route 59. The 10.5-acre site features proximity to Interstates 90 and 390, as well as O’Hare International Airport. The new building will feature 32’ clear ceiling heights, 50’-by-50’ column spacing, ductilcrete floors, an ESFR sprinkler system, up to 35 exterior docks, two grade-level doors, and parking for 224 cars. The property will also offer dedicated, off-building trailer parking.
