EVANSTON, ILL. — In a joint venture, Lubert-Adler and The Farbman Group have acquired a 154,000-square-foot, Class A office building in Evanston, a suburb of Chicago, for an undisclosed sales price. The property is located at 1007 Church St. The building, previously owned by a tenant-in-common group, had been taken over by a special servicer when the joint venture acquired its outstanding debt in February 2014. The property is located near Northwestern University and adjacent to a transit station. The building includes 351 parking spaces, two rooftop decks and an outdoor patio. The joint venture plans to improve the building, currently at 52 percent occupancy, and then lease the remaining vacancy. Lubert-Adler, which invests on behalf of leading national university endowments and state retirement systems, owns five other Chicagoland properties with The Farbman Group: 79 W. Monroe St., 209 W. Jackson Blvd., and 205 W. Randolph St., all in the Loop area, plus the Atrium Building in Naperville and 25 Northwest Point in Elk Grove Village.
