Oak Brook, Ill. – Dec. 13, 2017 – After acquiring a 2.35-million-square-foot industrial portfolio in Chicago earlier this year, Dallas-based Westmount Realty Capital, a commercial real estate development and investment company, has sold one of its Chicago holdings. The 310,775-square-foot warehouse and distribution facility near Midway Airport was acquired by High Street Real Estate Capital.
Andrew Maletich, Executive Vice President with Cawley Commercial Real Estate represented Westmount and High Street in the transaction.
Located at 4404 West Ann Lurie Place, the property was developed in the mid-1970s and modernized in 2010 by the previous owner, KTR Capital. The building is leased to three tenants, including Gold Eagle, BT Wholesale and Southwall Insulating Glass. The building is situated on 21.7 acres within the Crawford Industrial Park, less than one mile from the four-way interchange at I-55 and Pulaski Road. It features 22-foot clear ceilings, 69 truck docks, two drive-in doors and parking for 130 cars. Westmount acquired the property in 2014.
“After fulfilling our investment objective in a three-year time-span, we determined it was an opportune time to work toward the disposition of this asset,” said Cliff Booth, President and CEO of Westmount. “Having amassed a portfolio of 5 million square feet since 2014, we remain committed to and bullish on the Chicago industrial marketplace.”
Westmount’s Chicago portfolio currently includes46 properties totaling 4,675,795 million square feet of space. The occupancy rate of the portfolio is 92.4 percent.
