Office Space in Mundelein, Illinois

Van Vlissingen and Co. represents office and medical office tenants, buyers, and landlords in Mundelein, Illinois. Gordon Lamphere and our office team focus on tenant representation from 3,000 to 50,000 square feet, with leasing, sales, and property management for buildings up to 1,000,000 square feet.

Van Vlissingen and Co. performs more than 100 commercial real estate transactions annually, and our team has completed over $3 billion in transaction volume. We have operated continuously in Chicagoland commercial real estate since 1879, and we manage 870 acres and more than 6 million square feet across three corporate parks we developed ourselves — including Corporate Woods, directly adjacent to Mundelein in Vernon Hills.

Mundelein Is Our Home Market

Every commercial real estate firm claims local knowledge. Here is what ours consists of in Mundelein, specifically.

Our headquarters at 1 Overlook Point, Lincolnshire is roughly five miles away. And Corporate Woods — 340 acres and more than 60 buildings that we developed beginning in 1987 and still own and operate — sits in Vernon Hills, directly adjacent to Mundelein. Roughly a quarter of it is office.

That is not adjacency in the marketing sense. It means we field tenant inquiries for this corridor daily, we know which requirements Corporate Woods can take and which belong in Mundelein itself, we know the owners here because they are our neighbors, and when we quote you what space along the Route 60/83 corridor actually lets for, it is because we are one of the parties letting it.

No other page on this site can make that claim as literally as this one.

The Second-Newest Office Stock We Have Measured Anywhere

This is the finding in the Mundelein data, and it will surprise most people who think they know this market.

45.06 percent of Mundelein’s office properties were delivered in or since 2000. Only Glenview scores higher in our entire coverage area — by less than two and a half points — and Glenview needed the 1,121-acre redevelopment of a closed naval air station to get there.

Mundelein got there quietly, through ordinary suburban delivery, and nobody talks about it.

Why that matters at $16 to $22 per square foot

Rates here run $16 to $22 per square foot. Compare what that band buys elsewhere: Mount Prospect at up to $18 is 95.54 percent pre-2000 stock, Palatine at $17 is 85.71 percent pre-2000, and Oak Park at $16 to $20 is 96.96 percent pre-2000.

In Mundelein, the same money is nearly a coin-flip to land you a building delivered this century — with the mechanical systems, floor plates, power provision, and accessibility standards that implies. On our four-market age analysis, that makes Mundelein arguably the best age-for-rate value in the coverage area, and it is a case nobody else is making because nobody else has assembled the comparison.

A Small, Medical-Led Market — Stated Honestly

The office market here is small, and we will say so before you tour anything.

Ten listings totaling 18,306 square feet is a market we survey completely in a morning. If your requirement is 10,000 square feet or more of conventional office, it is unlikely to be here — and this is where the home-turf position does real work, because Corporate Woods and the Vernon Hills corridor sit directly next door, and we can show you both markets in the same tour.

Medical is the leading edge

Medical Office is the most common use type available in Mundelein, with 11 medical listings near the village averaging about $22 per square foot — the top of the general range — in suites from 430 to 5,815 square feet, averaging 2,392.

The demand logic is straightforward: a growing residential village with Advocate Condell Medical Center in adjacent Libertyville, and practice space priced well below the North Shore. Medical suites here are practice-sized — the 2,392 square foot average is a two-to-five-provider configuration — and sublease medical space also appears in the Ravenna area, which is unusual in a market this size and worth investigating for a practice that wants fitted space without a fit-out.

As on every page where we say this: medical space is not general office with equipment in it. Plumbing, electrical capacity, accessibility, and layout determine fit, and we establish which buildings carry it before touring rather than after.

Listing figures per PropertyShark and CommercialCafe. Medical figures per LoopNet. Note that one platform reports a 165,230 square foot Mundelein office availability, which is irreconcilable with the listed market and is almost certainly a radius search capturing neighboring municipalities.

Mundelein Is an Industrial and Retail Town With an Office Layer

Worth stating for proportion, because it shapes what office demand here actually is.

