Committed to Chicago. Connected to the World. Metropolitan Chicago NAI Hiffman Industrial Market Report Third Quarter 211 www.hiffman.com

To our valued customers, partners and future clients... Our family has a door jamb in our house with a row of tiny marks it has accumulated over the years. At every birthday we d make a new line showing how much each of our children had grown over the course of the year. It was impossible to see the changes from day to day, but gradually and inevitably, those marks crept higher. We ve all seen economic projections and heard predictions about how, when and if the recovery will take place. This market report is an opportunity to take stock of actual conditions as they exist at a moment in time and to realize that, although we may not feel it or see it from day to day, we are indeed experiencing change for the better. Of course we are all affected by the global economy and political back-and-forth, and we do not realistically anticipate a significant market upswing in the near future. However at NAI Hiffman, we have seen an encouraging increase in transactions, up 3 percent from this time last year which was up from the year prior. Corporations cash positions are healthy and many are poised for growth and expansion. These trends, supported by other statistics you will see in the following pages, suggest we are seeing a modest recovery in the making. The marks are moving in the right direction. My kids are grown now, and that door jamb is a reminder that the days and the cycles we live through can go by quickly. In addition to planning for and building toward recovery, it is invaluable to appreciate the growth we have now even if it s measured in inches. Many secondary and tertiary markets are still hoping to experience the positive signs we are beginning to see in our place of business. Chicago is a resilient and diverse market, plus we are fortunate to work in an industry that is on the front lines contributing to the economic health of our clients and communities. Thank you as always, for entrusting to us the opportunity to be a source of guidance related to your specific real estate needs. Regards, David A. Petersen, RPA CEO, NAI Hiffman CEO, NAI Hiffman Asset Management

(CSI) Local Economy Review The third largest metropolitan area in the U.S. after New York and Los Angeles, Chicago is the most influential economic region between the East and West Coasts. Foreign Policy Magazine recently ranked Chicago sixth among world competition, measuring econometrics from the number of Fortune 5 companies to the flow of goods and services through airports and ports. Situated at the geographical heart of the nation, Chicago s locational advantages have fostered its development into an international center for banking, securities, high technology, air transportation, business services, wholesale and retail trade, and manufacturing. In addition, Chicago is one of the principal trading centers for commodities, financial, and derivative futures products with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Board of Trade. Quarter in Review Nearly nine million jobs were lost nationally during the economic downturn, more than the jobs lost in the previous four U.S. recessions combined. Now, more than two years after the official end of the recession and well into what has proven to be a complicated, uneven recovery, the unemployment numbers remain at staggering highs. Locally, in the Chicago-Joliet-Naperville metropolitan area, that rate stands at 1.4% as of August 211, far above historically normal levels, and hardly indicative of an economic recovery. Nationwide, the unemployment figure hasn t budged in months, still stuck above 9%. In 21, only about 9, of the 8.8 million jobs lost were recovered, with many of them being only temporary census positions. While the jobs report has been slightly more encouraging through the first nine months of 211, as job growth has been positive for 1 straight months, it hasn t been enough to drop the unemployment rate. Some are convinced the job situation is so bad that we re on the precipice of a double-dip recession; others will try to convince you we never pulled out of the first one. Without a doubt, jobs and job creation will be the number one issue in the upcoming presidential election.

