Grubb & Ellis Represents Shorewood Properties in Completion of Elgin, IL Industrial Development

ROSEMONT,IL– Grubb & Ellis Company (NYSE: GBE), a leading real estate services and investment firm, represented Shorewood Properties in the successful completion of its four-building, 160,000-square-foot industrial development on Scottsdale Court, (site map top left) located off of Tollgate Road near the I-90/US-31 interchange in Elgin.


Bruce Granger, (top right photo) senior vice president, Industrial Group, secured interest from Northgate Technology Inc. in a 34,000-square-foot build-to-suit facility, which is expected to be completed this year.


Northgate, a growing medical technology manufacturing company, is currently located in 14,500 square feet of space at 600 Church Road in Elgin.

“We’re pleased to have completed the park considering the current market,” said Jim Origer, owner of Shorewood Properties. “Additionally, the fact that the tenant is staying in the vicinity makes it a great win for Elgin.”

Granger added, “With its superior transportation access, Elgin is a great user market. We’re proud to have been involved in the development’s leasing and disposition activities.”

Shorewood acquired the 17 acres of land off of Tollgate Road from Flender Corp., now part of Siemens Energy and Automation, Inc., in early 2000.

The investor then built Scottsdale Court to enhance access to the four-building park, which includes 50,000- and 38,000-square-foot multi-tenant buildings, a 38,000-square-foot single-tenant building and the 34,000-square-foot facility to be occupied by Northgate Technology.


Other users in the development include Owens Corning, Park Supply, ID Graphics, MPR Precision Molding Specialists and Argos Technologies, Inc.
