The Opus Group (Opus) today announced the start of construction on the third and final building at Tollway Corporate Center, an industrial development in Chicago's Interstate 88 submarket. Designed for tenants who need modern warehousing and/or distribution space, the 408,195-square-foot project is a joint venture with Principal Asset Management, through its dedicated real estate investment team.
Located at 320 Overland Drive in North Aurora, Ill., the building offers immediate access to Interstate 88 via a full interchange at Route 31. Tollway Corporate Center is located near many restaurants, hotels and a wide variety of corporate users.
“We are excited to offer another modern industrial facility in North Aurora," said Mike Robinson, senior director of real estate development at Opus. “Tollway Corporate Center is a rare infill development that offers tenants close proximity to area amenities, as well as convenient freeway access and an abundant and well-qualified labor pool in the I-88 corridor."
The cross-docked facility features 36-foot clear height, 55 dock doors (expandable to 90), four drive-in doors, 134 auto parking stalls (expandable to 196), 94 trailer parking stalls and clerestory windows for natural lighting.
Opus completed construction of the first two buildings at Tollway Corporate Center in December 2022. The buildings, which were also joint ventures with Principal Asset Management, are now fully leased to Soligent Distribution, Karat Packaging and Ryder Integrated Logistics.
“We are pleased to be partnering with Opus once again," said David Straka, managing director for real estate at Principal Asset Management. “This third building at Tollway Corporate Center completes the development, helping meet demand for flexible industrial supply while benefitting the local economy with job opportunities."
Opus is the developer, design-builder and architect and structural engineer of record on the project. Brian Kling and Reed Adler of Colliers and Dan Leahy and Packy Doyle of NAI Hiffman are marketing the space for lease.
The building is expected to be complete in December 2023.
