NKF Handles 271K-SF Lease Extension in Bedford Park, IL

Assemblers, Inc. signed a 270,789-square-foot lease extension at GLP’s Bedford Park Corporate Center in Bedford Park, IL. The facility at 5139 W. 73rd St. will be used to serve non-food clients from a strategic location near a strong labor pool and its other nearby facilities.

NKF’s Geoffrey Kasselman and Chris Hill arranged the lease extension on behalf of the tenant. Lee & Associates’ Brian Vanosky and Jeff Janda represented the landlord of the modern, free-standing, 279,789-square-foot, pre-cast distribution facility on 12.4 acres.

Assemblers is a well-regarded private assembly and contract packaging company. It has occupied the property since 2014, when it leased the space to serve as its second of three Chicago-area facilities in support of its growing third-party food production business. The firm also has facilities in Chicago and McCook, where Kasselman and NKF recently arranged a strategic long-term lease extension as well.
