NAI Hiffman represented Hummingbird Pediatric Therapies in its expansion to a third location in Chicago’s west suburbs. Hummingbird signed a lease for 10,523 square feet within a single-story office building at 501 W. Lake St. in Elmhurst, Illinois.

Renovation of the space is underway, with the facility – to be formally named the Hummingbird Therapy & Enrichment Elmhurst Center – slated to open in summer 2024.

Aubrey Englund, executive vice president, office services, at Oakbrook Terrace, Ill.-based NAI Hiffman, represented Hummingbird in the transaction. Norm Murdoch of Chicago-based Bradford Allen represented the landlord.

Prior to this lease, Englund represented Hummingbird in three other leases totaling 27,000 square feet: the 10,000-square-foot Woodridge center that opened at 9018 Heritage Parkway in early 2022, and two expansions at the Westmont location, 750 Pasquinelli Drive, which now spans over 17,000 square feet.

Hummingbird offers a wide variety of speech, feeding, occupational, physical and developmental therapies, as well as counseling, Hummingbird Children’s Academy and more. The growing practice has approximately 70 employees, many of whom have advanced degrees in pediatric therapy. Hummingbird’s founder, Christina Scalise-Morrissey, opened her private practice after serving as clinical coordinator at Elmhurst Memorial Hospital.

During 2023, Englund closed 24 transactions totaling 204,000 square feet. They included several expansions, and she helped four clients achieve an overall average square footage increase of at least 300%.
