Bridge Development Tallies 880K SF of YTD Leases

Bridge Development Partners has signed a total of 880,000 square feet of leases across Chicagoland year to date. These deals occurred in Bridge’s Wood Dale, Franklin Park, Downers Grove, Bridge Point North, and Fountain Square developments.

The largest of these were Thermoflex’s full-building lease of 228,252 square feet at Bridge Point North in Waukegan, IL; and 100,378 square feet for commercial furniture dealership Forward Space at Bridge Point Wood Dale in Wood Dale, IL.

“We’re extremely proud of the leasing activity in our Chicago region just halfway through 2019,” said Steve Groetsema, COO and partner at Bridge. “The work we’ve done to rehabilitate these previously infill sites is attracting a superior roster of tenants—many in the logistics and shipping industry—to each development. We hope to lease up the remaining square footage by the end of 2019.”
