Special Circumstances
Although 365 Criss Circle has been vacant for over 24 months,in order to qualify for a
class 6b, it would need to fall under the special circumstances provision since it has not
been purchased since the vacancy started. The subject property has special circumstances,
which have made it difficult to lease,such as the fact that the 16-foot ceiling height, is
considered low for today's industrial/warehouse users. Additionally,the subject is 45-
years old,making it less desirable to many tenants looking for a newer building with
higher ceilings and a more modern layout. Lastly, the subject lacks rear access,which
has and will continue to diminish the marketability of the subject property to any
potential tenantsibuyers.
As stated above, the new lease is contingent upon the Village Board approving of the
Class 6b tax incentive for this property. This project is not economically feasible and
sustainable without an approved Class 6B tax incentive and the property will remain
vacant. Most potential tenants are also considering locations nearby but outside of Cook
County that have much lower real estate taxes.
