IDI Renews 295,620-Square-Foot Lease at 2001 Baseline Road

Leasing Success along I-88 Corridor Continues

Chicago, December 07, 2011– IDI, a leading full-service industrial real estate company based in Atlanta, has signed a 295,620-square-foot lease renewal with  a third party logistics provider at 2001 Baseline Road. This renewal is the fifth lease IDI has signed along the I-88 corridor in 2011.

The tenant, who originally selected the location in April 2007, uses the building for staging, light assembly and quality control of parts for the company’s U.S. operations. The Baseline Road facility is located in Fox Valley in Montgomery, IL, approximately 45 miles west of the central Chicago business district. Eby-Brown, a leading convenience store supplier and wholesale food distributor, also leases 290,000 square feet at 2001 Baseline Road.

“This company is a strong tenant for IDI,” said Jeff Lanaghan, vice president of leasing and development in IDI’s Chicago office. “Their renewal at 2001 Baseline Road will allow them to continue to enjoy the advantages of being located on the I-88 corridor, which include the availability of a quality labor force and proximity to the interstate system.”

Matthew Stauber of Colliers International represented the tenant and Keith Stauber and Steve Ostrowski with Jones Lang LaSalle were listing agents on the property. Jeff Lanaghan represented IDI in the lease transaction.
