“ Due to its proximity to our downtown Chicago national headquarters, 3711 South Ashland Avenue is a flagship property in our growing national portfolio, so it was important that we made it something really special. Partnering with an artist of Ellen Rutt’s caliber—to turn our vision into a reality in record time during a global pandemic—was an unanticipated dream come true, thanks largely to our friend and producer Nick Marzullo.” — AARON MARTELL, Executive Vice President – Central Region, Logistics Property Company
Opportunity:
Gift the community and avoid graffiti on a 266’ x 38’ wall on a modern logistics facility in downtown Chicago.
