Assurance Agency is going to relocate its headquarters at the beginning of 2019 to Schaumburg, Ill. The brokerage firm has leased 75,000 square feet at Woodfield Preserve Office Center, committing to the entire sixth floor and a portion of the first floor at Woodfield Preserve II. JLL directed the lease on behalf of the tenant while CBRE represented the owner, Zeller Realty Group in the transaction.

The six-story building is located at 20 N. Martingdale Road and has been part of ZRG’s portfolio since 2016. The current owner bought both buildings making up the office center from KBS Realty Advisors for $73.3 million, according to real estate date provider Yardi Matrix.

The asset can be accessed via interstates 290 and 355. It is approximately 15 miles from Chicago O’Hare International Airport and 5250 Old Orchard Road, another ZRG office tower. Completed in 2001 on a 29-acre lot, the property offers views of the Ned Brown Forest Preserve.
