When we partner with owners of industrial property – especially in southern parts of Chicago – many times our opinion of value is greater than an appraised value previously obtained. Our experts understand the market and recognize the value of assets even with a limited scope of comparable sale data – much of which are low. This particular building sits on over 1-acre of secured land with nearby access to rail (freight and commuter) and I-90/94. These attributes allowed us to secure a sale price 300% greater than appraised value. The buyer will be occupying the building for their business and will utilize the outdoor storage area for parking. Matthew Knafel and Andrew Gerovasil were the leads on this sale.?
