McKinnie the northwest cor- ner-of Main street and Hinman ave- nue, Evanston, at a term rental of $1,018,000, or at an average rental of $10,282, which figures a rate basis of $15.62 per square foot. The lessees have an option to purchase the prop- erty at a price of $215,000, which is at the rate of $19.60 per square foot. The property has a frontage of 103 feet on Hinman avenue and 116 feet on Main street and contains ap- proximately 10,968 square feet. The lessees expect to improve the property in the near future with a four- story building containing stores and apartments. It will be of Italian de- sign with stone face on store fronts. With the signing of this lease, Mr. McKinnie obtains control of all the frontage on the north side of Main street from Chicago to Hinman ave- nues. Another item of special interest is that both parties to the lease are old residents of Evanston. Mr. Oliver has resided in Evanston for many years and the McKinnie family are among the early residents on Sheridan road where their home occupied almost a block of lake frontage south of Kedzie street. Mr. McKinnie's father also built the first apartment building in Evanston. The family have always been large holders of real estate par- ticularly in South Evanston. Robert S. Crane of the Evanston office of Quinlan & Tyson, Inc. repre- sented the lessors and David C. Malin the_lessees. The legal details were handled by David Oliver for the les- sors and Wirt E. Humphrey for the lessees.
