July Edition: Who is ready for some good news?

The last sector of commercial real estate to recover from the pandemic has been the office sector. With remote working on the rise, suburban Chicago office buildings have seen a decrease in absorption...until recently. In a new report, "transaction velocity for Chicago-area office properties during the 12 months up to April 2022 surpassed the number of trades recorded in 2019 before the pandemic hit," according to Bisnow.

What does this mean? Well, not only are investors interested in Chicagoland office buildings due to the increased demand, it also means we may see an increase in rental rates in the future. Now is the time to take advantage of optimal rental rates! In fact, at our Poplar Creek listing in Hoffman Estates, we're offering one of (if not) the lowest GROSS rate on the market.
  • $12.50 Gross PSF on as built space only
  • $15.00 Gross PSF for built out space (including $5 per each year of term for tenant improvements!)
We look forward to assisting you with your commercial real estate needs.

Optimal Facilities May Combat Nursing Shortage

"Combined with the lower than normal nursing school enrollment and aging baby boomers requiring more care, there is a continued gap for nurses. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) through 2030 that annual gap will be over 195,000 registered nurses...In addition to compensation, an optimized facility could play an important role in retention. "