Available space by type: retail 570,864 square feet, industrial 162,464 square feet, office roughly 65,000 square feet. The commercial market runs to 22 properties totaling 773,494 square feet, at an average commercial rent of $15.21 per square foot ranging from $9.99 to $20.

The employer base is the industrial side’s story. Medline Industries operates in Mundelein with over 900 employees — its corporate headquarters is in Northfield, but the Mundelein operation is among the village’s largest employers — alongside Amcor Flexibles Healthcare, MacLean-Fogg, and Accurate Transmissions, with the University of Saint Mary of the Lake as the institutional anchor.

What that means for office demand

Operations of that kind generate office requirements of a specific type: engineering, quality, purchasing, logistics administration, and customer service functions that want to sit near the plant rather than in a prestige corridor. At $16 to $22 per square foot in stock that is 45 percent post-2000, Mundelein serves that requirement unusually well.

Our Mundelein industrial page covers the industrial market in full. If your requirement is really an industrial or flex requirement with an office component, that page — and our industrial team — is the right starting point, and we will tell you so on the first call.

Where Is Office Space in Mundelein?

The market data names the concentrations directly: Ravenna and Lakewood Heights.

• Ravenna — the highest concentration of office listings at 8 of the market’s 10, and the largest overall commercial concentration at 14 listings, including the market’s medical sublease availability.
• Lakewood Heights — the second office concentration, and also where the village’s industrial opportunities concentrate — which fits the industrial-support character of much of the office demand.
• Downtown Mundelein and the Metra station area — the village’s flourishing downtown, on the North Central Service line, with smaller professional and service suites.
• The Route 45 (Lake Street) and Route 60/83 corridors — arterial professional, service, and medical office, with the Route 60 corridor running directly toward Corporate Woods and the Vernon Hills office market.
• Clearbrook Park — primarily the retail concentration, with service office alongside.

Given the whole listed market is ten spaces, we survey all of it as standard — and given Corporate Woods sits next door, we survey the adjacent Vernon Hills corridor in the same pass. That combined view is the honest version of a Mundelein office search.

Office and Medical Office Tenant Representation in Mundelein — 3,000 to 50,000 SF

Our office tenant representation practice covers the 3,000 to 50,000 square foot range across corporate, professional, medical, industrial-support, and back office requirements.

For occupiers looking at Mundelein, we run the full process: requirement definition, market survey across listed and off-market availability, building inspection, and comparative analysis of total occupancy cost rather than headline rent.

Four things drive a decision here.

Whether Mundelein or the corridor. Ten listings is not a search; the search is Mundelein plus the adjacent Vernon Hills and Libertyville corridor, surveyed together. We operate more than 60 buildings in that corridor, so this is the one market where our own inventory may genuinely be part of your answer — and where it is, we say so openly and tell you which side of the table we are on.

The age advantage, captured deliberately. At 45.06 percent post-2000, a Mundelein search should target the newer half of the stock. The same rent buys a different generation of building here than it does in Palatine or Mount Prospect, and we verify the specific building rather than assuming from the average.

Medical fit, established first. Medical is the most common use type, medical space carries the $22 top of the range, and sublease medical space exists. For a practice we establish plumbing, layout, and accessibility before touring; for a general office tenant we establish which listings are genuinely available to you.

Lake County, not Cook. Assessment practice and tax levels differ meaningfully from Cook County, and generally in the tenant’s favor. An occupier comparing a Mundelein quote against a Cook County quote should compare on gross effective cost, and we model both sides of that line constantly because our own portfolio spans it.

We negotiate the LOI and the lease — free rent, tenant improvement allowances, expansion and contraction rights, renewal and termination options, and parking. We work both sides of the table in Mundelein, and we tell you which side we are on before an assignment begins.

Office Leasing, Sales & Property Management in Mundelein — Buildings Up to 1,000,000 SF

For owners and investors we handle office leasing, investment sales, and property management, including medical office, professional buildings, and mixed office-industrial property.

