Commercial Property Executive – October 8, 2024: “Sentinel Inks 2 New Leases in Suburban Chicago.” This article details new leasing activity at Sentinel’s Bannockburn Corporate Center (the same suburban Chicago office asset acquired in 2023). AON, the global insurance firm, signed on for ~40,000 sq. ft. of former vacated space, and engineering firm Baxter & Woodman leased ~4,768 sq. ft., both planning to occupy by end of 2024[23][24]. JLL’s Chris Cummins represented Sentinel in both deals. The story points out that Bannockburn Corporate Center (209,000 sq. ft.) was purchased by Sentinel in 2023 for $28.6M[25], and these lease wins underscore the appeal of well-located suburban offices post-pandemic (modern amenities, transit access, lower costs). Sentinel’s Cisterna commented that securing AON and Baxter & Woodman validates the property’s momentum and the broader trend of companies embracing quality suburban offices[26][27].
