The Simborg Companies
Simborg Industrial Real Estate, Inc., Simborg Development, Inc. and Simborg Commercial Real Estate LLC have a proud forty year tradition of developing office and industrial facilities in Northwest Indiana and the Chicago Metropolitan Area, as well as elsewhere in the United States. In the last few years, SCRE has begun to develop retail projects as well. The Simborg Companies have built or redeveloped over 30,000,000 SF of space and currently manage the more than six million square feet of properties it owns in the Northwest Indiana/Chicagoland area. We are experts in the design, construction and redevelopment of office, manufacturing and distribution facilities.

As experienced general contractors that are based in the Northwest Indiana/Chicagoland area, we have concentrated on hiring and developing relationships with contractors and tradesmen who also are based in our area.

Our extensive experience in developing real estate exclusively for industrial, commercial, service centers and office buildings has made us specialists in this field. Because all our efforts are concentrated on developing real estate for commercial uses, we are experts at controlling costs, schedules and project management. We are also experienced and skilled with helping companies make use of real estate tax abatement programs and state and municipal assisted financing programs as well.

Thus, whether constructing new projects or performing maintenance and repair work the 50 buildings it owns and operates in this area, we have unequaled access to the experienced local trades people.

Below are brief descriptions of some of our projects:

  • Keebler Company hired Simborg Development, Inc., after a national selection process, as the developer to renovate the existing Keebler baking and distribution facility located in Chicago, Illinois. The project required renovating the existing facility and a nearby 70,000 square foot building, and linking the two buildings together over a 1.5-acre vacant parcel with an additional 154,000 square feet of new, state-of-the-art manufacturing space. The size of the total facility is approximately 267,000 square feet. SDI completed the job on-time and on-budget. SDI also was responsible for coordinating all of the activities related to obtaining governmental benefits for the project.
