Chicago, IL – Bradford Allen Realty Services is pleased to announce that the firm’s Principal & Executive Managing Director Ben Azulay and Senior Managing Director Joel Berger have completed a new headquarter lease for 41,542 square feet on behalf of MedSpeed at 140 Industrial Drive in Elmhurst, Illinois.
In operation since 2000, MedSpeed is the industry leader in healthcare intra-company logistics with more than 2,200 MedSpeeders (employees) and 130 locations across the U.S. MedSpeed has leased space for its central support and Chicago operations within the Corporate Commerce Center for more than ten years.
Servicing healthcare organizations across the country, including 19 of the top 100 US health systems, MedSpeed has grown by 350% over the past five years. Due to this growth, the company required a new headquarters for its central support and Chicago operations, including warehouse space, and above average parking for their fleet of vehicles. As a result, Azulay and Berger sourced a unique and strategic opportunity: a single tenant flex office building with an extensive parking lot.
“We are pleased to have assisted MedSpeed in finding a solution for their specific operational requirements while providing a long-term home that will accommodate their growth well into the future,” said Azulay.
“Our significant growth is the result of the invaluable contributions of our customers and our incredible team of MedSpeeders,” said Wesley Crampton, COO of MedSpeed. “We needed a new space to accommodate our expanding team and wanted to make sure that it supported our culture of collaboration and comradery. We are thrilled with the new space that Bradford Allen helped us find.”
140 Industrial Drive was built in 1973 and offers a total of 41,542 square feet of flex space. The property is close to I-290, I-294, and I-80, within minutes of O’Hare Airport and offers 250 parking spaces. Azulay and Berger represented MedSpeed in the lease negotiations, and Patrick Lederer of Korman, Lederer & Associates represented 140 Industrial Drive.
