Matterhorn Venture Partners Expands Its Portfolio
Matterhorn Venture Partners has announced an exciting new addition to its growing portfolio. The firm has successfully acquired a five-building, 25,000-square-foot small-bay industrial property located on Franklin Avenue. This strategic move positions Matterhorn as a key player in the industrial real estate market, particularly within the O'Hare submarket, renowned for its limited supply of industrial space.
Details of the Acquisition
The newly acquired property features five contiguous buildings, each comprising 5,000 square feet. With a combination of dock-high and drive-in loading capabilities, these buildings are well-prepared to attract a diverse range of tenants. The acquisition was executed at a significant discount relative to replacement costs, showcasing Matterhorn's commitment to strategic investment.
Future Plans for the Property
Plans for this site include targeted capital improvements aimed at modernizing the interiors of both the warehouse and office spaces. Enhancements also entail improving the building's exterior aesthetic to increase curb appeal, ultimately preparing the spaces for immediate leasing opportunities.
