FOUNDERS PROPERTIES ACQUIRES CHICAGO-AREA INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY

Founders Properties, a private real estate investment management firm, announced the acquisition of 2400 Commerce Drive, a 128,539-square-foot light manufacturing and distribution facility located in Libertyville, IL. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
​
The property is 100% leased as the corporate headquarters for a single tenant under a long-term agreement. Originally built in 1994 and occupied by the tenant since 2007, the building was expanded in 2013 to accommodate the tenant’s growth needs.
​
“The acquisition of this property underscores our strategy to invest in well-located, stabilized industrial properties in markets with strong fundamentals and high barriers to entry,” said Chris Courneya, Managing Director at Founders. “We have had a long and successful track record investing in the Chicago area and are further strengthening our presence in this market with the addition of 2400 Commerce Drive.”
​
The property is part of Chicago’s desirable Lake County submarket, located at the midpoint of the Chicago-Milwaukee corridor, and accessible to all other major Midwest markets.
