Chicago – Venture One Real Estate, LLC, through its acquisition fund, VK Industrial I, LP, has closed on a 44,104 square foot industrial building at 2011 Swanson Court in Gurnee, Illinois.
The property was built in 1976 and added on to in 1988. It is a food grade distribution and production facility that is fully air conditioned and has land for expansion.

We look forward to a long relationship with their company,” said David Moore, the CEO of Woodland Foods.
