The site can be leased or purchased in its entirety or in parts, accommodating the scalable needs of industrial operations.
Strategic Location Advantages
Located in a promising industrial corridor, the property benefits from unparalleled accessibility to major highways, including Interstate 90 and Route 20. This prime positioning ensures smooth connectivity to key supply chains and transit networks, crucial for businesses relying on the swift movement of goods to and from the Chicago metropolitan area.
Access to Major Airports
The site’s location is complemented by its proximity to several major airports, including O'Hare International Airport and Chicago Executive Airport, both within 25 miles, enhancing its logistical advantages for companies needing extensive shipping capabilities. Furthermore, the nearby Chicago Rockford International Airport houses major distribution facilities, which enhances connectivity to global freight options.
