“There has been a growing trend over the past few years towards medtail properties, which are traditional retail assets anchored by healthcare tenants ranging from flagship health systems to local / regional operators that want to be more in sight / in mind for their consumer,” Sharrin said.

 

“The defensive nature of the healthcare industry makes these assets extremely attractive to a variety of investors and we continue to see more and more of this subtype emerge across the U.S.”

 

 

“This property’s prime location in the Vernon Hills retail corridor and its best-in-class anchor tenant, Northwestern Medicine, presented a compelling investment opportunity,” said Christian Whipple, CEO, Elliott Bay Capital Trust.

“We are excited to be part of a market that is experiencing dynamic growth and redevelopment, particularly with the transformative Hawthorn Mall mixed-use project adjacent to the property. 


"This acquisition not only reflects our strategic approach to identifying high-value assets but also reinforces our confidence in the future of this vibrant submarket of Chicago.”

 

“We are proud of the completed project and believe it reflects strong collaboration with the village board,” added Larry Powers, Centrum Realty & Development.

 

 “We value our relationship with Northwestern Medicine, and it was important to us that the next owner of this property understood the needs of medical office. From the onset of our discussions, it was clear that Christian had the ideal background and expertise to own and manage this asset.”

Completed in 2016, Hawthorne Commons is a two-story building featuring a mix of medical, retail and restaurant offerings. The property is 88% leased to eight tenants, including anchor tenant Northwestern Medicine, T-Mobile and Uncle Julio’s Mexican Restaurant.

 

The property sits on a 2.86-acre site at 850 N Milwaukee Ave. in an affluent North Shore community of Chicago where the average household income is approximately $153,000. Hawthorne Commons is positioned at a highly visible intersection seeing more than 61,000 cars per day and is within a dominant retail corridor of Vernon Hills.

 

Within a one-mile radius of Hawthorn Commons there is more than four million square feet of institutionally owned Class A retail, including Mellody Farms and Hawthorn Mall, which see more than six million visitors per year and drive exceptional traffic to the property. The immediate area has also seen a surge of residential development with close to 1,000 new units being delivered or under construction.
