CAROL STREAM, IL—E-commerce fulfillment firm ShipFusion Inc. of Chicago has signed a lease for a new 381,600-square-foot facility at 365 E. North Ave. here.

Cushman & Wakefield brokered the transaction at the facility that will be home to the company's new flagship operation.

Building features include 36-foot clear heights, cross-docks and high visibility off North Ave.

The new facility will serve as the company's US headquarters, according to Cushman & Wakefield.

ShipFusion was represented by Cushman & Wakefield's Doug Pilcher and Jason West. The property's landlord, Link Industrial Properties, was represented by David Prell and Kevin Segerson of CBRE.

"As online retail continues to grow at a rapid pace, the need for flexible e-commerce fulfillment with strong software grows with it," says Brandon Luft, co-founder at ShipFusion.
