1 Chicago Industrial Report 3Q 217

2 There are events throughout history that inevitably cause us to stop and take pause. They are moments that slow time. Moments that illustrate profound change, a clear before and after. Moments that challenge us to come together. It s during such times that we re able to dig deeper, revealing the very best of the human spirit. These past months have brought a sobering share of such events. Friends and neighbors have weathered great storms. Strangers have freely offered outstretched arms to those in need. And family in all its forms has served to unify our nation in a time of remarkable change. In Las Vegas, our strength was manifest in our first responders. As the hurricanes hit our shores, countless stories have come forth to evidence our formidable character and perseverance. As the nation recovers from this recent string of events, there is an assurance which remains in the strength of our economy. The continuing durability of our industrial markets, reflected in this quarter s research report, supports the confidence we have as we move forward. All the best, John Picchiotti Managing Director

4 Chicago Industrial Report 3Q 217 Chicago Metro Chicago Metro Map 9 Southwest Wisconsin Walworth 39 Southeast Wisconsin 43 9 Rockford Third quarter leasing volume measured 6.3 million square feet which was 1.3 million square feet lower that last quarter. Sadly the decline was more pronounced when compared to one year ago, down a stunning 4.8 million square feet from the 11.1 million square feet reported. The news is not as bad as it seems Third quarter 217 leasing volume (number of transactions) was on par with one year ago, however today s volume was driven by smaller size transactions whereas one year ago that was dominated by the mega big box user. Astonishingly the South Suburbs reported the highest third quarter leasing volume at 1.1 million square feet followed by the O Hare market which measured 96,9 square feet. Conversely the I-57 Corridor witnessed no new leases.

Just like leasing volume, the South Suburbs boast the most quarterly user sale volume, measuring 585,6 square feet. The South Chicago market though came in a close second posting 572,7 square feet sold. On the flip side, the Fox Valley I-39, I-55, I-57 and I-8 markets did not report user sale activity. 55 I-8 West Northwest Indiana 57 8 I-8 Corridor I-57 Corridor activity flourishes in the Chicago metropolitan area driven by large deliveries. This quarter 8.8 million square feet was completed, easily surpassing the 5.8 million square feet and the 4.5 million square feet delivered in the first and second quarter. Two buildings greatly contributed to the increase as Core5 completed a 1,26,-square-foot speculative bulk warehouse/distribution facility at 123 E. Laraway Road, Joliet and Venture One Real Estate handed the keys over to Georgia Pacific on a 1,,6-square-foot build-to-suit lease at Central Avenue University. Additionally Hillwood finished a 992,6 square foot speculative development at 1 E. Millsdale Road, Joliet, and Duke Realty delivered 954,7 square feet of warehouse/distribution space at 1 Duke way, Aurora to Amazon. The pipeline is even more robust as the fourth quarter will see two 1. million square foot build-to-suit lease projects deliver: 1.5 million square feet for a Fortune 5 food company at RidgePort Logistics Center in Wilmington and IKEA will take possession on 1.25 million square feet at Laraway Crossings Business in Joliet. More astonishingly is that there are two 1. million square-foot speculative projects that commenced this quarter: The Opus Group in a joint venture with AEW broke ground on 1.2 million square feet at Rock Creek Logistics Center on Channahon Road in Joliet, while Venture One Real Estate in conjunction with USAA started 1.1 million square feet at Crossroads 55 Corporate on Frontage Road, Channahon.

The largest lease was a Southside deal between Concept Laboratories, Inc and landlord Westmount Realty Capital LLC for 83,91 square feet of warehouse at 444 W. Ann Lurie Pl. The most notable deal in the North Chicago was a 52,65-square-foot lease signed by an undisclosed tenant in a manufacturing building owned by Del Rey Tortilleria at 521 W.Grand Ave. Chicago s rate for both markets climbed from the prior quarter due to large blocks of space re-entering the market. In North Chicago, climbed 111 basis points to 7.7 percent, while the South Chicago market was less severe,rising 14 basis points to 6.53 percent. Asking rents also trended downward in both markets, as North Chicago asking net rent fell eleven cents to $7.73 per square foot net, where as South Chicago asking rents declined from $5.93 per square foot net to $5.14 per square foot net. 2 Rosemont Schiller Franklin Melrose 38 Hodgkins Oak 29 Berwyn McCook 14 Bridgeview Fulton Market Cicero 55 Bedford 9 Pilsen Stockyards Goose Island Chicago 2 9 User sale activity remained steady in quarter three with eight trades totaling 628,59 square feet, in contrast to investment activity which was down to two sales totaling 54,64 square feet from 1 million square feet last quarter.

While is not yet a long-term concern due to the robust market velocity, demand has taken a pause, as quarterly was in the red by 143, square feet. Overall, the submarket has posted 678, square feet of, when in past years, I-55 would account for at least three to four million square feet, or 2 25 percent of the total market. Currently, net asking rents stand at $4.69 per square foot, which is flat from yearend 216. The largest new lease transaction signed this quarter was Menasha Packaging committing to a 27,-square-foot cold storage facility at 55 N. Frontage Road in Bolingbrook. The building is owned by TA Associates, and Menasha will be handling product for Kraft Foods. The Class A building had spent a long time on the market due to lower velocity for cold storage users; however, the lease rate was in the double digits. In Romeoville, LeSaint Logistics committed to an early renewal for 347, square feet at W. Crossroads way. In addition, RJW Transport renewed their 27,-square-foot full-building lease at 7 Gateway, which is visible from I-55, with Prologis. Sandwich 3 Sugar Grove Montgomery Yorkville Aurora Oswego Plainfield 34 Lisle Naperville 59 Bolingbrook Romeoville 55 Bolingbrook 355 Woodridge 355 Lockport Burr Ridge Orland 6 The largest sale in the third quarter was a three-building complex that Principal Investors sold at 124, 121 and 1216 Werch Drive, at the Woodridge Commerce Center, to William Harris Investors (WHI) for $12,4,65. The small bay facilities, totaling 146,848 square feet, are 89-percent leased to 22 tenants Joliet New Lenox 2.2 million square feet of new space has been delivered in the submarket thus far in 217, mostly on a speculative basis. The largest vacant speculative project to date is Panattoni s 787,-square-foot facility at 111 Airport Road in Romeoville, which is an outlier due to the sheer size, because the majority of the new product being delivered falls between 1, to 3, square feet. There is 1.3 million square feet of space currently under, although developers may pump the brakes as we head into the winter with hopes that some of the new speculative product becomes leased before 218 s season begins.

