Investment Highlights

Consolidation of three Chicago MSA locations
Formerly leasing space in three Chicagoland locations (Carol Stream, Elk Grove Village, and Bensenville), Pregis' operations in the Subject Property are a consolidation of these facilities and an expansion of total leased square footage.
Known as Pregis' newest paper converting center, production within the Property is focused on the manufacturing of recyclable paper packaging solutions for e-commerce and food grade customers.

Heavy tenant investment into manufacturing build out
Pregis self-funded the majority of its manufacturing infrastructure, including multiple paper processing lines and large stamping machines.
Landlord Funded Work: The only work funded by current ownership was two (2), 40,000-pound dock levelers and the increase of power capacity to 4,000 amps.
The tenant's self-funding of its improvements allowed for a minimal Landlord capital outlay - offering future ownership an attractive, below-market in-place rent.

One of five like-kind facilities in Pregis' network
This Elgin site serves as the company's primary Midwest facility for recyclable paper mailer production, and joins four other mailing facilities serving distinct regions.
The rise of e-commerce and the shift to paper mailing products from major players like Amazon and Walmart, positions these mailing facilities well for future success. This site in particular is expected to divert an estimated 33,000 tons of waste from landfills as brands transition from plastic alternatives.
