Client Objective:
Northeast Family Services, an established mental health therapeutic counseling practice with more than a dozen locations throughout New England and New York, sought to expand in Illinois with three locations: one each in Chicago’s South Loop neighborhood and western suburbs, and a third in Springfield, the state capital in the central part of the state.
With limited time in-state to tour prospective sites, the organization engaged hyper-local commercial real estate experts with hands-on experience in the desired locales to support their expansion effort. Calamos Real Estate was selected for the Chicagoland west-suburban assignment which involved identifying a central DuPage County location.
Result:
A 2,149 RSF suite at Wheaton Office Center, less than a half-mile from the DuPage County Health Department in Wheaton, IL, was secured for Northeast Family Services.
The process included surveys, tours, RFPs, LOI and lease execution, along with post-lease support, provided by Calamos Real Estate. Specifically, it involved:
Extensive survey analysis and discussions to tightly narrow location prospects in consideration of the client having only a single available day for site walk-throughs.
Identifying modifications needed for clients intended use; unit build-out captured in Landlord’s Work.
Post-lease client support regarding municipal requirements and securing City of Wheaton Occupancy Permit.
