Agency Leasing team selected to lease marquee office park in Westchester, Ill.
CHICAGO – November 29, 2016 – CBRE has been retained by Equity Office to lease the five-building, 1.15 million-square-foot Westbrook Corporate Center in Westchester, Ill.
Pete Adamo, Josh Robbins and Tara Torbik of CBRE’s Oak Brook office will handle the leasing assignment.
Located at 22nd Street and Wolf Road, just east of Oak Brook, Ill., the 1.15-million-square-foot Westbrook Corporate Center is currently 83 percent leased and hosts anchor tenants such as Follett Corporation and Ingredion.
“This is one of the most prominent office centers in the western suburbs,” said CBRE’s Robbins. “With the investments that Equity Office has already made, along with the additional capital planned, Westbrook Corporate Center will continue to be a top destination for businesses seeking quality space in the suburbs.”
Equity Office has recently implemented several upgrades to the office park, with significant investments and capital improvements in main lobbies, conferences facilities and its fitness center. Ownership is also developing multiple spec suites that will range from 2,000-to-6,000 square feet. The suites are slated to be completed early next year.
The East-West Corridor has remained one of the strongest suburban markets. According to CBRE Research, the overall vacancy rate has decreased 50 basis points from this time last year, while overall asking rates have increased 1.6 percent year-over-year.
“With the access to talent and strong concentration of corporate users, the East-West Corridor remains one of the preferable locations in the Chicago area to do business,” said Robbins.
