NILES, IL-Summit Design + Build LLC has begun $2 million in renovations to a 48,326-sf office building, which will house Advantage Freight Network’s new corporate headquarters. Construction began earlier this month on the single-story property, which sits on 4.3 acres at 7230 N. Caldwell Ave. The logistics company will relocate to the building, located on Caldwell Avenue just north of Touhy Avenue, in January 2009 from its current headquarters in Deerfield.

“We’re completely gutting and converting the existing, older office building into their new office space to meet their needs,” Adam Miller, president of Summit, tells GlobeSt.com. “They were looking for a building that was very flexible and had a lot of space and parking on site. They looked at a lot of other buildings in the area and at building a new building, and this was the most economical choice for them.”

The design of the remodeled building will offer AFN a glass atrium entrance to the space, which will include huddle, conference and training rooms, private offices, an executive board room, and an open office area. Once renovated, the facility will also offer a heated parking garage and parking lot for an additional 200 cars, an outdoor grilling area, and a workout facility, including locker rooms, a steam room and shower area. Cornerstone Architects Ltd. provided design services on the project.
