Northfield Sportsplex 287 Northfield Rd 15,000 SF 100% Leased Industrial Building Northfield, IL 60093 $2,950,000 ($196.67/SF) 7.69% Cap Rate

Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire the property located at 287 Northfield Road in Northfield, Illinois, anchored by Power of The Golf Ball. The subject property consists of approximately 15,000 square feet of flex space and is situated on 1.1 acres of land. The multi-tenant asset features five suites, a clear height of 16’, two dock-high doors accessible through a double-wide grade-level door , one grade-level door, and 49 parking spaces. Located only 0.3 miles from the on-ramp to Interstate 94, the property is situated amongst Chicago’s most affluent ZIP codes with an average household income of about $184,000 within five miles of the asset (CoStar). Fully occupied by four sports training-related tenants and a home tech company, the property benefits from the high-income area. With a weighted average lease term (WALT) of 2.75 years, the leases are set to escalate from 3.0 to 3.5 percent starting in March 2026 through January 2027. Four of the tenants have invested significant capital in specialized buildouts, creating an opportunity for buyers to acquire an asset that reduces the risk of tenant loss.
The subject asset is well-positioned within the North Cook submarket that borders Lake Michigan. Home to Northwestern University, North Cook is a massive submarket containing 54.3 million square feet of industrial space. At 59 percent, the submarket consists mostly of logistics facilities, followed by specialized and flex space at 31 percent and 10 percent, respectively. In the 12 months running through Q2, net absorption remained in positive territory at about 62,000 square feet. However, new supply outpaced demand with net deliveries reaching over 890,000 square feet. As a result, the vacancy rate in Q2 increased by 140 basis points annually to 6.6 percent but stabilized quarter-over-quarter. While above the Chicago market average, North Cook’s vacancy rate was still below the 7.6 percent national average (based on the top 50 metros, minimum 10,000 square feet, and classes A, B, and C). The increase in availability caused annual rent growth to decelerate to 3.8 percent, pushing the average asking rent to
about $12.10 per square foot. At the midway point of 2025, there were no industrial properties under construction in North Cook, putting demand back in the driver’s seat of vacancies and rents for the foreseeable future (CoStar).
