Fara Commercial Brokerage structures a non-traditional lease, providing the location for the first alcohol distillery in Evanston, IL, long considered the birthplace of prohibition.
Evanston, IL, (Vocus) March 11, 2011 – Fara Commercial Brokerage today announced it has leased a 3,186 square foot commercial space at 918 Chicago Avenue to Few Spirits, the first alcohol distillery to operate in Evanston, IL.
Representing the landlord, 920 Chicago Ave LLC, Fara Commercial Brokerage was able to structure a non-traditional lease that was contingent upon Few Spirits receiving permits and federal, state and local licenses to distill and sell alcohol.
Few Sprits represented a high quality tenant that would need to have their space secured before they could apply for the permits and licensing they needed. Fara worked to structure the deal to mutually benefit both landlord and tenant and enable an entrepreneur to open a groundbreaking new business in Evanston.
Few Spirits is the first business to craft and sell alcohol in Evanston, which is considered the birthplace of prohibition. The company is making significant improvements to its new location, converting it from a one-time auto repair shop to a distillery, tasting room and retail shop.
