1520, Pratt Blvd- Elk Grove Village. Illinois IN:08-34-40-3-020-0001
BW Pratt Boulevard, LLC("Applicant") is requesting a Resolution in support and consent of a
Class 6b Incentive on the above-referenced property based on occupation of an abandoned property that
has been vacant for less than 24 continuous months with a purchase for value,special circumstances and
substantial rehabilitation, The Applicant plans on purchasing the subject property and its related entity,
Blue Water Builders, Inc.,plans on occupying approximately 51%of the facility for its use consisting of
light assembly,warehousing and distribution of products used in the construction industry. The Applicant
also plans on leasing the remaining approximately 49%of the facility to an industrial user.
The subject property consists of an approximately 108,255 square foot site with a roughly 64,121
square foot building that has been 100%vacant and unused since December 2, 2017. The subject
property is in need of substantial rehabilitation. Therefore, the Applicant plans to invest approximately
$306,300 to immediately rehabilitate the subject property. Based on initial inspections these
improvements will be to update the facade,update the landscaping,add a new illuminated and backlit
monument sign as well as a new wall mounted illuminated and backlit sign,repair and paint existing
exterior doors, tuckpoint where necessary,repair damaged masonry, install a new loading dock drive
apron per Elk Grove Village standards,repair the sidewalk leading to the entrance,install new exterior
windows, install new exterior lighting,repair and update the parking lot,install new metal awnings,paint
the interior, upgrade the interior floors, update the office and upgrade the warehouse as well as to
complete other general maintenance.
Please note,however,that all of the rehabilitation costs could significantly vary depending on a
variety of factors such as market variances. Further inspections of the subject property may require
additional improvements. The rehabilitation will create approximately 25 to 30 construction jobs.
Blue Water Builders,Inc. currently leases approximately 11,000 square feet in Elk Grove Village
at 2450 United Lane and has 18 employees(all full-time). Blue Water Builders, Inc.'s busincss is
growing and they need to expand their operation as soon as possible, Therefore, Blue Water Builders,
Inc. plans to move its entire operation to the subject property and bring 18 of its employees to the
property and plans on adding approximately 3 to 4 new employees (all full-time)as soon as possible at
the property, Additionally, Blue Water Builders, Inc. will look to hire all qualified Elk Grove Village
residents for future hires. In add'ition, the Applicant expects that an industrial user in the other
approximately 49%of the facility should bring anywhere from 10 to 25 employees.
Elk Grove Village can also expect that Blue Water Builders, Inc. and its employees as well as the
other tenant to invest commercially back into the community by visiting local establishments such as
restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores and more. In addition,Elk Grove Village can expect that Blue
Water Builders, Inc. and the other tenant will attract business and various customers to the Village in the
course of their operations.
Based on our research and the additional costs that must be incurred to rehabilitate the building in
order for this to be a successful endeavor,the Applicant must possess a Class 6b Incentive to complete the
substantial rehabilitation thereof and to successfully operate the property. It is for these reasons that it is
necessary to grant the Applicant a Resolution in support and consent of a Class 6b Incentive for the
subject property based on occupation of an abandoned property that has been vacant for less than 24
continuous months with a purchase for value, special circumstances and substantial rehabilitation.
