Three industrial buildings sold in Elk Grove Village

Avison Young said Monday that it completed the sale of a 538,236-square-foot, 3-building industrial portfolio in Elk Grove Village near O'Hare International Airport.

The buildings at 1900-2020 Pratt Boulevard are 100 percent leased on a long-term basis. The tenants, Clear Lam and D&W Fine Pack, are national food industry businesses with specialized needs for the buildings they occupy. LBA Realty, an Irvine, California-based investment firm, was the buyer. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Avison Young Principals Erik Foster and Mike Wilson, both based in the company's Rosemont office and members of the firm's National Industrial Capital Markets Group, represented the owner, Mirvac, a Sydney, Australia-based integrated real estate company. The three single tenant buildings are part of a 24-acre portfolio.

"The Chicago industrial market continues to be a top performer, drawing investors because of its strong location and the depth of its supply chain capabilities," Foster said. "With long-term corporate tenancy in place, the new owner can expect solid performance from this portfolio for years to come."

The portfolio is located just off the west entrance of O'Hare International Airport, a premier location for distribution. The portfolio includes three properties: 1900 Pratt Blvd, a 111,338-square-foot building, 1950 Pratt Blvd., a 165,212-square-foot building, and 2000-2020 Pratt Blvd., a 261,686-square-foot building.
