1 Q2 INDUSTRIAL CHICAGO INDUSTRIAL MARKET OVERVIEW USER SALE ACTIVITY RISES The Metropolitan Chicago Industrial market witnessed an escalation in user sale demand in the second quarter of, driving down the overall vacancy rate to 8.43 percent. Leasing volume and construction deliveries were higher when compared to the prior quarter, while net absorption remained positive. Chicago Metro VACANCY 8.53% 8.43% ABSORPTION 2,435,254 1,922,549 RENTAL RATE $4.18 $ The second quarter vacancy rate declined 10 basis points to 8.43 percent, the lowest total since the third quarter of 2006 when it reached 8.39 percent. Heightened occupier demand contributed to the improvement. The I-290 South, Chicago North, I-55 Corridor and I-80/Joliet Corridor submarkets experienced a vacancy rate decline of over one-half a percentage point from the previous quarter. Conversely, the Far South Suburbs and I-39 Corridor witnessed a rise of over 50 basis points from first quarter results. Chicago vacant supply equaled 11 million square feet, which is slightly lower than the million square feet reported last quarter. Absorption and s Second quarter leasing volume jumped 6.0 percent from the previous quarter level of 8.5 million square feet to 9.0 million square feet. Heightened second quarter leasing activity was driven by Michelin Tire s signing of a 1.7-million-square-foot build-to-suit lease at RidgePort Logistics Center in Wilmington. The metropolitan Chicago witnessed an uptick in tenant demand from tenants in the 50,000-square-foot to 100,000-square-foot range as there were 26 leases signed in the second quarter, compared to only 19 transactions in the previous quarter. The Michelin Tire lease contributed greatly to the I-80/Joliet Corridor s market-leading second quarter leasing volume of 2.3 million square feet. There was no leasing activity in DeKalb County and the I-39 Corridor in the second quarter. Second quarter sale volume topped out at 5.2 million square feet, rising 24.8 percent from the 4.2 million square feet reported in the prior quarter. Similar to leasing activity, user demand was highest in big blocks of space as four sale transactions totaling 1.8 million square feet were completed in buildings greater than 300,000 square feet. Two of these transactions were buildto-suit sale transactions. The I-55 Corridor, a market that typically draws a great deal of tenant activity, posted the largest user sale volume in the second quarter at 1.1 million square feet. The Far South Suburbs and Northwest Indiana recorded no second quarter sale activity.

2 ABSORPTION The Chicago area second quarter net absorption remained positive at 1.9 million square feet, however it has steadily declined from the third quarter 2013 level of 3.3 million square feet. The I-55 Corridor and I-290 North markets boasted the strongest second quarter results totaling 1.5 million square feet and 1.2 million square feet respectively. The North Suburbs and Lake County markets were the weakest with negative 790,200 square feet and negative 609,700 square feet respectively. Only nine of the 21 Chicago area industrial markets posted positive net absorption in the second quarter. Second quarter industrial deliveries totaled 2.7 million square feet (2.1 million square feet buildto-suit and 602,600 square feet speculative), which far exceeds the first quarter activity of 1.4 million square feet. The Chicago market will continue to see heightened new construction deliveries as 8.6 million square feet of build-to-suit projects and 5.0 million square feet of speculative projects are now underway. The I-55 Corridor welcomed the most construction deliveries in the second quarter with a total of 950,000 square feet. Redevelopment continued to thrive in the Chicago area in the second quarter. Two buildings were demolished and will be replaced with a 306,400-square foot build-to-suit for FedEx in Niles and a two-building, 406,200-square-foot speculative development in Libertyville led by Bridge Development Partners, LLC.

