CHICAGO — The Missner Group has acquired the Oxxford Building, located at 1220 W. Van Buren St. in Chicago. The firm plans to redevelop the 115,000-square-foot office/showroom and manufacturing building into a Class A loft office building. The seven-story property includes a basement and an 8,000-square-foot adjacent vacant lot, which serves as parking. Located in Chicago’s West Loop, 1220 West Van Buren is surrounded by new residential and commercial developments and offers frontage off the Eisenhower Expressway (I-290). The Missner Group’s redevelopment plans for 1220 West Van Buren include building out the space to include open floor plans, exposed ductwork, concrete and brick features as well as a tenant lounge with rooftop deck, fitness center, conference center, locker rooms and bike parking facilities. Oxxford Clothing, a manufacturer of men’s clothing, currently occupies the property. The firm has occupied the building for the past 67 years and at one time manufactured 35,000 suits per year. After a short-term lease, Oxxford will complete its transition to a new facility near Midway Airport. Ed Adler of The Missner Group led the acquisition for the firm. Ari Klein, Larry Goldwasser and Colin Green of Cushman and Wakefield represented Oxxford in the transaction.
