Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire the property located at 1605 to 1609 North 31st Avenue in Melrose Park, Illinois. The subject property consists of approximately 10,060 square feet of manufacturing warehouse space and is situated on 0.40 acres of land. The multi-tenant asset features masonry construction with metal roofing, two units, a 14’ clear height, two dock-high doors, two grade-level doors, two HVAC units, 200 amps with 220 volts, and 12 parking spaces. Located 6.8 miles south of the Chicago O’Hare International Airport, the property has close proximity to Interstates 294, 290, and 88. The fully-leased asset is equally occupied by the commercial door hardware provider F.W. Kline, Inc., and Your Custom Cabinetry, a custom builder of high-end residential cabinetry. The average lease rate of $12.30 per square foot escalates by 3.0 percent annually. With one of the leases expiring by the start of October 2026, the property can easily be acquired for partial owner use. At $86.98 per square foot, the asset is priced well below replacement costs.
The subject property is located within the massive West Cook North submarket, containing 62.2 million square feet of industrial space. In the 12 months through Q3 2025, net absorption contracted by nearly -513,000 square feet as about 56,000 square feet of deliveries were added to the submarket on net. Year-over-year, the vacancy rate increased by 90 basis points, but at 6.5 percent, availability in West Cook North was 120 basis points below the national average. The annual growth rate of rents in the submarket was twice the national average at 3.2 percent. The average market rent of $9.80 per square foot was
up 60.9 percent over the last decade. With about 257,000 square feet of industrial space under construction in West Cook North, representing 0.4 percent of the inventory, demand will largely be in the driver’s seat of vacancies and rents for the foreseeable future (CoStar).