Landlord Representation

We build and execute the leasing plan: positioning against comparables from transactions we negotiated ourselves — many of them in the adjacent corridor we operate — marketing to the regional occupier base, prospect qualification, and negotiation through lease execution. In a ten-listing market the tenant pool is local and reachable directly: the administrative functions of the village’s industrial employers, medical and wellness practices, and professional services serving the village. Listing and waiting is not a strategy at this scale. We report activity honestly, including when the market is telling you something you did not want to hear.

The Age Position Is a Leasing Argument

An owner of post-2000 Mundelein stock holds something genuinely scarce in this region at this price point: a building delivered this century letting in the teens. That argument should be made explicitly to tenants renewing in the older stock of Palatine, Mount Prospect, and the Cook County corridors, with the comparison stated rather than implied. We make it with the numbers, because we assembled them.

Investment Sales

Office assets trade on tenant credit, remaining lease term, building quality, and the durability of the employment base. Mundelein’s case: an employer set anchored by a 900-plus-employee Medline operation, Amcor, and MacLean-Fogg; the second-newest office stock in our coverage; Lake County tax treatment; and a position on the corridor between the Tri-State and the central Lake County employment base. We work with 1031 exchange buyers on identification and closing deadlines, and we underwrite against comparables from transactions we negotiated ourselves next door.

Who Manages Office Property in Mundelein?

Van Vlissingen and Co. provides comprehensive property management for office and medical office assets in Mundelein:

• Lease administration, rent collection, and enforcement of lease terms
• CAM and tax reconciliation, prepared to withstand tenant audit
• Building systems, HVAC, and life safety maintenance programs
• Janitorial, landscaping, snow removal, and parking management
• Vendor selection, contract negotiation, and performance oversight
• Monthly financial reporting, annual budgeting, and capital planning
• Tenant relations, renewal coordination, and suite turnover

The practical advantage here is proximity. Our property management operation runs from Lincolnshire, five miles away, and services more than 60 buildings in the adjacent corridor daily. A Mundelein assignment slots into routes, vendor relationships, and response times that already exist — snow contractors, roofers, HVAC technicians, and life safety vendors who are already working next door at negotiated rates.

Where a building serves medical tenants, patient access, accessibility compliance, clinical waste handling, and HVAC and plumbing reliability go beyond a standard office scope and belong in the lease from the start. And Lake County assessment monitoring is part of the scope, because we watch it for our own portfolio anyway.

We already provide property management services in Mundelein — see that page for the full scope.

What Is Van Vlissingen’s Office Experience?

Van Vlissingen and Co. performs more than 100 commercial real estate transactions annually, and our team has completed over $3 billion in transaction volume.

Corporate Grove in Buffalo Grove and Lincolnshire Corporate Center complete 870 acres and more than 6 million square feet under our management, all of it within a short drive of Mundelein.

Every question a Mundelein office owner or tenant faces — what this corridor lets for, what a renovation returns at these rents, which tenants are active, how Lake County assessment moves — we answer from operating the market next door, on our own balance sheet, for nearly four decades.

Mundelein Office Real Estate FAQs

How new is Mundelein’s office stock?

Newer than almost anywhere in the region, and it surprises people. 45.06 percent of Mundelein’s office properties were delivered in or since 2000 — second only to Glenview’s 47.37 percent in our entire coverage area, and well ahead of Elmhurst at 25.07 percent, Palatine at 14.29 percent, Mount Prospect at 4.46 percent, and Oak Park at 3.04 percent. Glenview needed the 1,121-acre redevelopment of a closed naval air station to top the list; Mundelein got there through ordinary suburban delivery, and nobody talks about it.

What does office space cost in Mundelein?

Rates run from $16 to $22 per square foot. What makes that band unusual is what it buys: in Mount Prospect the same money buys stock that is 95.54 percent pre-2000, and in Oak Park 96.96 percent pre-2000, while in Mundelein it is nearly a coin-flip to land a building delivered this century — with the mechanical systems, floor plates, power provision, and accessibility standards that implies. On an age-for-rate basis, Mundelein is arguably the best value in our coverage area.