One of the common reasons cited for the job situation is being called the the plight of American manufacturing, or the loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs to other countries, China in particular. China s manufacturing sector has grown faster than any other worldwide over the past several years, and depending on where the numbers are coming from will soon or already has surpassed the U.S. as the world s largest manufacturing sector. While the U.S. has certainly focused on growing service and financial industry jobs over the past decade to reduce reliance on lower-wage manufacturing jobs, the country still remains a manufacturing powerhouse, producing twice as much as Japan, three times as much as Germany, and 1 times as much as India. It is important to remember that despite the similar size of China s manufacturing sector to the U.S., and that China s economy may within a few years be the world s largest, China also has a population more than four times as large! While China s production of low-cost goods continues to increase, U.S. exports to China of high-quality machinery and other products made in the U.S. has increased nearly six-fold in the past ten years while imports from China have increased by only 3.5 times in the same time period. Despite the fear of a collapsing manufacturing industry, U.S. manufacturing levels are the highest levels in seven years according to the Institute for Supply Management, and U.S. exports have hit record levels. Jobs typically lag the economy, following in suit several months behind. The first two years of this ongoing economic recovery have been particularly uncertain and at times lackluster, and jobs have reacted with little growth. Some good news on the job front is that the number of people filing for unemployment continues to drop, dipping below the magic 4, per week figure that economists suggest is an important threshold to stay below to keep the unemployment rate from climbing further. Once this number drops below 35, per week, the unemployment rate should begin to drop. Other good news is that more jobs have been created during the first eight months of 211 than were created during all of 21 and many private companies are sitting on record profits and cash, ready to expand and hire once the future looks brighter. Looking Forward The economic recovery continues to plod along, confused by institutional gridlock and the uncertainty of whether U.S. policymakers can encourage job creation while managing debt and deficit levels. The recent debt ceiling debate, the S&P downgrade of U.S. debt and volatile financial markets have further obscured any progress being made. However, retail sales figures continue to surprise analysts, industrial production continues to grow, and exports are at record levels. While the recovery doesn t seem to be accelerating any time soon, another recession seems increasingly unlikely.

Data: CoStar Market Summary Chicago is the second largest industrial market in the U.S. with over 1.15 billion SF of inventory. The Chicago industrial market remains the most influential in the Midwest, due to its growing prominence as an inland port and its diverse, comparatively low-cost labor force. It has the second largest workforce in the country and is the largest manufacturing market. Chicago s strategic location and transportation infrastructure make it the most important transportation center in the country. Located in the path of three of the nation s busiest transcontinental expressways (I-8, I-9 and I-94), Chicago also claims 7 percent of the nation s rail and intermodal activity. The metropolitan area sits at the convergence of all six class-one railways and within a day s drive of one-third of the country s population. Quarter in Review The Chicago industrial market has now been in a recovery phase for more than a year, evidenced by the absorption of vacant space and a declining vacancy rate. The third quarter continued this trend, as nearly 2.2 million SF of vacant space was absorbed through new leases, expansions of existing leases and owner/user sale transactions. This positive absorption pushed the overall vacancy rate down 2 basis points during the three month period to 1.6% by the end of September. To put this improvement in perspective, the effects of the economic recession caused companies to contract, introducing 29.5 million SF of vacant space to the market between 28 and 21. Since the market recovery began a year ago, more than 14 million SF, nearly half, of that vacant space has been recovered. This represents a rate of nearly 3 million SF absorbed per quarter, suggesting that should this rate of absorption continue, the Chicago industrial market will return to a vacancy rate similar to pre-recession levels at the beginning of 213. Active submarkets catering to brand name companies who lease large distribution and warehouse spaces have led the recovery, specifically the I-55 Corridor, I-8/Joliet Corridor and I-88 Corridor. These companies have witnessed retail sales increase through the economic recovery, and with demand for goods likely to escalate into 212, have begun to address expansion plans in these accessible submarkets. Pictured Above: 11 58th Pl in the Business Park of Kenosha, Wisconsin, a 626,784 SF building leased by computer hardware retailer Systemax during the third quarter

Industrial Market Trends Vacancy Rate Net Absorption Asking Rents Due to vacancy concerns, construction has largely been limited to building expansion and build-to-suit projects, such as plastic food container and packaging material manufacturer Winpak Packaging s new 267, SF build-to-suit facility at the LogistiCenter at Sauk Village, which broke ground this quarter. However, the quick turnaround and impressive absorption witnessed in the I-55 Corridor submarket, where more than 3 million SF has been absorbed through the first three quarters of 211, has sparked conversation of new speculative construction in the area, and developers have started submitting proposals. Rental rates have also lifted off the bottom as the market continues its journey towards recovery. Net effective rents are 8-1% above where they were at the same time last year, and landlords, while still offering generous leasing concession packages, have started to strip back, particularly free rent and tenant improvement money. Leasing and investment sale activity continues to increase throughout the market, especially among the favored submarkets. Well-leased, core assets are still the favored target among investors, but buildings with substantial vacancy are beginning to trade as well, as the overall market outlook for the near term continues to improve.

