(CHICAGO) – Hines, the international real estate firm, is pleased to announce that Hines Global Income Trust, Inc. (“Hines Global”) has acquired the first of four buildings in the Bradley Business Center, a 97% leased, 23-acre mixed-use campus located in the supply-constrained North Center submarket of Chicago.
Bradley Business Center campus is comprised of four buildings totaling 467,000 square feet. This mixed-use acquisition provides great flexibility to tenants, who currently use the buildings for a variety of uses, including medical office, industrial and recreation, among others. Its centrally located site offers convenient highway access and close proximity to Chicago’s affluent North Side neighborhoods. Hines Global acquired 2500 West Bradley Place with a final closing on the balance of the property to occur in the near future.
“These facilities benefit from a diverse mix of tenants who have a long track record of successfully serving local and regional demand,” said Matt Bailey, director at Hines.
“We view this as long-term strategic real estate and are pleased to add the property to Hines’ footprint in Chicago. We look forward to furthering the Center’s status as a successful neighborhood anchor,” added Will Renner, managing director at Hines.
Janice Walker, chief operating officer of Hines Global added, “Bradley Business Center is a strong addition to Hines Global’s diverse portfolio. This well-located site is poised to further strengthen Hines Global’s resilient income profile.”
Hines Global is diversified by geography and real estate asset class, with a focus on dynamic sectors and markets. This mixed-use acquisition joins a portfolio that is roughly 75% weighted toward the industrial and living sectors and is valued at over $2.4 billion.
Cushman & Wakefield, led by Cody Hundertmark, Tom Sitz and David Knapp, served as broker for the transaction.
