Avison Young Negotiates Lease of Former Foxtrot Commissary
Avison Young has arranged a lease of approximately 20,000 square feet across two units of industrial space at 900 West Cermak Road to Bento, Inc., a subsidiary of the Wonderfield Group, on behalf of a private, local owner.
The units were recently occupied by Foxtrot, which extensively renovated the facility for use as a commissary kitchen. The property owner, 900 C LLC, was represented by Avison Young Principal Steven Kohn, SIOR, and Jay Maher, Senior Vice President. Newmark‘s Corey Chase and Stephen Levine’ represented Bento, Inc.
“We are excited to welcome a high caliber international company such as Bento, Inc. to the Pilsen East community,” said John Podmajersky III, Principal, 900 C LLC. Toronto-based Bento is a provider of sushi across North America, and it has nine commissaries that serve over 2,500 stores.
Aside from the existing infrastructure, Bento was attracted to the proximity to downtown Chicago, the extensive network of nearby interstate highways, public transportation, and the workforce. “There are two more units in the building, a standalone building across the street, and land available for future development,” said Kohn.