The diversity and importance of the market on the national stage are part of the reason the recovery has started earlier here than in other markets, but the advantageous location of Chicago near the center of the country, and the emergence of the intermodal facilities in Will County as the county s largest inland distribution port has played an important role as well.

Entrepreneurial owners and corporate managers residing along the lakefront and northwest Lake County make this area attractive for investment. Corporate neighbors including Abbott, Baxter, Caremark, Takeda, Walgreens and WMS join privately held companies such as CDW, Medline and ULINE to form a vibrant base of employment. Lake County s relatively low property tax rates attract companies from Cook County, although infrastructure demands have begun to slightly even the playing field. The submarket experienced a significant adjustment during the third quarter, as 792,153 SF of vacant space was absorbed, the greatest quarterly positive absorption tally in several years in an area where changes are typically more gradual. Several sizeable new leases were signed during the past three months and combined with owner/ user sales to result in significant absorption and to push the vacancy rate down more than a full percentage point to 1.3% by the end of September, a rate similar to what was seen two years ago. 2, 2 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 21 211 The Lake County submarket experienced its greatest quarterly absorption tally in several years, pushing vacancy down to 1.3%.

The Lakeview Corporate Park in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin accounts for the lion s share of our statistical tracking in the Southeast Wisconsin industrial submarket. This 1,5-acre business park boasts 25 million SF of industrial space and is home to an international roster of companies including S.C. Johnson, IRIS, Yamaha and Jelly Belly. The Southeast Wisconsin submarket experienced little change in the vacancy rate during the third quarter, as transaction activity was limited throughout the area. The vacancy rate declined to 1.4% by the end of September, down only slightly from last quarter s 1.5% rate. Net absorption was positive, totaling 38,745 SF due to a few smaller transactions and tenants taking occupancy of recently leased space. This quarter s limited activity demonstrated that the area is subject to periods of inactivity and flat conditions which can be followed with a several thousand SF swing in absorption the following quarter due to the large size of many transactions in the submarket. 5, 2 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 21 211 The area is subject to periods of inactivity followed by a signifi cant adjustment due to the large size of many transactions in Southeast Wisconsin.

This has been due to an increase in new deals, both large and small. While the past couple quarters have seen fewer deals completed in the submarket, interest remains high and several deals should be completed over coming quarters.

Most of the industrial inventory base in the submarket is located within minutes of a 4-way intersection with I-9. This serves to make the I-9/Northwest submarket a good distribution point for companies that are serving the I-9/upper-midwest supply chain. Relatively low taxes are a benefit throughout the submarket and TIF incentives are available in some areas. Additionally, the Elgin area provides an abundant, educated labor pool. Population along and near the Fox River has increased dramatically over the past decade. More than 76% of the total submarket inventory is located in Elgin. The third quarter saw improving conditions in the I-9/Northwest submarket, as the vacancy rate declined slightly to 1.6% from last quarter s 1.8% rate due the absorption of 91,221 SF of vacant space. Vacancy peaked during the second quarter 21 at 11.7%, and has declined more than a full percentage point during the five quarters since.

