Lake County has a diverse inventory of real estate options, ranging from shovel-ready land, to move-in-ready facilities and corporate campuses. The community's robust talent pipeline - spanning individuals with advanced degrees to those equipped with industry-aligned technical skills - is supported by strong partners, like the College of Lake County.
Importantly, Lake County Partners offers a highly responsive team that works closely with business leaders and decision-makers to support capital-intensive, strategic decision-making.
As a new member of LCP's Board of Governors, where do you hope to have the greatest impact?
I aim to align Lake County Partners' strategies with the ever-evolving needs of industry and corporate stakeholders. This includes collaborating with regional and state partners to ensure that Lake County remains competitive and responsive in a dynamic, challenging business environment.
What do Clayco/LJC clients view as the most significant opportunities for growth in the back half of 2025?
On the industrial side, significant opportunities continue for sites that have the ability to draw power, and are unencumbered by environmental or other regulatory hurdles. On the corporate side, companies are continuing to demand spaces that are designed to redefine a successful return to office. Finally, multi-family continues to be a need in the market, and early design partnership is leading to successful projects that pencil and can lock-in capital partners.
