CRG Breaks Ground on 86K-SF Industrial Facility Near Chicago

CRG has broken ground on The Cubes at Cicero, a new 85,680-square-foot warehouse at 5401 W. Roosevelt Road in Cicero, Illinois, immediately west of Chicago.

The Cubes at Cicero will feature a 32-foot clear height, 16 dock-high loading doors, two drive-in doors and approximately 2,000 square feet of office space. The site offers excellent access to Interstates 290 and 55 and is less than 10 miles from downtown Chicago and about 6 miles from Midway International Airport.

The announcement comes amid an extremely limited supply of small-footprint industrial developments in the Chicago market. According to Colliers, the area’s industrial vacancy rate stood at just 4.67% as of mid-2025.

Colliers has been appointed as the exclusive leasing brokerage for The Cubes at Cicero. The Colliers team of Thomas Rodeno, Patrick Turner and Sean Austin will market the property. DSI is the general contractor for The Cubes at Cicero, and the project was designed by Lamar Johnson Collaborative.
