Irgens purchased a three-building office portfolio in June 2015. The properties were originally constructed in the mid-1980s as part of a large master-planned development in a key suburban market. At close, the 118,607 square feet of real estate was 85% occupied by commercial tenants. The buildings, however, were dated and in need of a strong capital infusion to address repairs and updates.


After acquiring the properties, Irgens invested more than $1 million in capital improvements. Areas of immediate focus were landscaping, parking lots, interior common areas, signage and HVAC systems. Once complete, Irgens experienced increased tenant satisfaction and the firm’s brokerage team was able to secure new, long-term leases to further enhance the investment value.


Planned infrastructure improvements between Brookfield Lakes and Irgens’ 66-acre adjacent development, The Corridor, allowed for building occupants to access the hotels, Life Time Fitness, restaurants, healthcare and retail providers.
