Development, guided by a CLEAN THEORY.
A privately held commercial real estate development firm based in Chicagoland, pursuing select opportunities across the United States. The standard decides what gets built.
The position
Thoughtful development. Long-term value.
CLEAN THEORY acquires, entitles, and develops commercial land: pad and retail sites, ground-up commercial, and build-to-suit. Fewer projects, chosen slowly, executed to a standard.
The theory, in brief.
01
Select
Few sites make the cut. Access, visibility, traffic, and demand are proven before a price is discussed.
02
Entitle
Value is created before ground breaks — zoning, approvals, and site work resolved with the municipality, not against it.
03
Execute
Operator standards, applied to development. The details are the deal.
From the principal
“I didn’t come from finance or brokerage. I came from running the floor — fuel, food, retail, car wash — at the highest level in the state.”
Andy Gill, Principal
Before CLEAN THEORY, Andy built and operated a multi-format travel center that became the single top-performing licensed video gaming location in Illinois — first among nearly 9,000.
Current work
One project at a time.
A 6.29-acre commercial development site at a signalized arterial intersection, in entitlement and pre-leasing.
A select commercial site, presented in full to qualified tenants and brokers.
Acquisitions
Bring a site.
The firm acquires signalized corners, anchored outparcels, and pad sites of one to ten acres — directly and through brokers, nationwide. The criteria are published. The answers are fast.
