FUR Winthrop Realty Trust New (delisted)

Winthrop Realty Trust, announced that it signed a new lease with Joseph T. Ryerson & Son, Inc. for the 3-story, 54,000 square foot 1050 Warrenville Road, Corporetum Office Campus, in Lisle, IL. It is located less than 30 minutes southwest of O�Hare International Airport and approximately 40 minutes west of downtown Chicago. Acquired by WRT-1050 Holdings LLC in early 2006, it had been previously vacant for five years. Ryerson, a leading fabricator and distributor of steel products, leased the entire building under a long-term agreement. Jay Stewart, formerly of Trammell Crow, now with Grubb & Ellis, represented the tenant Ryerson in the transaction. �Despite the property�s extended vacancy, the 1050 building�s infrastructure offered Ryerson, as sole occupant, the ability to engage its worldwide data center, as well as provide first-class office space and incredible I-88 identity for the company. Both Winthrop and Ryerson were able to capitalize on the building�s attributes and exploit the tightening current market conditions,� said Dru Shoemaker, Leasing Agent for J.F. McKinney, who represented the building on behalf of Winthrop Realty Trust.
