Clorox Warehouse to Undergo Renovation

BEDFORD PARK-A 230,100-sf warehouse in this southwest suburb of Chicago will be redeveloped after a $2.15-million sale by Oakland-based Clorox Inc. CAPG 65th LLC, a food processor and distributor, is planning to move into the renovated building at 7123 W. 65th St. next year.

“CAPG essentially bought the building for the cost of the land,” says Grubb & Ellis senior associate Larry Goldwasser. In addition to the building that Clorox used to make Brillo pads, the deal includes 15,500 sf of land, according to property records.

The renovation is the first at the building in 44 years. The brick and steel property, which is served by a rail line, was built in 1954.

The acquisition was swung with a $1.72-million mortgage from American Chartered Bank, according to property records.

CAPG originally was looking for a new facility in the city, but was unsuccessful.