While this is slightly above the market average, it is not alarming due to the lower velocity typically seen in far south suburban Will County. In addition, many of the large occupiers here, like Solo Cup and Clorox, operate under long-term leases. A highlight is that the I-57 corridor has posted higher annual net than the I-55 market, with nearly 77, square feet compared to 678, square feet in I-55 market. Third quarter net has clocked in at just under 27, square feet. Asking rental rates stand at $3.48 per square foot net, which marks just a four-cent change from the second quarter. In other news, Exeter Property Group is close to a lease for the former World Kitchen distribution center in Monee. Exeter completed substantial renovations to the Class A 71,-square-foot building, which has struggled to find a tenant since it was acquired for $31 per square foot two years ago. This space is the largest second-generation in the market. Also, just to the north, Clorox is planning to lease additional distribution space in the market in close proximity to their 1.35-million-square-foot facility. Channahon 55 Elwood Wilmington Kankakee Monee 57 Peotone Manteno Lowell The I-57 Corridor boasts one of the largest single-tenant investment trades this quarter at 1,,56 square feet where Venture One Real Estate sold its recently completed build-to-suit for Georgia Pacific in University. The total value of the property at S. Central Avenue was approximately $53 million, which equates to $52.85 per square foot. CBREI bought the property on behalf of a German-based client. The biggest news in the submarket is that Amazon is nearing completion of a large 856,-square-foot fulfillment center in Monee, just west of I-57. While initial hiring has commenced, it is expected that they will have to pull workers from far south suburban Cook County and Northwest Indiana to keep the facility running during peak season. USAA will own the building after Seefried Properties completes the project in the fourth quarter.

Six new leases, totaling 265,258 square feet, were signed in contrast to 1.4 million square feet in quarter two. A lease by Kellogg s in a Teachers Insurance & Annuity Association of America-owned building in Joliet accounted for the bulk of new leasing activity. The cereal company secured 192,39 square feet at Crossroads Dr. on a two-year term. Approximately 4.1 million square feet has been absorbed to date this year in I-8 Corridor, with an average foot print of 144,592 square feet. Weaker tenant demand, coupled with several large speculative deliveries (with no pre-leasing activity), drove the third-quarter rate to 8.24 percent, a stunning 282-basis-point increase from the previous quarter. Although vacancies climbed, asking rents surpassed the prior quarter rate of $3.75 net, rising to $4.32 per square foot net. Rents were impacted by new speculative deliveries.

The building traded at $64 per square foot, allocated, compared to the $48 per square foot that Hillwood paid for the building in December Approximately 2.8 million square feet of new industrial product was delivered in I-8 Corridor at the close of quarter three, bringing year-to-date deliveries to 7.8 million square feet. Three speculative developments accounted for over 2 million square feet of this quarter s, including Chicago s largest speculative deliveries of the year: a 1,26,-square-foot warehouse developed by Core5 at 123 E. Laraway Rd in Joliet and a 922,64-square-foot delivery by Hillwood at 1 E. Millsdale Rd. Three new speculative projects broke ground in quarter three, including another million-square-foot speculative project being developed by Venture One at 2411S Frontage Rd in Channahon.

The balance of the I-88 market transactions, though, were less stout as the next-largest transaction was completed by SGA Holdings Inc. which leased 36,36 square feet at Frontenac Road, Naperville. The uptick in occupier demand had a positive impact on I-88 s rate, which dropped 62 basis points from the prior quarter to 5. percent. The I-88 market also benefitted from nominal second-generation space returning, as the largest space released was 56,956 square feet at Airport Road, North Aurora. Asking net rents came in at $4.35 per square foot, closely matching the $4.74 per square foot net recorded last quarter.

Vacancy has climbed 35 basis points from the 5.26 percent reported in the second quarter to 5.61 percent. The increase in is not surprising due to the robust speculative pipeline in the market.

Just down the street, in the Lakeview Business, CenterPoint Properties is putting the finishing touches on a 417,384-square-foot warehouse/ distribution facility scheduled to be delivered in the fourth quarter. The announcement by Foxconn to come to Racine County has grabbed headlines across the country. Industrial investors are cautiously optimistic, as the state of Wisconsin doled out a massive $2.85 billion subsidy to the Taiwanese conglomerate. The company is planning on constructing a manufacturing plant in or around Sturtevant that will build liquid crystal display (LCD) screens for Apple products. In the short-term, Foxconn is looking for temporary industrial space in the market to begin building up their infrastructure and local workforce; however, on the Illinois side of the border, this could lead to increased demand in Lake County and Chicago s north shore. Another concern among industrial occupiers is that the company will cannibalize the existing workforce and exacerbate a labor shortage.
