“We are pleased to announce the development of Union Pointe Building Three and the sizable lease of the building’s first tenant,” remarked Daniel E. Fogarty Jr., Vice President of Conor Commercial Real Estate. “We’re delighted with the caliber of tenants that this prominent business park has attracted and praise the Village of Woodridge for its swift collaboration in securing these types of companies within its community. We look forward to the continued interest of additional tenants as we lease the remaining 121,667 square feet of space within Union Pointe Building Three.” McShane Construction Company and Ware Malcomb are serving as design/builder for the speculative building and tenant improvements.
