Brown negotiates three suburban industrial deals

Sept. 2, 2025 — Brown Commercial Group negotiated three suburban industrial deals for growing businesses in the Chicago suburban market.

Vice President Candace Scurto represented EIT Enterprise and secured a favorable rental rate at 605 Country Club Dr., Unit D, in Bensenville, IL. The company is expanding from its South Elgin, IL and West Coast locations.

Scurto also represented the owner of 1034 W. Devon Ave. in Elk Grove Village, IL in selling the space to a private investor.

These two suburban industrial deals were in the O’Hare submarket, which offers proximity to the airport and its strong logistics and distribution routes, particularly for cargo traffic. According to CoStar, the O’Hare industrial market retained strong demand fundamentals from mid-2021 through mid-2023 despite its post-pandemic challenges.

The submarket has a vacancy rate of 5.4%. Despite some pullback in tenant demand, asking rents are on pace with the Chicago metro’s 4.3% year-over-year rate. Also, the O’Hare Submarket is on a path to reinvention through its recent power infrastructure improvements. If logistics developers and tenants can employ heavy power upgrades across the submarket, O’Hare could regain its balance by 2025’s close.

Scurto also represented the landlord at 470 Jennings Dr. in Lake in the Hills, IL in securing a tenant to lease Unit D in the building. She also represented the tenant, Rainbow Restoration, which is expanding its space.
