Manufacturer triples space to accommodate office, manufacturing and showroom functions

NAI Hiffman, the Midwest’s leading independent commercial real estate firm, today announced it represented Pure Processing, a developer and manufacturer of ergonomic medical device cleaning solutions, in its 29,313-square-foot headquarters lease at 2200 Ogden Ave. in Lisle, Ill. The move triples the company’s footprint from its previous location in Carol Stream and consolidates its office, light manufacturing, warehouse and showroom operations under one roof. Pure Processing now occupies more than half of the 59,971-square-foot flex/light distribution building.

NAI Hiffman Executive Vice Presidents and Partners Steve Chrastka and Jack Brennan, along with Connor Dale, senior associate broker, represented Pure Processing in the transaction, which began with strategic planning and site selection in August 2024 and culminated in the firm’s move on Sept. 2, 2025. Pete Adamo, senior vice president with CBRE, represented the landlord, Sperry Equities.

“At first I was set on remaining in Carol Stream, but there weren’t many options that met our objectives,” said Dan Gusanders, founder and CEO of Pure Processing. “Steve Chrastka at NAI Hiffman encouraged me to think more creatively and helped me see the compelling reasons to widen our search. I also came to appreciate the strength of the team behind him. Conner Dale was constantly scouting opportunities, and Jack Brennan supported us on the industrial side.”

A midsize space that could house multiple office, industrial and showroom functions proved difficult to find in DuPage County. Chrastka said many properties lacked the right mix of ceiling height, office space or parking. The company also needed a dock and loading door for raw materials coming in and finished products going out.

However, persistence paid off through NAI Hiffman’s regular communication with agency leasing brokers in the submarket. “We were sending updates every few weeks describing exactly what we needed,” said Chrastka. “Then a CBRE broker called to say a tenant had just moved out, and it wasn’t even on the market yet. Because we’re active in the market and maintain those relationships, we were able to move quickly.”

The space at 2200 Ogden Ave. had more than 9,000 square feet of existing office space, saving Pure Processing significant costs in building out workspace from scratch within a warehouse. Owner Sperry Equities completed a turnkey build-out that included rebuilding and expanding office areas; enlarging breakrooms; and adding conference rooms, restrooms and warehouse space with storage racks and separate production and assembly areas. Construction also included a showroom where Pure Processing can display its high-end sink systems and reprocessing equipment used in hospitals and gastrointestinal labs.

“2200 Ogden not only meets every internal objective for our growing company, but the surrounding area has elevated our employee and customer in-office experience,” said Gusanders. “We host many customers and employees who travel in, and the amenities, hotels, restaurants and the proximity to downtown Lisle and Naperville are outstanding. Now that we’ve been here a few months, I realize how much we were missing before. Steve’s hard work, his team’s constant engagement and their collective vision made this move possible, and I’m incredibly grateful for the partnership.”

The project was completed within a year — from site selection to move-in — thanks to collaboration among all parties. The location also satisfied Pure Processing’s need to be near Interstates 355 and 88 to support employee commutes following the move from Carol Stream.

Interwork Architects served as project architect for the build-out, with BLC Construction as general contractor.
