Corporate United Rentals Net Lease Investment For Sale: 4027 S Wells Street, Chicago, IL 60609

High-Yield 2.48-Acre Industrial Facility with Dual Revenue Streams Anchored by the World’s Largest Equipment Rental Corporate Entity

SRS National Net Lease Group is pleased to present an exceptional institutional acquisition opportunity situated within the heart of the core Chicago industrial market: 4027 S Wells Street, Chicago, IL 60609. Offered at a purchase price of $4,233,000, this highly stable industrial asset features a strong 6.75% Cap Rate, yielding an immediate, predictable Net Operating Income (NOI) of $285,711.

The offering represents a fee simple interest acquisition (land and building ownership) of a highly functional 12,000 SF freestanding industrial facility situated on a rare, expansive 2.48-acre land parcel. Currently 100% fully leased to United Rentals Realty, LLC, this property serves as a premier, recession-resistant vehicle for an institutional portfolio or a 1031 exchange buyer looking to lock in highly dependable cash flow backed by an elite global credit parent company within Cook County's tightest industrial submarket.

Bulletproof Corporate Fundamentals & Built-In Inflationary Hedges

When evaluating single-tenant industrial real estate, corporate tenant strength and rent growth are the ultimate drivers of long-term value. This asset delivers elite metrics across both categories:

  • World-Class Corporate Guaranty: The site is leased to United Rentals, Inc., the undisputed largest equipment rental company in the world. United Rentals operates an integrated global network of 1,465 rental locations in North America, with an extensive presence across 49 U.S. states, every Canadian province, and international hubs across Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

  • Predictable Rent Escalations & Extension Options: The tenant has 2.5 years remaining on their initial lease term, backed by three (3) additional 5-year option periods to extend, proving their long-term operational commitment to this exact infill location. Crucially, the lease features 2.5% annual rental increases throughout both the initial term and the option periods, providing an incoming owner with a compounding hedge against inflation and steadily growing NOI.

  • Insulated Lease Structure: Operating under a net lease framework, the tenant manages the primary day-to-day facility overhead, limiting operational expense exposure and creating a highly passive, management-free investment model for out-of-state owners.

Bonus Diversified Income: Long-Term Billboard Lease Structure

Unlike standard single-tenant assets that rely on a single tenant stream, 4027 S Wells Street features an active, highly profitable dual-income setup that dramatically boosts overall portfolio yield:

The Billboard Revenue Advantage: The property includes an on-site commercial billboard asset that adds an additional, highly lucrative $28,300 directly to the annual NOI. This billboard lease was just extended out through 2029 and features its own aggressive 3% annual rental increases. This secondary lease provides an absolute hands-off revenue injection that requires zero landlord maintenance, optimizing your overall capital capitalization yield.

Unmatched Infill Urban Logistics, Extreme Traffic, & Sports Hub Synergy

The underlying real estate value of this 2.48-acre site is driven by its exceptional proximity to downtown Chicago's dominant transit corridors and major public landmarks:

  • Immediate Interstate 90/94 (Dan Ryan Expressway) Access: The asset is strategically positioned near the direct on/off-ramp access gates to Interstate 90 & Interstate 94. This massive, critical transportation arterial averages a staggering 318,000+ vehicles passing by daily, providing industrial logistics fleets with lightning-fast transit connectivity to the entire Chicago MSA network.

  • Dense Urban Retail Synergy: S. Wells Street and S. Wentworth Avenue combine to route an additional 7,500 daily vehicles right past the property. The immediate trade ring is a thriving commercial hub, anchored by national credit brands including Target, Home Depot, Walgreens, Starbucks, DaVita, Fresenius, Wendy's, and Dunkin'.

  • Guaranteed Rate Field Proximity (MLB Stadium): The property sits in close proximity to Guaranteed Rate Field, the 40,600-seat home stadium of Major League Baseball's Chicago White Sox. This major sports landmark drives tremendous seasonal foot and vehicle traffic directly into the local trade zone, amplifying the property’s long-term land residual value.
