NAI Hiffman and Hiffman National, the firm’s property management and advisory services division, announced that Chicago-based fashion retailer AKIRA has executed a long-term lease extension for 202,105 square feet of warehouse space at 150 E. Crossroads Parkway, Unit A, in Bolingbrook, Illinois.

The extension allows AKIRA to maintain and expand its distribution operations in the Interstate 55 Corridor, one of the Chicago area’s premier industrial submarkets. The NAI Hiffman brokerage team of Dan Leahy and Dan O’Neill represented AKIRA in the transaction.

“This transaction reflects the value of a strategic, data-driven real estate approach,” said Leahy, executive vice president at NAI Hiffman. “By thoroughly evaluating both on-market and off-market opportunities, we were able to help AKIRA make a well-informed decision that supports its continued growth, automation implementation and operational efficiency in the Midwest.”

The extended lease allows AKIRA to maintain its established distribution footprint while supporting future expansion. The property is owned by Prologis.
