Inland Bank and Trust Closes $10 Million Industrial Loan with Logistics Property Co.

The project’s prime location underpins the allure of the deal

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Inland Bank and Trust (Inland Bank) and Logistics Property Company, LLC (LPC) are pleased to announce the closing of a $10,000,000 construction loan for the development of LPC’s 3711 South Ashland Avenue (Project) logistics center. The Project, situated at the northeast corner of Ashland Avenue and 38^th Street in Chicago’s McKinley Park neighborhood, is a 137,992-square-foot class leading speculative logistics building. Chris Metcalf, Senior Vice President – Head of Commercial Lending with Inland Bank, originated the loan.

3711 South Ashland, when completed in late summer 2020, will feature 32-foot clear height, 28 exterior loading docks, two drive-in doors and 138 automobile parking spaces. The building can also be subdivided to accommodate up to three tenants.

“Inland Bank found this to be an attractive opportunity due to the desirable location of the development site, ideally positioned within close proximity to Chicago’s Loop providing easy access to the entire Chicagoland area via I-55 and I-94,” said Metcalf. “Once completed, this highly functional industrial property will offer true one-hour delivery time to downtown Chicago.”

Aaron Martell, Executive Vice President – Midwest Region for LPC, will be managing the Project.

“LPC is thrilled with Inland Bank’s execution,” said Martell. “We’re looking forward to doing more deals with them.”
