Public Content
Information
Attached to this memorandum is a resolution that would grant approval of a Class 6b property tax incentive for Zeelaid
LLC for the property located at 700 N. Business Center Drive. The subject property has been vacant for over 24 months
since Watson Laboratories closed the 34,800 square foot facility.
The Village has granted several Cook County Class 6b tax incentives to attract and retain businesses. The 6b incentive
reduces the assessment level for qualified manufacturing and warehouse/distribution facilities from 25% to 10% for the
first 10 years, 15% for year 11 and 20% in year 12. After year 12, the assessment level returns to the full 25% for the
benefiting property. The 6b incentive can also be renewed for additional 12 year terms if supported by the Village.
If approved, Zeelaid would purchase the 700 N. Business Center Drive and lease the space to three pharmaceutical
companies. Two of the companies, Konvoy Pharmaceutical Technology Corporation and CurMed Pharmaceutical Inc., are
currently located in Buffalo Grove while the third company would be a start-up pharmaceutical manufacturer. These
companies will employ approximately 10 individuals and would generate over $100,000 annually in local sales taxes.
Zeelaid is requesting the Class 6b abatement to reduce the property taxes to around $1.25 per square foot for the
property. If the extension is not granted they estimate that their tax bill would rise to $3 per square foot. Similar
properties in nearby Lake and Du Page County range from $1 to $1.50 per square foot.
Please forward this memorandum to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their meeting on April 18th
Staff will be present at that meeting to further discuss this matter.
Alternatives
1. Approve the resolution supporting Zeelaid LLC's application for a Class 6b property tax incentive.
2. Action at discretion of Village Board.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Village Board approve the resolution supporting Zeelaid LLC's application for a Class 6b
property tax incentive.

RE: Class 6b Resolution Request
Zeelaid LLC
700 N. Business Center Dr.
Mount Prospect, Illinois 60056
PINs: 03-35-104-009/-010
Dear Bill:
Zeelaid LLC ("Applicant") is requesting a Resolution in support and consent of a Class 6b
Incentive on the above -referenced property based on occupation of an abandoned property that has been
vacant for greater than 24 continuous months with a purchase for value and substantial rehabilitation. The
Applicant plans to purchase the subject property and rehabilitate the same to lease to two entities as well
as to have a related entity occupy part of the building for its use.
The Applicant plans to lease approximately 10,000 square feet of the subject property to Konvoy
Pharmaceutical Technology Corp. ("Konvoy") to use for its operations consisting of the development and
manufacturing of new pharmaceutical products. The Applicant also plans to lease approximately 10,000
square feet of the subject property to CurMed Pharmaceutical Inc. ("CurMed") to use for its operations
consisting of the development and manufacturing of new pharmaceutical products as well as the
manufacturing of nutritional supplements. In addition, the Applicant plans on starting a new related entity
that will occupy the remaining approximately 14,800 square feet of the subject property for its operations
consisting of the development and manufacturing of new pharmaceutical products.
The subject property consists of an approximately 132,727 square foot site with a roughly 34,800
square foot building that has been vacant and unused since January 31, 2014. The property is in need of
substantial rehabilitation for anyone to occupy the same. Therefore, the Applicant plans to invest
approximately $300,000 to immediately rehabilitate the subject property. Based on initial inspections
these improvements will be to repair the parking lot, update the landscaping, repair the sidewalk, update
the offices, update the lighting, paint and renovate the bathrooms as well as to complete other general
maintenance. The Applicant also plans to spend an additional approximately $200,000 within the next 1
to 2 years to renovate the cGMP portion of the interior.
Please note, however, that all of the rehabilitation costs could significantly vary depending on a
variety of factors such as market variances. Further inspections of the subject property may require
additional improvements. The rehabilitation will create approximately 10 to 20 construction jobs.

