NAI Hiffman Brokers 1.2 Million Square Foot Lease Extension for True Value Company

HARVARD, Ill., July 28 /PRNewswire/ — True Value Company has signed a 10 year lease renewal with Mirvac Industrial Trust (Mirvac) for 1,194,650 square feet at 308 S. Division Street in Harvard, Illinois.  John Cash, SIOR and David Haigh of NAI Hiffman facilitated the negotiations between Chicago-based True Value Company and Mirvac, an Australian-based REIT. NAI Hiffman has been retained by Mirvac to lease the remaining 139,500 square feet of available warehouse space in the building.  
Located on 60 acres, the 1.3 million square foot facility was originally owned by True Value Company and sold in 1998 as part of a sale-leaseback transaction. Mirvac purchased the facility in subsequent years as part of their expansion into the Chicago industrial market.  

“This lease extension was a great opportunity for Mirvac to continue its mutually beneficial relationship with True Value,” says Richard LeBrun, vice president with NAI Hiffman’s Asset Management Group.  “This is one of several large renewals we have facilitated for Mirvac in their Chicago portfolio, and we are very happy to see the market continue to support these major transactions.”
