PROJECT UPDATE (8.27.2015):

In the last 5 weeks, INTERIOR DEMOLITION has been completed. SAW-CUTTING of the existing concrete floor and SANDBLASTING of the interior masonry and steel surfaces to remain was also completed. CONCRETE work followed with the removal of slabs for the new recessed unit exterior entries. MASONRY demolition/preparation work was done concurrently since the space was large enough to accommodate multiple trades. We chose to use a SHORING contractor to work in tandem with the MASONRY contractor to expedite the demolition of the shored brick wall. STEEL beams and columns will replace the shoring once the new CONCRETE footings/piers are poured. Underground PLUMBING has also started.

*MATT”S organizational skills keep all this running efficiently and cost effective.


NEXT…underground PLUMBING continues, STEEL beams/columns are erected, CONCRETE and MASONRY work continue followed by the CARPENTERS framing interior partitions.

PROJECT UPDATE (7.17.2015):

matt and I are on to NEXT.



In 2009, we acquired this 36,000 sq.ft., multi-tenant, mixed-use industrial property. Phase 1 re-purposes a single user 18,000 SF area into (9) “flex-space” units sized 1,515-2,978 SF. There is little available UPDATED inventory of this product in evanston and I frequently get calls for it. Our concept is to offer more space with a lower rent…totally contrary to market trends. Units are designed to accommodate RAPID evolution of a successful start-up business which include office, office + warehouse and light industrial tenants. Several of our existing tenants will be relocating here due to their growing business needs.



AMENITES INCLUDE:



-       off-street parking

-       8’ wide interior service corridor

-       green materials and construction techniques

-       full kitchens and baths

-       individual HVAC systems

-       100 amp / 3 phase / 30 circuit electric panels

-       high-speed internet

-       convenient location close to public transportation

-       multiple units can be combined
