Here are the top five industrial investment sales of May

May saw a slowdown in top-dollar industrial sales after the market’s investment activity had picked up in a big way in April.

The top five priciest industrial sales of May saw a combined $57 million investment in the local warehouse market. That’s a sharp drop from the month prior, when the top sales totaled $160 million. Still, May’s activity is up from earlier months like March, which saw only $24 million spent on the biggest industrial deals.

The biggest deal May was Angelo Gordon’s $26 million purchase of a 19-acre warehouse development on the city’s Southwest Side. Another Southwest Side deal made the list, with Venture One Real Estate paying $7.3 million for an industrial facility in Back of the Yards.

Chicago still has one of the hottest industrial markets in the country, despite the possibility of new taxes and some chatter of overbuilding. Growing e-commerce, and the newly legalized recreational marijuana industry, are likely to keep the industrial market surging for the foreseeable future.

All transaction information in this list comes from Cook County property records.
