“Both properties are
located in prestigious Chicago neighborhoods and currently renting at 30
percent below market rates,” said William
Shopoff, chief executive officer of Shopoff Realty Investments.
“There is a shift by employers
moving away from traditional office spaces in the Chicago suburbs to more open,
creative-style offices with character downtown,” said David Placek, executive vice president of Shopoff Realty
Investments.
“With limited loft-style office inventory available, our plan is
to focus on interior improvements and updates with the intention of stabilizing
rents at current market rates.”
