Newmark Secures 17K-SF Office Lease for DesignPac in Oak Brook

Newmark has arranged a long-term, 17,447-square-foot office/flex lease for DesignPac, a subsidiary of 1-800-Flowers.com, Inc., at 2100 Swift Drive in Oak Brook, Illinois.

Newmark Senior Managing Director Corey Chase represented the tenant in the transaction. DesignPac is a provider of gourmet gift baskets and sets for major retailers across North America. The new space will support the company’s multifaceted operations, including its design studio and showroom, product packaging and light manufacturing.

“This lease reflects a deliberate decision to secure a space that meets the company’s unique demands while providing excellent accessibility and a high-quality environment for employees,” said Chase.
