DEALTRACKER

DEKALB, IL—NAI Hiffman's industrial services team recently represented a private owner in a 410,400-square-foot lease renewal for 3M Co. at 1211 Fairview Dr. in Dekalb, IL. The St. Paul, MN-based 3M manufactures and markets a range of tech products and services. It originally occupied the asset in 2007 as a build-to-suit for lease with a term of 10 years. In early 2016, NAI Hiffman's John Cash, executive vice president, along with vice presidents Adam Naparsteck and David Haigh, were retained to negotiate the renewal. They obtained a favorable agreement, company officials say, and extended the lease another five years. The class A industrial asset is a precast building featuring a 32' clear height, T-5 light fixtures, ESFR sprinklers and 178 trailer parking spaces. CRESA's Mike Gordon represented 3M.

WHEELING, IL—Joint-development partners, The Missner Group and Sitex Group, are set to begin a new 84,000 square foot speculative warehouse on a 5.3-acre site at 1075 Chaddick Dr. in suburban Wheeling. “The proximity of the site to O'Hare and the interstate system, as well as its access to a skilled labor force and executive communities, make this a viable project for our portfolio and will make it an attractive option for an industrial user requiring a new, modern facility in a sought-after submarket,” says Barry Missner, chief executive officer of Missner. The 30' clear height development, located near the four-way interchange of Willow Rd. and I-294, lies within the Northeast Cook County submarket of Chicago, making it eligible for Cook County's Class 6B tax incentive status. It will accommodate both small and mid-size users, and be available to a single-user or divisible for up to two tenants.
