"We've been looking for a way to enter the Chicago market for almost two years," says Panattoni Development President Dudley Mitchell. "This acquisition not only allows us to enter the market, but gives us a firm base from which to expand in the future."
Privately-held Panattoni has developed more than 60 million sf of build-to-suit projects in the US as well as currently managing 15 million sf.
