LOMBARD, IL-Restaurant Depot has signed on to anchor the Landings of Lombard, a shopping center being redeveloped at 1000 N. Rohlwing Road. Restaurant Depot is buying a 66,000-sf condominium in the 204,000-sf shopping center, says Steve Rubin, VP of Midwest Real Estate Equities Inc. The sale is believed to be one of the first condominium sales in a shopping center in the state, Rubin says. “We always try to be creative with our properties as much as possible,” he says.

His company, based in Oak Brook, IL, acquired the shopping center, which was previously called Northgate Plaza, in July 2005 for approximately $9.7 million, sources say. Rubin would not confirm the sales price but said that the total cost for the redevelopment is approximately $12 million. “We thought it was a great location,” Rubin says, adding that it was a “value-add opportunity.”

Buffalo Grove, IL-based Horizon Realty Services Inc. represented Midwest in the sale. Sparton Real Estate and Development, based in Glen Ellyn, IL, represented Restaurant Depot. The business reportedly acquired the 66,000 sf for more than $4 million. Restaurant Depot wanted to locate to the shopping center but wanted to own their parcel, Rubin tells GlobeSt.com. The chain sells equipment to restaurants, non-profit food service providers and business owners, but is not open to the general public.
