Realterm acquires 181,025 SF final mile warehouse in Chicago

Realterm announced the acquisition of a 181,025-square-foot highly functional final mile warehouse located at 7001 S. Harlem Avenue, Bedford Park, Illinois. The 13.74-acre property features 28 loading positions, 5,000 square feet of office space and a 5,000-square-foot shop.

“Chicago is a premier market for industrial real estate and a national intermodal logistics hub,” said Ed Brickley, Managing Director and Senior Fund Manager, Realterm. “As Chicago’s industrial sector continues to post historically low vacancy rates, we are pleased to add this strategic investment to our portfolio, and we look forward to continuing to invest in similar properties across the country.”

Located 15 miles south of downtown Chicago in the highly sought-after Bedford Park industrial submarket, the facility offers close proximity to I-55 and I-294, providing users convenient access to Chicago and its regional markets. Additionally, the property is six miles from Chicago Midway International Airport, 25 miles from O'Hare International Airport and three miles from the Belt Railway, the largest intermediate switching terminal railroad in the U.S.

“As Chicago’s industrial market continues to see record levels of demand and as ecommerce fuels continued growth, the combination of the property’s size, location and features make it desirable to a host of occupiers,” said Rob Moriarty, Associate Vice President, Central Region Acquisitions, Realterm.

Highlights of the property include:
Currently available for lease, the facility is ideal for use by food and beverage groups and parcel and trucking companies or as a third-party logistics warehouse.
