CHICAGO (July 16, 2026) – Bradford Allen, a national full-service commercial real estate development and advisory firm, today announced it has executed two recent leases with Illinois Retina in the Chicago market. The medical services provider signed a 16,228-square foot lease in north suburban Skokie, Ill., as well as an 8,728-square-foot lease in Munster, Ind., 30 miles southeast of Chicago.

Craig Nadborne, executive managing director, brokerage services at Bradford Allen, negotiated the leases on behalf of Illinois Retina. Nadborne has completed more than a dozen lease renewals, relocations, expansions and renegotiations on behalf of Illinois Retina over the course of 20 years.

“For more than two decades, Illinois Retina has trusted us to help align its real estate with the needs of its physicians, staff and patients,” said Nadborne. “Relationships of that duration are built over time, and these latest transactions reflect the group’s growth and continued commitment to accessible, well-located care in the Chicago-area market.”

The Skokie office is located at Concourse Office Plaza, 4709-4711 Golf Road. The long-term transaction represented a renewal and expansion from approximately 3,000 square feet. The property, which is comprised of two 12-story medical office buildings, is located 1 mile from the Edens Expressway. Nearby amenities include Westfield Old Orchard mall, Endeavor Health Skokie Hospital and the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts.

Illinois Retina’s Munster location relocated from a smaller facility to 9200 Calumet Ave. as part of a long-term lease. The single-story medical office complex is located less than 2 miles from the Borman Expressway.

Suburban Chicago recorded its strongest first-half office net absorption since 2018, according to Bradford Allen’s Mid-Year 2026 Office Market Report: Suburban Chicago. Both vacancy and leasing activity improved modestly in the first half of 2026 compared to the end of last year, with over 2 million square feet of office space leased in the suburbs. New leasing drove the majority of activity in the first half of 2026, accounting for more than 80% of deals over 10,000 square feet.
