Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present 4949 Forest Avenue, a multitenant office property located in downtown Downers Grove, Illinois. The property consists of 6,320 square feet of rentable office space on three floors. The building was built for Illinois Bell as their office and has high quality construction and finishes rarely found in office buildings of this category. Adjacent to the property are new construction condominium developments, office medical properties and new construction office properties.

This property is 100 percent leased to two tenants. The upper area is leased to a Yoga Studio named Yoga Among Friends that has a sevenday-a-week operation and runs a high volume of business through this location. They occupy the second and the third floor. The first floor is leased to Ekanakar Church group that holds services on the first floor and has special designated activity areas on the lower level. The property has historically maintained high occupancy due to its in-fill location near public transportation.

Currently, the building is leased at below market rents - about 50 percent of the average rental rate for the area. This value-add investment allows an investor to acquire a premier location at a price substantially below replacement cost. The rents can be gradually increased to market levels as the leases roll over, which would increase the unleveraged return on investment to nearly 13 percent.unit
