This purchase represents Westwood Financial's first foray into Chicago area real estate, Drogosz tells GlobeSt.com. "It's a good core holding, and a good location," Drogosz says. The company owns around 100 assets in other areas across the US, according to Drogosz.The center, which was developed in the late 1980s, is in the village's downtown district. The center has a 98% occupancy rate, with lease rates averaging in the mid-$20s, Drogosz says.
