This acquisition expands Brennan\u2019s Chicago portfolio to 10.5 million square feet.<\/p>\n<p>Situated on a lot of approximately nine acres in the highly sought-after Interstate 55 industrial corridor, the property incorporates 55,000 square feet of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/industrial\/us\/il\/chicago\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chicago industrial space<\/a>. It also offers premier access to regional and national transportation routes and benefits from its infill location within one of the most active industrial submarkets in the metro.<\/p>\n<p>Located within close proximity of key transportation infrastructure, including interstates 55 and 355, the property provides efficient connectivity to the greater Chicago metropolitan area and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Property features are up to modern industrial specifications, including 25-foot clear heights, six dock-high doors, two drive-in doors, heavy power, and excess land that can be used as auto or trailer parking. These are all benefits that the current tenant\/former owner of the property is well aware of.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis acquisition represents a strategic \u2018bolt-on\u2019 to our growing I-55 portfolio,\u201d said Dan Smith, senior vice president at Brennan Investment Group. \u201cThe combination of in-place tenancy, functional building design and infill location allows us to continue building scale in one of the most desirable industrial corridors in the country. This was a natural fit within our broader Chicago portfolio and a compelling opportunity to create additional value over time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The acquisition was structured as a sale-leaseback with business process automation company Impact Networking, LLC, which is set to remain in the building under a long-term lease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Chicago industrial market continues to demonstrate resilience and long-term demand drivers, particularly in infill submarkets like Bolingbrook,\u201d said Jack Brennan, managing principal of Brennan Investment Group.\u00a0\u201cThis investment aligns with our strategy of acquiring high-quality assets with strong tenants in supply-constrained locations, and we are pleased to expand our footprint in a market where we have deep experience and conviction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to data analyzed for CommercialCaf\u00e9\u2019s monthly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/national-industrial-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">national industrial real estate report<\/a>, Chicago industrial sales that closed during the first four months of the year surpassed $1 billion. In fact, industrial real estate changing hands here from the start of the year through April amounted to the second-largest total in the Midwest and fifth-largest nationwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company increased its portfolio to nearly 11 million square feet of industrial real estate in Chicago, with the sale-leaseback
