The building is at the intersection of Busse Road and Thorndale Avenue and is adjacent to the 251,076-sf building at 2701 Busse Rd. The two buildings were constructed by CenterPoint in 1997, says Michael Luecht, president and CEO of ML Realty. His firm bought the 251,076-sf 2701 Busse Rd. as part of a 21 building industrial portfolio, with a total of approximately 1.9 million sf, that was acquired for $122 million from CenterPoint Properties, as previously reported by GlobeSt.com. The building at 2801 Busse Rd. has 30 feet clear heights and 32 exterior dock doors. The building is currently vacant and the building at 2701 Busse Rd. is approximately half-occupied by Kennanetal, with the lease to expire soon, and the other half is occupied by a tenant on a month to month basis. The asking lease rate for the two buildings is $7.25 per sf, net, Luecht tells GlobeSt.com.

The buildings are in the O'Hare submarket and are near the planned western entrance at O'Hare International Airport. "To have two of the best-designed buildings in the O'Hare market, for the long-term, is part of our strategic plan," Luecht says. The properties are also located in DuPage County, which typically has lower real estate taxes than Cook County, he says.
