OAKBROOK TERRACE, IL — NAI Hiffman, the largest independent real estate services firm in the Midwest, announced it has completed a new industrial lease totaling 63,318 square feet, filling a vacant warehouse located on approximately 3.5 acres at 4150 Chandler Drive in Hanover Park, Ill.

Joe Bronson, executive vice president of NAI Hiffman, represented the tenant, EFC International, LLC, a global supplier of specialty engineered fastener products, that is expanding and doubling its space in a relocation of its Chicago office to the Hanover Park warehouse from approximately 34,000 square feet in nearby Bloomingdale.

Josh Will, an NAI Hiffman senior associate, and Aimee Goudas, an NAI Hiffman associate, also represented the tenant.

“EFC International is running a dynamic business in a very competitive industry and due to its extensive growth, the firm is relocating its Chicago office and expanding into a space twice the size of its prior location in Bloomingdale,” said Bronson.

 “There are very few choices available for freestanding office/warehouse space in the Central DuPage market, but we were able to successfully negotiate very favorable lease terms for EFC International.”

Bronson, Will and Goudas negotiated the lease, which commences Feb. 1, 2020 for a term of 63 months, ending on April 30, 2025.

The landlord, Centerpoint Properties, was represented by JLL’s Dominic Carbonari and Sam Durkin.

“Despite the challenge of finding sufficient space for EFC International to expand its operations in such a tight market, NAI Hiffman was able to locate a building suitable for their needs,” Bronson said.

 “The firm has even asked us to sell its current facility in Bloomingdale. 



While smaller than its new facility, it is also freestanding office/warehouse space that is difficult to find in the market, so we know it will sell quickly.”

NAI Hiffman research reported that Chicago’s overall industrial vacancy rate ended the fourth quarter at 5.79%, with 20.6 million square feet of warehouse space under construction at year-end 2019.

Despite the surge in supply, industry demand remains strong, according to the NAI Hiffman data, with new leasing activity totaling 10.58 million square feet in the fourth quarter, including 1.2 million square feet in the Central DuPage submarket alone.

Built in 1992 and situated on 3.58 acres, 4150 Chandler Drive provides 24-foot clear heights, four docks, one drive-in door and 73 parking spaces.

It is centrally located in DuPage County near I-90 and I-355. In addition to its ideal proximity to a highly skilled labor force, the building also provides easy access for distributing goods to Chicago’s MSA of 9.5 million people.