3 Central DuPage The Central DuPage second quarter vacancy rate measured 8.44 percent, down 16 basis points from the prior quarter mark of 8.60 percent. Heightened second quarter leasing volume contributed greatly to the improved vacancy rate. Four large (over 100,000 square feet) spaces returned to the market adding 601,800 square feet to Central DuPage s vacant industrial supply. The largest vacancy was an 188,100-square-foot warehouse/distribution facility at 815 Kimberly Drive in Carol Stream. This brings the total number of vacant options over 100,000 square feet in this market to 15, two more than the prior quarter. Central DuPage Absorption and s VACANCY ABSORPTION -818,587-26,180 RENTAL RATE $5.02 $5.07 Central DuPage s available industrial supply continued to shrink in the second quarter, reaching 7.1 million square feet, which was slightly below the 7.3 million square feet reported in the first quarter. The decline is more significant compared to the all-time high of 10.3 million square feet posted in the second quarter of CONSTRUCTION Central DuPage witnessed no new construction deliveries in the second quarter compared to just one project totaling 80,000 square feet completed in the first quarter. Two new developments are nearing completion in the Central DuPage market. Native Floral is constructing 60,000 square feet in Lombard and Corrigan Moving Systems will be occupying 45,000 square feet in Hanover Park, both slated for completion in the fourth quarter. LEASE AND SALE ACTIVITY Second quarter leasing volume jumped 35.8 percent from the first quarter volume of 639,600 square feet to 868,300 square feet. The increase was due to increased demand in the 50,000- to 100,000-square-foot range, which witnessed five signed transactions totaling 375,700 square feet. This is a sizable increase from one lease signed in the first quarter totaling only 81,800 square feet The largest second quarter lease transaction occurred when Diamond Marketing Solutions took occupancy of 184,600 square feet at Kimberly Drive in Carol Stream. The integrated direct marketing firm consolidated from several locations. Sale transactions declined 60.2 percent in the second quarter for a total sale volume of only 100,400 square feet, down from the first quarter total of 100,400 square feet. Buyer demand was concentrated in smaller sizes which resulted in the low total sale volume. Heightened second quarter leasing activity was not enough to achieve positive absorption. However, the negative 26,200 square feet posted in the second quarter was considerably better than the negative 818,600 square feet reported last quarter.

Chicago South witnessed one construction completion in the second quarter totaling 50,000 square feet. Chicago Oriental Wholesale Market moved into a 50,000-square-foot structure at 1902 S. Lumber Street. One building totaling 30,000 square feet was completed in Chicago North market in the previous quarter. Construction activity has been limited in the City of Chicago. The two projects totaling 80,000 square feet completed this year represent the first developments delivered since 2011 when one building totaling 91,000 square feet was completed. One significant Chicago North lease propelled second quarter leasing activity to 172,700 square feet, a 70 percent increase from first quarter activity. Digital Hub leased 94,400 square feet at 930 W. Evergreen Avenue which accounted for 54.6 percent of all second quarter activity.

Absorption and s Chicago North Chicago South 1 9% 7% 5% 3% 1% Chicago North second quarter sale activity measured 504,500 square feet which was significantly higher than the 265,000 square feet sold in Chicago South. This marks the fourth consecutive quarter that Chicago North sale volume produced results superior to those of Chicago South. Despite posting weaker results, the Chicago South sale volume of 265,000 square feet was 97 percent higher than the first quarter output of 134,500 square feet. The Chicago North results were more dramatic, jumping almost 300,000 square feet from the first quarter total of 216,800 square feet to 504,500 square feet. Increased second quarter user demand resulted in the positive 570,200 square feet of absorption in Chicago North. This was a swing of 1.2 million square feet from the negative 659,500 square feet posted in the prior quarter. Strong second quarter sale volume did not help Chicago South net absorption which totaled a disappointing negative 275,900 square feet. This was a significant decline from the first quarter total of 207,000 square feet. Unfortunately this erases three quarters of positive results.

Sale activity fell for the second consecutive quarter measuring just 112,200 square feet. This is a significant decline from the 360,400 square feet sold in the first quarter. The largest building sold in the second quarter was a 40,000-square-foot facility located at 6977 Austin Avenue in Niles. Weak second quarter user demand coupled with the loss of 756,600 of inventory resulted in the net absorption of negative 790,200 square feet.
