Case Studies

TradeLane executed the first phase of the development with the completion of two buildings totaling 434,254 square feet. The project has since advanced into Phase II, which will add 513,334 square feet across two new buildings currently under development.

A single-tenant distribution building repositioned for modern logistics use, with the yard rebuilt and clear height raised across the whole footprint.

An infill manufacturing facility taken back to the frame, repositioned and re-leased, unlocking value from the existing structure rather than starting fresh on greenfield.

A premier Class A logistics campus developed along the I-88 corridor, combining institutional-quality design, secured truck courts, and scalable occupancy opportunities to meet the needs of modern distribution users in the Chicago market.

A 112,477-square-foot speculative development on 9.49 acres, built in joint venture with Phelan Development. TradeLane delivered the Class A facility in early 2024 and signed a long-term lease with a leading logistics company on completion — a spec building leased straight out of delivery.

TradeLane acquired a long-vacant retail building and rezoned it for industrial use. During partial demolition and rehab, a building-products distributor committed to the entire premises — allowing tenant-specific improvements to be built into the work and eliminating lease-up downtime.

Implemented a comprehensive value-creation strategy focused on revenue growth, operational efficiency, and tenant quality, including the expansion of rentable area, conversion to a triple-net lease structure, monetization of excess trailer parking and modernization of the office component.

TradeLane recognized the untapped potential of a chronically vacant industrial asset and transformed it through targeted capital improvements, strategic repositioning, and a renewed focus on its unique infrastructure advantages, ultimately attracting a leading last-mile logistics operator.
