It’s been a busy start to the new year here in Northeast Ohio, and spring is right around the corner. Our industrial team at JLL has closed several notable transactions so far in Q1, in addition to bringing a number of new listings to market. Below is a summary of those closed deals and new listings.
Closed Deals:

The property sits on 1.75 acres and contains various warehouse areas with different layouts, and clear heights ranging from 12′ to 17′. The property has 5 drive-in doors, 2 loading docks, and a large parking lot in the back with access off Chatfield Road.

34550 Chester Road, Avon
Sold: In March, our team successfully closed on the sale of this 1972 built, 5,040 SF industrial building that sits on 5 acres and features 302′ of frontage directly on Chester Road.
