FEATURED PROPERTY OF THE QUARTER
SECOND QUARTER OVERVIEWThe vacancy rate for Chicago’s industrial market increased by 6 basis points during the second quarter of 2019 to 5.78 percent. Despite this increase, net absorption was positive for the 14th consecutive quarter, totaling 5.2 million square feet during the second quarter of 2019, bringing the year-to-date tally to 9.5 million square feet. Nearly 1.2 million square feet of build-to-suit construction projects were completed in the second quarter, contributing strongly to the positive net absorption recorded during the quarter.
Although the vacancy rate increased, the current rate remains 35 basis points below the rate recorded one year ago during the second quarter of 2018. The main contributors to the vacancy rate increase included vacant speculative construction completions and Sears moving out of its 1.4 million-square-foot facility in suburban Manteno.
Available vacant industrial supply in the Metropolitan Chicago Area totaled 75.1 million square feet, over 600,000 square feet higher than the 74.4 million square feet vacant in the first quarter. The I-55 Corridor and Chicago South submarkets witnessed the largest decreases in vacant supply, while the I-80 / Joliet Area and I-57 Corridor experienced significant increases.
Construction completions totaled 6.2 million square feet among 22 projects during the second quarter of 2019. The largest completion was an 827,000 square-foot speculative facility in Elwood. During the current cycle, speculative development has accounted for 80 percent of the construction activity.

LEE & ASSOCIATESWHO WE ARE...
About UsWith over 60 offices across the US and Canada, the Lee & Associates group of independently owned and operated companies is the largest regional commercial real estate services provider in the United States.
Each Lee & Associates group office represents a broad array of regional, national and international clients, from individual investors and small businesses, to large corporations and institutions.
Lee & Associates clients enjoy a comprehensive range of specialized commercial real estate services including industrial, office and retail property sales and leasing, real estate investment consulting, real estate financing, property acquisition and disposition, tenant representation and relocation, property and portfolio evaluation and market research.
Origin & PhilosophyIn 1979, founder Bill Lee established the first Lee & Associates office, driven by the unique idea to turn real estate brokers into company owners or “shareholders”. Bill Lee’s guiding philosophy was the clients’ interests would be best served by a collective team effort from experienced sales agents who had an ownership stake in the privately-held organization, earned through exceptional performance and ethical practice.
Not merely employees, profit-sharing Lee owner/agents would strive to create a sense of shared responsibility and cooperation throughout the organization, and would encourage an orientation toward long-term client relationships and business solutions.
Since then, Bill Lee’s profit sharing concept has proven enormously successful, and has fueled an explosive growth to include dozens of additional offices throughout the nation.
The Lee AdvantageFast Client Results. As company owners, Lee principals have a vested interest in the swift, successful completion of client assignments and transactions. Our associate brokers continually strive to earn ownership standing, encouraging a coordinated team effort and fast effective results for clients.
Streamlined Personal Service. Each Lee group office is owned and operated by the brokers in that office. Clients deal directly with decision makers, not with an unwieldy corporate bureaucracy like with many of our competitors.
Experience Counts. The average experience of Lee’s principal commercial brokers is 15-20 years. Our unique profit-sharing structure attracts the best people as owner brokers, only those with exceptional skills, confidence and ethical practice.
Long-Term Relationship. Lee & Associates boasts the lowest turnover rate in the industry. Our ownership structure encourages longevity, allowing for long term relationships with clients.
In-Depth Market Knowledge. Each Lee group office is committed to providing the best data and analysis for the market it serves. No other commercial real estate company has made specialized market knowledge and research as central to its business practice.
Business Stability. Since inception, each Lee & Associates group office has been profitable, privately-held and managed by its individual shareholders. Newly formed offices are stable, debt-free operations, with all startup capital funded by shareholders of all offices through Lee’s venture capital group.
Strong National Affiliations. Lee & Associates maintains affiliations with recognized brokers in all major US real estate markets. Lee’s national organization affiliations include: SIOR, NACOR, IFMA, CRE, ICSC , IDRC and CCIM.
