Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire the property located at 1445 11th Street in Waukegan, Illinois, leased to QXO. The subject property consists of approximately 82,500 square feet of warehouse space and is situated on 4.12 acres of land. The single-tenant asset features a clear height ranging between 12’ and 18’, three dock-high doors, two drive-in doors, a full sprinkler system, and 1.6 acres of fenced-in industrial outdoor storage space (IOS). Situated between Illinois Routes 131 and 137, the property conveniently sits north of the Great Lakes Naval Station with proximity to Interstate 94.

The subject property is well-positioned within the large North Lake County submarket, containing 44.2 million square feet of industrial space. In 2025, the submarket experienced a significant rebound in industrial demand as 1.1 million square feet were absorbed on net. With only 44,000 square feet of new deliveries on net, the vacancy rate in North Lake County contracted sharply by 230 basis points to 5.7 percent, comfortably below the 7.7 percent national average (based on the top 50 metros, classes A, B, & C, and minimum 10,000 square feet). The reduction in availability helped to support local rent growth as the average market rate grew by 4.2 percent annually (more than twice the level nationwide). With no construction projects underway in North Lake County, demand will continue to navigate vacancies and rents for the foreseeable future (CoStar).
