Continental Towers Filling Up

ROLLING MEADOWS, IL-Fifth Third Bank claims 94,432 sf, nearly 10% of the three-building complex along the Northwest Tollway, as Prime Group Realty Trust fills up vacancies in the property that has seen a $10-million makeover.

ROLLING MEADOWS, IL-While court battles and a Jan. 9 foreclosure auction may likely determine the future direction of the Chicago-based REIT, Prime Group Realty Trust has been busy leasing 140,538 sf at Continental Towers in this northwest suburb. The biggest new tenant is Fifth Third Bank, which is taking 94,432 sf here as well as at 1699 E. Woodfield Rd. in neighboring Schaumburg.

Although lease terms were not revealed, Prime Group is collecting an average of $13.63 per sf at Continental Towers, much lower than the average rate of $17.73 per sf for leases expiring this year. That would put the annual value of the deals in the neighborhood of $1.9 million to $2.5 million.

Fifth Third Bank plans to relocate 350 employees to Continental Towers, which will become the financial institution’s Chicago area headquarters.
