Savills Studley Represents Rail Europe in US Operations Center Move to Des Plaines
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) January 27, 2016 -- Savills Studley represented Rail Europe in its lease negotiation to relocate into 23,543 square feet of new office space at 1350 E. Touhy Ave in Des Plaines, IL. Rail Europe, the largest distributor of European rail products in North America, will move into its new US Operations Center in the O’Hare Submarket from Columbia Center II (9450 West Bryn Mawr) in Rosemont at the beginning of 2017.
Executive Vice President and Co-Head of Savills Studley’s Chicago Office Robert Sevim and Corporate Managing Director Jon Azulay represented the tenant; Fred Ishler from Transwestern represented the landlord.
“Rail Europe’s objective was to develop an environment that would enhance the effectiveness and engagement of its workforce, and contemplate expansion for future growth on the same floor plate,” said Sevim. “Relocating to 1350 E. Touhy provided the most economically viable opportunity for Rail Europe to successfully meet these requirements.”
Azulay added, “The building has invested in interior and exterior improvements, provides an amenity rich environment and is situated within the O’Hare marketplace – all attractive features to Rail Europe’s employees.”
Rail Europe has a long history of doing business in North America. Since opening shop in New York City in the 1930’s, the company has become the leading authority of European rail in North America, representing more than 50 European train companies.
