Strength of the Suburbs Media reports have consistently portrayed a lagging suburban market, one that has fallen to the wayside to the Chicago CBD s real estate fundamentals and investment potential. Contrary to this portrayed image, suburban fundamentals continue to improve and often outperform the CBD in key indicators including cumulative absorption, which has outpaced CBD absorption by over 500,000 RSF since 2010. The continued strength of economic growth in the Chicago suburban markets provides well informed investors the opportunity to enter a rising market at a highly competitive basis.

At 70.3% leased, there is room for lease up growth and a much improved NOI stream. The existing tenant lineup provides over 7 years of WALT, emphasizing a stable and diversified revenue stream for an investor to further build upon. An investor can lease up an additional 15% of total property area to increase NOI by over 33% within 3 years. Furthermore, new construction has slowed in recent years as a result of rising construction costs and a lack of desirable office development sites; replacement costs for Class A office product are in excess of $360 per square foot. An investor has the ability to acquire the property at a value significantly below replacement cost, providing an opportunity to achieve superior leasing performance and an appealing yield over investor s hold period. $40.00 NET RENTAL RATE COMPARISON $33.00 /RSF 58% discount to replacement rents $30.00 NET RENTS $20.00 $10.00 $13.91 /RSF $0 New Construction 544 Lakeview 7
