It\u2019s being built on a speculative basis on an approximately 46-acre site.

At full buildout, it will encompass more than 8 million square feet of industrial space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a prepared statement, Josh Udelhofen, a Chicago-based principal with Trammell Crow, commented that the overall development includes another 340 acres of fully entitled land and could accommodate a build-to-suit project of as much as 2 million square feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-accelerating-into-2026\">Accelerating into 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chicagoland industrial space market saw remarkable leasing momentum in the fourth quarter, totaling 12.7 million square feet, as against 8.4 million in the first quarter, according to a recent report from JLL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only were logistics and distribution companies the major drivers of 2025 leasing volume, but RJW Logistics on its own inked five new leases totaling 3.7 million square feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond that, the region\u2019s industrial vacancy was stable at 5.1 percent, a situation JLL expects to remain, given limited speculative space entering the market this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just about a year ago, Westmount Realty Capital <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/westmount-realty-acquires-chicago-portfolio\/\">acquired a 390,781-square-foot portfolio<\/a> of nine light\/shallow-bay industrial properties in the Chicago metro area, one of them in Plainfield.
