4180 N. Marine Drive

The W&D Milwaukee capital markets team led by Dean Huber and Brien Martin arranged the deal on behalf of client Rany Management and lender Prime Finance.

“The property was refinanced because [Rany Management] wanted to have full control over the building,” Huber told the Chicago Business Journal.

About $2M of the financing will be used for upgrades to the property, including a rooftop deck and a ground-floor fitness room. There is no set date for construction to begin.

SALES

DarwinPW Realty/CORFAC International Principal Matt Lewandowski led a group of investors in their purchase of about 27 acres and three buildings totaling 68K SF at 29870 N. Skokie Highway in Lake Bluff. The space is home to functional industrial buildings, trailer parking and industrial outdoor storage. The land’s three industrial buildings are fully leased to 11 tenants.

An end user looking to expand its operations in the submarket ultimately purchased the 24K SF building at 160 Scott St. in Elk Grove Village. Brown Commercial Group Broker Candace Scurto represented the seller, a private investor, while Vice President of Sales Mason Hezner represented the buyer, GP Glass Company.