The submarket is conveniently located close to Chicago s O Hare International Airport and has excellent access to Chicago and the western suburbs using I-9, I-29 and Route 53. The user base generally consists of specialized manufacturing and service companies. Many international companies, particularly Asian and European, have located their North American headquarters here due to the proximity to the airport. Few distribution facilities exist relative to neighboring submarkets. Many users come from the comparatively cramped O Hare submarket looking for more space or a location closer to their residences, but don t want to move all the way west to Elgin or beyond. While high Cook County taxes may be prohibitive to some users, landlords continue to offer lower net rents to attract tenants. The Northwest Cook submarket has experienced eight consecutive quarters of improving conditions. During this time, the vacancy rate has dropped from a 13.8% peak two years ago, to 8.7% by the end of September, a 5.1% decrease due to more than 1.2 million SF of vacant space being absorbed through new leases, expansions of existing 2, 2 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 21 211 The Northwest Cook submarket has seen two years of improvement, more than 1.2 million SF has been absorbed, pushing vacancy down by 5.1% Pictured Above: A rendering of 178 Wall St in Mt.

The area has the advantage of an inventory of buildings with better specifications than many of the antiquated buildings found in the city of Chicago. It tends to be a primarily owner/user market, with limited leasing opportunities. The user base generally consists of service providers and light manufacturers who tend to remain in their locations for extended periods of time, resulting in limited transaction velocity in the submarket. The inventory base is mostly comprised of 196s 197sera buildings with lower ceilings and low parking ratios. Higher taxes may be a deterrent for some users, while others are willing to pay the price for the location. Construction Deliveries 2-211 6, 4, 2, For the third period in a row, conditions improved in the North Cook submarket, as vacant space was absorbed during the third quarter, pushing the vacancy rate down 2 basis points to 6.8% by the end of September.

The Fox Valley vacancy rate experienced a significant adjustment during the third quarter, decreasing by a full percentage point to 1.9% over last quarter s 11.9% rate. The past two years had experienced little in the way of demand when measured by absorption, but an impressive 29,831 SF of vacant space was absorbed during the third quarter, primarily through the signing of new leases.

The recent completion of the I-355 extension, Chicago s newest expressway, has improved access to the area and spurred interest in the mature market. Users in the Central DuPage submarket vary by type and are not limited to primarily distribution like other nearby submarkets. Following two quarters of relatively strong absorption and a vacancy rate that dropped to 9.1% last quarter, the improvement trend proved to be short-lived, as absorption turned negative during the third quarter, pushing the vacancy rate up 6 basis points to 9.7% by the end of September. Net absorption for the three month period totaled negative 413,733 SF, bringing the tally for the year-to-date down to 36,129 SF. Although several new lease transactions were signed during the third quarter, a number of new vacancies were introduced to the market during the quarter, outweighing the positive effects of the elevated leasing activity on the absorption figures. Despite the negative news during the third quarter, the Central DuPage submarket remains one of only a few with a vacancy rate in the single digits. 5, 2 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 21 211 Vacancy continues to react to the changing conditions in the market, resulting in alternating periods of improvement and declining conditions.

The vacancy rate decreased by 2 basis points during the past three months to 1.8%. A year ago this rate was at its 12.8% peak, an improvement of 2 basis points in a relatively short period of time to a level not seen since 28.

Additionally, companies migrate to the area from the nearby O Hare submarket where interstate and airport access is similar, but rental rates tend to be higher. The West Cook submarket benefits from good access to the city of Chicago, close proximity to area interstates and rail providers and relatively low rental rates. It is primarily an owner/ user market, but leasing opportunities have increased as institutional and private owners have entered the submarket. Several new leases signed during the third quarter resulted in positive absorption for the West Cook submarket during the third quarter totaling 237,64 SF. This activity pushed the vacancy rate down half a percent to 11.6% compared to last quarter s 12.1% rate. This is the lowest vacancy rate since a year ago.

