JLL Continues Manufacturing Sector Growth Across Illinois

JLL has begun leasing activities for a Class A property comprised of 1.3 million square feet available for build to suit along with a 488,000 vacant industrial space, in Decatur, Illinois.

Located at 2500 N. 22nd St., the property also has an additional 30 acres of vacant land available for development. Conor Mullady, JLL Senior Vice President, is leading leasing at the property, representing Weiss Realty, the property’s owner and managing partner.

The site is ideally suited for advanced manufacturing, agriculture, electric vehicle, battery, data center, semiconductor or related industries, which are experiencing significant growth across Chicagoland and broader Illinois. Decatur has been designated as a Regional Tech and Innovation Hub by the United States Economic Development Administration.

The property is located in the heart of the Midwest Inland Port, a multi-modal hub offering a range of convenient transportation options across North America, and international container shipping. The Economic Development Corporation of Decatur and Macon County is supporting the property by offering incentives to prospective tenants who meet specific criteria for generating economic impact.
