Brown Commercial Group negotiated one sale and four leases totaling nearly 24,000 square feet involving expanding businesses in Chicago’s west and northwest suburbs.
“We are seeing steady growth in small to mid-sized industrial businesses in the Chicago area and a shortage of space for their needs,” said Dan Brown, president of Brown Commercial Group. “Many businesses are looking for larger or more efficient space that will allow them to tap into their customers and continue to grow.”
Brown represented the building owner, a private investor, and Brown Commercial Group broker, Pat Crowley, represented the tenant, Mrneio LLC, in a 4,400-square-foot lease at 40 Beach Avenue in LaGrange, Illinois. The auto parts distributor is expanding into a larger space.