The area benefits from a solid mix of manufacturing and distribution facilities due to an abundance of skilled, educated labor, and excellent access to several major expressways, train lines and public transportation. The submarket consists of primarily older product with scattered modern infill developments of around 2 million SF in Bedford Park and additional projects in Alsip and Sauk Village. Ownership is mixed, including institutional, owner/user and both national and local private owners. While its location close to Chicago is key, Cook County taxes can be a financial burden. The vacancy rate decreased slightly during the third quarter, dipping to 11.5% by the end of September, down 2 basis points from the 11.7% rate recorded in June and 4 basis points below the 11.9% rate a year ago. Vacancy peaked at 13.6% at the beginning of 29 and began to decrease thereafter, and has held between 11% and 12% for the past 5 quarters.

Construction Construction continues on Winpak s new 267, SF build-tosuit facility at the LogistiCenter at Sauk Village and is anticipated to be completed by February 212. Otherwise, new development is likely to remain minimal until sustained absorption is realized and rental rates increase. Transaction Activity Several buildings over 1, SF in size were acquired through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure by KTR Capital Partners during the third quarter.

There are many functionally obsolete crane & manufacturing buildings housing firms in this area that service the steel and chemical industries. South of I-8, towns such as Munster, Hobart, Merrillville and Portage cater to more modern business parks. Indiana has historically held significant economic advantages over Illinois, such as lower property taxes, utility costs, labor rates, and soft costs (workman s compensation and unemployment insurance). Most companies new to Northwest Indiana migrate from South Cook/Will Counties, but existing Northwest Indiana firms rarely move across the state line to Illinois. The vacancy rate declined by 1.3% in the Northwest Indiana submarket during the third quarter, due to an increase in user sale transactions and leasing activity. By the end of September, the rate had dipped to 7.6%, down from 8.9% in June and 9.4% a year ago.

Methodology & Defi nitions Methodology The information included in this report is the result of a compilation and analysis of data from various sources on class A, class B and class C industrial properties located in the metropolitan Chicago area defined by the submarket map on the previous page. NAI Hiffman obtained the information from property representatives, CoStar Group, RealCapital Analytics, industry periodicals and magazines, our in-house property database, and other sources. NAI Hiffman greatly appreciates the participation of each of these individuals, companies and resources, without whose help this report would not have been possible. All of the information detailed throughout this report is saved and organized in our own in-house database and is regularly updated. Utilizing this database, we can analyze, calculate and report demographic information, inventory, vacancy, availability, net absorption, and transactional information. Definitions The NAI Hiffman Market Reports track several measures of market conditions. This information is collected for individual properties then consolidated, organized and analyzed for submarket and market totals. These terms, used throughout the reports, are defined below according to NAIOP Terms & Definitions. Net Absorption The net change in occupied space in a given market between the current measurement period and the last measurement period. Net absorption can be either positive or negative and must include decreases as well as increases in inventory levels. For the purpose of this report, sublease space is included in the calculation of net absorption. New Supply The total inventory delivered to the market since the last measurement period. Delivered is defined as total square footage and/or number of buildings that has completed construction and received a certificate of occupancy during a stated period. Under Construction Buildings where either: a) actual ground breaking has occurred (site excavation or foundation work) and construction is ongoing (not abandoned or discontinued) but for which a certificate of occupancy has not yet been issued; or b) properties undergoing conversion to office from another use or c) properties undergoing a major renovation where 75 percent or more of the building is not available for lease and building generally requires a certificate of occupancy to be made available for lease. NAI Global / Methodology & Definitions Total Inventory (Market Size) The total square footage of gross rentable area in a specific market. It includes the gross rentable area in buildings that have received a certificate of occupancy. Total inventory increases when a new building is delivered and decreases when an existing building is destroyed, demolished or its use changes. Available Space The total amount of space that is currently being marketed as available for lease in a given time period. It includes space that is available, regardless of whether the space is vacant, occupied, available for sublease, or available at a future date. Available space excludes shadow space. Vacancy Rate A measurement expressed as a percentage of the total amount of vacant space divided by the total amount of inventory. Vacant space is inventory that is not currently occupied. Shadow Space That portion of leased space which is vacant but not available space. Shadow space is difficult to measure.
