JLL Income Property Trust Acquires Parking Garage in Chicago’s Vibrant River North Area
January 20, 2015 — Chicago
Jones Lang LaSalle Income Property Trust, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZIPTAX; ZIPTMX; ZIPIAX; ZIPIMX), an institutionally-managed, non-listed, daily valued perpetual life REIT, today announced it acquired on December 23, 2014, the six-story, 366-stall parking garage known as Ohio Ontario Self Park. The parking garage is a component of the mixed-use development located at 33 W. Ontario Street in Chicago’s River North area containing a 59-story, 364-unit condominium tower with its own deeded parking and ground-level retail. The purchase price was $16.9 million with an estimated capitalization rate based on purchase price of 6.7 percent.
The property is strategically positioned at the epicenter of Chicago’s River North submarket, a bustling office and retail area just north of Chicago’s Loop. River North’s growing residential community and numerous hotels and restaurants support one of the nation’s most dynamic 24/7 submarkets. The parking garage benefits from having two entrances accessing both the Ohio Street, inbound and Ontario Street, outbound lanes leading to the Kennedy Expressway, the main thoroughfare for commuters to and from downtown Chicago.
“This investment furthers our diversification objectives and offers JLL Income Property Trust stable cash flow with strong potential to increase revenue by closing the gap on submarket parking rates and taking advantage of the location’s robust demand from a growing residential, hotel, office, retail and entertainment supply,” commented Allan Swaringen, President and CEO of JLL Income Property Trust.
In conjunction with the acquisition, JLL Income Property Trust entered into a lease with a subsidiary of Imperial Parking, a firm founded in Vancouver in 1962. Today they are one of the largest parking facility managers in North America, operating 2,600 parking facilities in 34 cities throughout the United States and Canada.
