"This location is close to their corporate headquarters and main facility at 1101 Taylor Road in Romeoville," says J.D. Salazar, managing principal with Champion Realty Advisors, who represented OHL in the deal. "That allows them to leverage employees and management, so they can shuffle employees to where they need them that day. It's a good use of their labor force."

Asking lease rates at the 10-year-old building are around $3.95 per square foot net. OHL use the space to handle food-related products and other consumer goods, and has the rights to expand into additional space within the building. The remaining 126,000 square feet of the building is occupied by Elkay Manufacturing Co., which has another year remaining on its lease but is currently in the process of moving out and looking to sublease its space.

In March, GlobeSt.com reported on another recent lease by OHL - 106,000 square feet it subleased from Raleigh USA at 555 Remington Blvd. "OHL's business is growing and I've been more active than ever," Salazar tells GlobeSt.com. "Good third party logistics companies are benefiting from manufacturers and other companies trying to cut costs and continuing to outsource distribution. A couple of their big consumer products clients are growing their business with OHL so they have to allocate more space."