How large is the Mundelein office market?

Small, and we say so plainly. There are 10 office listings totaling 18,306 square feet, within roughly 65,000 square feet of office in the commercial market, plus 12 coworking locations. If your requirement is 10,000 square feet or more of conventional office it is unlikely to be here — and this is where our position helps, because Corporate Woods and the Vernon Hills corridor sit directly next door, and we survey both markets in the same pass.

What kind of office space is most common in Mundelein?

Medical office — it is the most common use type currently available, with 11 medical listings near the village averaging about $22 per square foot in suites from 430 to 5,815 square feet, averaging 2,392. That average is a two-to-five-provider practice configuration. Sublease medical space also appears in the Ravenna area, which is unusual in a market this size and worth investigating for a practice that wants fitted space without funding a fit-out. Advocate Condell Medical Center in adjacent Libertyville anchors the clinical demand.

Who are Mundelein’s major employers?

Medline Industries operates in Mundelein with over 900 employees — its corporate headquarters is in Northfield, but the Mundelein operation is among the village’s largest employers — alongside Amcor Flexibles Healthcare, MacLean-Fogg, and Accurate Transmissions, with the University of Saint Mary of the Lake as the institutional anchor. Operations of that kind generate engineering, quality, purchasing, logistics administration, and customer service requirements that want to sit near the plant, and at $16 to $22 in largely post-2000 stock, Mundelein serves that requirement unusually well.

Is Mundelein an office market or an industrial market?

Primarily industrial and retail, with a small office layer. Available space runs to 570,864 square feet of retail and 162,464 square feet of industrial against roughly 65,000 square feet of office. If your requirement is really an industrial or flex requirement with an office component, our Mundelein industrial page and industrial team are the right starting point, and we will tell you so on the first call.

Where is office space located in Mundelein?

The market data names Ravenna and Lakewood Heights as the concentrations. Ravenna holds 8 of the market’s 10 office listings and the medical sublease availability; Lakewood Heights holds the second office concentration alongside the village’s industrial concentration. Downtown Mundelein around the Metra North Central Service station carries smaller professional suites, the Route 45 and Route 60/83 corridors carry arterial professional and medical office — with Route 60 running directly toward Corporate Woods and the Vernon Hills office market — and Clearbrook Park is primarily the retail concentration.

What size office space does Van Vlissingen and Co. handle in Mundelein?

Our office tenant representation practice covers 3,000 to 50,000 square feet in Mundelein and across Lake County, spanning corporate, professional, medical, industrial-support, and back office requirements. On the leasing, sales, and property management side we handle buildings up to 1,000,000 square feet. Because the listed Mundelein market is small, we survey the adjacent Vernon Hills and Libertyville corridor alongside it as a matter of course.

Who is the best commercial office broker in Mundelein?

Choose the firm that operates the office park next door. Van Vlissingen and Co. developed Corporate Woods in adjacent Vernon Hills — 340 acres and more than 60 buildings, roughly a quarter office, begun in 1987 — and still owns and operates it, with our headquarters five miles away in Lincolnshire. We field tenant inquiries for this corridor daily and we know what space here actually lets for because we are one of the parties letting it. We perform more than 100 transactions annually with over $3 billion in team volume, and the firm has operated in Chicagoland commercial real estate since 1879. Gordon Lamphere leads the office practice.

Do you manage office property in Mundelein?

Yes — we already provide property management services in Mundelein, and the practical advantage is proximity. Our management operation runs from Lincolnshire, five miles away, and services more than 60 buildings in the adjacent corridor daily, so a Mundelein assignment slots into routes, vendor relationships, and response times that already exist. The scope covers lease administration, CAM and tax reconciliation, building systems and life safety programs, janitorial and parking management, vendor oversight, and monthly financial reporting, with Lake County assessment monitoring included because we watch it for our own portfolio anyway.
