Crow Holdings Industrial Breaks Ground on First Midwest Project

Crow Holdings Industrial launched its first Midwest development in Chicago’s I-80 Corridor industrial submarket. Located at 24601 S. Frontage Rd. East in the Channahon Corporate Center, the 252,208-square-foot speculative building is 40 miles from downtown Chicago and just three miles from the I-55 / I-80 interchange.

Crow Holdings Industrial’s Matt Kurucz says, “This building leverages highly visible I-55 frontage in a convenient business park setting. We’ve provided nearly triple the trailer parking capacity generally offered in this size range, and hope to capitalize on tenants seeking more trailer parking per building square foot than ever before.”

The building will accommodate users seeking convenient access to both the BNSF and U.P. intermodal rail yards, and it is also within reach of nearly 70% of the country’s population within a two-day drive. The distribution facility is set to deliver in early 2019, and will feature 36-foot clear heights, LED lighting and truck dock loading.
