Brown negotiates 28K SF industrial building purchase
July 17, 2025 — Brown Commercial Group negotiated a 28,374-square-foot industrial building purchase for All Materials Matter, LLC, a rapidly growing commercial waste recycling business in Chicago. Broker Pat Crowley represented the buyer, a company providing recycling services for many Chicago area industrial and logistics companies. In the past two years, Brown has helped he company with its industrial space needs as they have expanded from a 5,000-square-foot lease to its recent lease of 20,000-square-foot space in Franklin Park, IL. Both leases were negotiated by Crowley.
Given the company’s rapid growth and need for additional space, Crowley conducted an extensive search of the O’Hare submarket and surrounding areas, leading to this industrial building purchase. “There is a limited supply of small to mid-sized industrial space in the O’Hare submarket and surrounding areas, creating challenges for growing companies,” Crowley said. “After a thorough search, we found a building that fits their need to stay close to their existing client base while also allowing more efficient space for their operations.”
According to CoStar research, industrial sales in the O’Hare industrial submarket reached $793 million in the 12 months ending May 2025. Most of those transactions involved data centers, but small to mid-sized buildings remain a target for many businesses. Given the market’s supply-demand dynamics, there is little room to add new, modern industrial space in the O’Hare submarket despite the strong demand.
