"Claymore looked at a number of west suburban locations and chose this one for its size, location and the opportunity for future growth," says David Trumpy of GVA Williams, who represented Claymore Securities. "We were able to connect the company with the right property at the right time."

While the western portion is the softer end of the East-West Corridor, where total office vacancy approaches 30%, James King of Five Crown Capital LLC fared well. Property records indicate 2455 W. Corporate Woods Dr. was acquired for $5.5 million in late 2002. David Lind of CB Richard Ellis represented King.

Property records also show LaSalle Bank financed the purchase with a $6.2-million mortgage.
