Prestigious North Shore office buildings land $33.02M financing

July 08, 2021

CHICAGO, July 8, 2021 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged $33.02 million in financing for One and Two Conway Park, two boutique Class A office buildings totaling 225,354 square feet in the Chicago North Shore community of Lake Forest, Illinois.

JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, an affiliate of Pembroke IV LLC, to secure floating-rate financing through Money360. Loan proceeds were used to refinance One Conway, which Pembroke IV purchased in 2016, and fund the acquisition and renovation of Two Conway.

One and Two Conway Park are located at 100 and 150 North Field Dr. immediately off of Interstate 94 (The Edens Expressway) in Chicago’s North Suburban submarket. This submarket is heavily concentrated with corporate headquarters locations, including the Chicago Bears National Football League, which is located adjacent to the properties. Positioned on a combined 17.91 acres within the larger Conway Park office park, the office assets have exceptional accessibility to the greater Chicagoland area via two Metra commuter rail stations nearby and Interstates 94 and 294.

Renovated in 2018, One Conway offers 105,000 square feet of office space that is 57.6% leased to tenants, including Schiller Ducanto & Fleck, Meridian Compensation Partners and Stifel, among others. Two Conway features 120,354 square feet and is currently 55% leased. The two assets offer a campus-like feel with shared amenities, including a conference facility, fitness center, café, underground executive parking and wifi lounge. Ownership plans to add a Grab ‘n’ Go cafeteria, a new training room and outdoor amenities such as picnic tables and fire pits in the coming months.

The JLL Capital Markets team representing the borrower was led by Managing Director Christopher Carroll and Director Lucas Borges.
