The development site is an infill parcel that will allow future tenants to reach a population of more than 4 million people within a 20-mile radius, TCC Senior Vice President Josh Udelhofen said in prepared remarks.
Chicago’s industrial projects
In terms of industrial development, Chicago led the Midwest on a square footage basis, a recent CommercialEdge report shows. The metro had 24.2 million square feet in its pipeline as of July, followed by Indianapolis (10.4 million square feet) and Columbus, Ohio (10.3 million square feet). Recent Chicago projects include a 465,360-square-foot speculative industrial development in Elgin, Ill., and a 664,453-square-foot industrial building in Oak Forest, Ill., among others.
As for deliveries, a 1 million-square-foot warehouse and distribution center in Wilmington, Ill., recently entered the metro’s inventory. Since the beginning of 2021, Chicago’s stock has grown by 6.6 percent, the same research reveals.
