Brown Commercial Group negotiates three sales and two leases in Chicago market

Brown Commercial Group represented buyers, sellers, tenants and building owners in three sales and two leases in the Chicago suburbs, totaling 34,553 square feet.

“We continue to see businesses growing and many are looking to own their own space,” said Dan Brown, president of Brown Commercial Group. “As businesses evaluate their space needs, they are looking for guidance on how to support their operations and make strategic decisions for the long term.”

In the largest sale, Brown Commercial Group senior broker, Mason Hezner, represented Toops LLC in its purchase of the 11,500-square-foot building at 521-531 Bonnie Lane in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. The e-commerce clothing and shoe business was nearly tripling its space in moving from Evanston, Illinois and was looking to own its own space. Brown Commercial Group senior broker, Jim Pietrarosso, represented the seller, Bonnie Lane Building LLC, which will lease back one unit in the two-unit building.

Hezner also represented both the buyer, DCCT Investments, LLC, and the seller, Great Investments, LLC, in the sale of the 10,000-square-foot building at 1601 Brummel Avenue in Elk Grove Village.
