Mapletree Breaks Ground on 419K-SF Facility in Joliet

Mapletree Investments has broken ground on a 419,520-square-foot best-in-class industrial facility in Chicago’s Joliet submarket.

The property sits on a 29.36-acre site at 1851 Brandon Road with delivery scheduled for 2027. “This groundbreaking brings another high-quality logistics asset to one of the most established distribution hubs in the country,” said Richard Prokup, Chief Executive Officer, United States, Mapletree. “Following a series of recent industrial divestments, Mapletree continues to scale its US development pipeline with well-located, institutional-grade assets across high-demand logistics corridors.”

1851 Brandon Road provides direct connectivity to the Joliet Intermodal Center — North America’s largest inland port — which is home to the Union Pacific and BNSF Joliet Intermodal Terminals. The property will feature 40-ft clear heights, 78 dock doors, four drive-in doors, 172 car parking spaces and 97 trailer stalls.

Mapletree currently owns and manages approximately 9.8 million square feet of industrial assets in the Chicago area. These holdings contribute to the group’s broader U.S. logistics footprint, which totals more than 60 million square feet.
