Franklin Partners has solidified leases that will occupy over 164,388 square feet at The Shuman, a five-story office building located at 263 Shuman Boulevard in Naperville, Illinois.
“Without a doubt, COVID-19 presented obstacles for us in 2020,” said Franklin Partners managing partner, Ray Warner. Fortunately, we were able to remain on schedule, delivering each space on time for our tenants, amid the pandemic. This was largely in part from the support and assistance from Mayor Steve Chirico, Christine Jefferies and the city of Naperville building department.”
Executed leases include Brown & Brown Insurance, 10,238 square feet; Derick Dermatology: 9,076 square feet; Philadelphia Insurance: 22,852 square feet; 3WON: 9,879 square feet; Securitas Electronic Security, Inc.: 5,028 square feet; SkyBridge / Law Offices A.E. Gustafsson, P.C.: 5,777 square feet; Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated: 8,363 square feet and CIMC Capital: 1,565 square feet. There are approximately 150,000 square feet remaining in the class A asset.
“As companies look to rebuild culture and collaboration post-pandemic, a welcoming, activated, amenity-rich environment like The Shuman is proving to be attractive,” said Colliers International listing agent, Francis Prock.
Launched in September 2019, the Shuman addresses an unmet demand for a highly social, tech-equipped workplace in Chicago’s suburbs. Franklin Partners delivered an amenity-rich, office experience that created a flight to quality for corporate office users almost immediately securing leasing commitments in 2019 and through 2020.
