Duke Realty starts construction on spec industrial project in Bellwood
May 10, 2021
The Chicago office of Duke Realty recently announced the construction of a 299,520-square-foot speculative development in Bellwood, Illinois. The planned state-of-the-art facility is located within minutes of O’Hare International Airport, close to major thoroughfares and rail lines — serving as an ideal location for prospective tenants looking to expand supply chain capabilities.
“As finding conveniently-located, modern distribution space continues to be a challenge for tenants, so is finding a strong labor force. Our planned facility meets both demand drivers,” said Susan Bergdoll, senior vice president and regional leader for Duke Realty’s Chicago, Minneapolis and Indianapolis operations. “Projects like this accommodate potential tenants’ requirements for new warehouse space close to airports, interstate highways, and rail yards in a community with a robust talent pool.”
