The JLL Capital Markets Investment Sales and Advisory team representing the seller was led by Senior Managing Director Alex Sharrin, Managing Director Keely Polcyznski and Senior Director Michael Nieder.
“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.”
