Elbaum, Principals and Co-Founders of Bradford Allen, are pleased to announce that Senior Managing Director Joel Berger has completed a 16,500-square-foot renewal lease between Vail Systems, Inc. and the ownership of 570 Lake Cook Road in Deerfield, IL.

“The ownership was thrilled that Vail decided to renew at 570 Lake Cook Road,” said Berger. “I believe Vail placed value on having the Metra platform attached to the building’s parking lot, the underground heated parking garage, and ownership’s commitment to upgrading the property overall.”

Bradford Allen Completes 10,500-SF Lease in Elmhurst, IL

Chicago, IL — Jeffrey A. Bernstein and Laurence B. Elbaum, Principals and Co-Founders of Bradford Allen, are pleased to announce that Managing Director Norm Murdoch completed a new 10,500-square-foot lease between Parkway Dental Services, LLC and the ownership of 501 West Lake. Parkway, a dental supplies and equipment provider, signed a seven-year lease for their first Illinois location.

“Parkway Dental sought a centrally located property within the Chicagoland suburbs with easy access for both clients and staff. In addition, they wanted the ability to be up and running quickly. We were excited to be able to fulfill both requirements with 501 West Lake, which is highly accessible to I-290, 1-294, and Route 83, in addition to its close proximity to the downtown Elmhurst Metra. It also happens to have been previously occupied by a tenant in the same industry, so the existing conditions were ideal for Parkway’s needs,” explained Murdoch.

Parkway was founded in New Jersey in 1975 and remains a family-operated business to this day. Serving the New Jersey, Delaware, and Eastern Pennsylvania dental community for over 40 years, their commitment to delivering a great experience for the dental team has allowed them to grow into a regionally known, highly respected, full-service provider of dental supplies and equipment.

“This transaction highlights Norm’s instincts and deep market knowledge. His understanding of the tenant’s needs, coupled with his awareness of the unique attributes of this particular space, allowed him to structure this deal to the benefit of both parties,” said Elbaum.

PWA provides support in navigating the challenges, regulatory pressures, technology, and infrastructure necessary to provide high-quality service to clients and families. Upon the completion of the HighPoint merger, the firms will together manage over $8.5 billion in total client assets and support more than 200 financial advisors.
