Diamond Realty Holdings Makes Eighth Kinzie Corridor Acquisition

Diamond Realty Holdings (DRH) has acquired 300 North Oakley Blvd., a 32,756-square-foot warehouse in the Kinzie Industrial Corridor submarket. DRH worked directly with the seller and the property was delivered vacant at closing at a purchase price of approximately $130 per square foot.

“With this being our furthest west acquisition to date, we are seeing the boundaries continue to expand due to an increase in demand and limited supply,” said Josh Diamond, principal of DRH. “Our plan with this project is to implement a speculative strategic clean-up and market thereafter for lease.”

With this acquisition, DRH owns eight assets in the Kinzie Corridor totaling more than 130,000 square feet.
