One year after the start of the coronavirus pandemic, the Chicago-area industrial market’s vacancy and rental rates have nearly returned to pre-pandemic levels, according to a new report from Newmark.
Although the industrial sector took a hit in the first few weeks of the crisis, it began climbing back once the shock wore off and tenants saw increased demand from homebound consumers purchasing goods online. Many resumed signing leases, sending vacancy down to 6.2% in Q1 2021, a decade low, and recently have shown a willingness to pay more for space. Courtesy of Newmark
“This sentiment of only a slight dip in the market as opposed to a full long-term stop is reflected in the rental rates on transactions completed during the pandemic,” according to the Newmark report.
Stephen Green If you’re a WGN-TV or radio patron of a certain age, you’ve heard the name Jack Rosenberg. He was the sports editor for both, and his name appeared in the credits after Cubs TV broadcasts. But when you think of a sports editor, a newspaper probably pops into your head before any kind of a broadcast. What were Rosenberg’s responsibilities? ‘‘Everything,’’ said Bob Vorwald, the director of production at WGN-TV and an apprentice of Rosenberg’s. ‘‘He was George Bailey, Damon Runyon and Vin Scully all rolled into one.’’ Rosenberg, who died Sunday at 94, was the last link for generations of Cubs fans to a golden age of broadcasting. With announcing legends such as Jack Brickhouse, Lou Boudreau, Vince Lloyd and Jack Quinlan, ‘‘Rosey’’ helped pioneer an industry and turn a local team into a national phenomenon.
For a kid from Pekin – for a kid from anywhere – Jack Rosenberg led an amazing life.
Not everybody can say they helped transform televised coverage of sports. And that coverage helped transform local lovable losers into a major-league baseball franchise with national appeal.
Rosenberg died last weekend in Chicago. He was 94.
For more than 40 years, Rosenberg was sports editor at WGN radio and television in Chicago. He joined others with Peoria-area lineage in creating what became a TV sports superstation that beamed Chicago Cubs games into living rooms across the country.
Rosenberg helped Cubs voices Jack Brickhouse and Harry Caray become Baseball Hall of Fame award-winners and national personalities. Rosenberg also shepherded scores of budding broadcasters and earned a sterling reputation in his profession.
