ABOUT NORTH COOK

Bordering Lake Michigan and comprising many of Chicago’s most affluent zip codes, Northern Cook County consists of a cluster of densely packed communities with tree-lined streets and top-ranked school districts. Northern Cook County is also home to Northwestern University and its nationally ranked research facilities.

Manufacturers and logistics companies are drawn to North Cook County’s accessibility to the third-largest metropolitan area in the nation and the network of interstates that converge in this region. The area’s highly educated workforce and network of existing employers appeal to office and industrial users. Quite surprising for Chicago’s affluent North Shore, there are quite a few pockets of industrial tenants that long ago secured manufacturing, warehouse, and distribution space in such a residential enclave.

Yet many are here. Automotive manufacturer Tenneco (1.1 million square feet) makes Skokie its international headquarters, while medical manufacturer and distributor Medline Industries (657,000 square feet) establishes its operations out Northbrook. Morton Grove hosts Washington, D.C.-based global water technology provider Xylem (530,000 square feet) and locally built, engineering-solutions provider John Crane (500,000 square feet). In all, almost 30 companies occupy over 200,000 square feet of office, industrial, and flex space the Near North suburbs of Chicago.