Konvoy currently leases approximately 2,000 square feet of a building located at 1335 Barclay
Blvd. in Buffalo Grove, Illinois as well as some lab space at the University of Illinois -Chicago and
because its business is growing they need to expand their operation as soon as possible. Therefore,
Konvoy plans to move its entire operation to the subject property and bring all 5 (2 full-time and 3 part-
time) of its employees that work at that site to the subject property and plans on adding approximately 2
new employees (full-time) as soon as possible at the subject property and 5 more in the next 3 years.
Additionally, Konvoy will look to hire all qualified Village of Mount Prospect residents for future hires.
CurMed also currently leases approximately 2,000 square feet of a building located at 1335
Barclay Blvd. in Buffalo Grove, Illinois as well as some lab space at the University of Illinois -Chicago
and because its business is growing they need to expand their operation as soon as possible. Therefore,
CurMed plans to move its entire operation to the subject property and bring all 2 (all part-time) of its
employees that work at that site to the subject property and plans on adding approximately 3 new
employees (full-time) as soon as possible at the subject property and 5 more in the next 3 years.
Additionally, CurMed will look to hire all qualified Village of Mount Prospect residents for future hires.
The Applicant expects the new entity to hire approximately 10 to 20 new employees within the
next 3 years at the subject property. Additionally, this new company will look to hire all qualified Village
of Mount Prospect residents for future hires.
The Village of Mount Prospect can also expect that each of the tenants' employees will invest
commercially back into the community by visiting local establishments such as restaurants, gas stations,
grocery stores and more. In addition, the Village of Mount Prospect can expect that the tenants at this site
will attract business and various customers to the Village in the course of their operations. The Applicant
also expects that the tenants will generate approximately $100,000 in sales tax at the subject property.
As the above indicates, there are various benefits the Village of Mount Prospect will receive
should the Applicant be granted the Class 6b Incentive. The Applicant is excited to move forward with
the purchase, rehabilitation and reoccupation of the subject property. However, the above is all
contingent on the Applicant receiving a Class 6b Incentive. Therefore, please review this letter and place
the Applicant on the agenda for the next possible Village of Mount Prospect Board meeting.
Should you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at (312)
782-8310.

A certified copy of a resolution or ordinance from the municipality in which the real estate is located
(or the County Board, if the real estate is located in an unincorporated area) should accompany this
Application. The ordinance or resolution must expressly state that the municipality supports and
consents to this Class 6B Application and that it finds Class 6B necessary for development to occur
on the subject property. If a resolution is unavailable at the time the application is filed, a letter from
the municipality or the County Board, as the case may be, stating that a resolution or ordinance
supporting the incentive has been requested may be filed with this application instead. If the
applicant is seeking to apply based on the reoccupation of abandoned property and will be seeking a
finding of "special circumstances" from the municipality, in addition to obtaining a letter from the
municipality confirming that a resolution or ordinance supporting the incentive has been requested,
the applicant must file a letter from the County Board confirming that a resolution validating a
municipal finding of special circumstances has been requested. If, at a later date, the municipality or
the County Board denies the applicant's request for a resolution or ordinance, the applicant will be
deemed ineligible for the Class 6B incentive, whether or not construction has begun. In all
circumstances, the resolution must be submitted by the time the applicant files an "Incentive
Appeal".
I, the undersigned, certify that I have read this Application and that the statements set forth in this
Application and in the attachments hereto are true and correct, except as those matters stated to be on

Description of the Nature of the Project the Intended Use of the Subject Pro er and
Information Regarding the Applicant anti User
Zeelaid LLC ("Applicant"), plans on purchasing the property located at 700 E. Business
Center Dr. in Mount Prospect, Illinois (PINs: 03-35-104-009/-010) and rehabilitate the same to
lease to two entities as well as to have a related entity occupy part of the building for its use.
The Applicant plans to lease approximately 10,000 square feet of the subject property to
Konvoy Pharmaceutical Technology Corp. ("Konvoy") to use for its operations consisting of the
development and manufacturing of new pharmaceutical products. The Applicant also plans to
lease approximately 10,000 square feet of the subject property to CurMed Pharmaceutical Inc.
("CurMed") to use for its operations consisting of the development and manufacturing of new
pharmaceutical products as well as the manufacturing of nutritional supplements. In addition,
the Applicant plans on starting a new related entity that will occupy the remaining approximately
14,800 square feet of the subject property for its operations consisting of the development and
manufacturing of new pharmaceutical products.
The subject property consists of an approximately 132,727 square foot site with a roughly
34,800 square foot building that has been vacant and unused since January 31, 2014. The
