Opus Group Launches Third Spec Build in North Aurora

The Opus Group began construction on the third and final building at Tollway Corporate Center, an industrial development in North Aurora, IL, within Chicago’s Interstate 88 submarket. The 408,195-square-foot project is a joint venture with Principal Asset Management, through its dedicated real estate investment team.  

“Tollway Corporate Center is a rare infill development that offers tenants close proximity to area amenities, as well as convenient freeway access and an abundant and well-qualified labor pool in the I-88 corridor,” said Mike Robinson, senior director of real estate development at Opus.     

Opus completed construction of the first two buildings at Tollway Corporate Center in December 2022. The buildings, which were also JVs with Principal Asset Management, are now fully leased to Soligent Distribution, Karat Packaging and Ryder Integrated Logistics.   

Colliers’ Brian Kling and Reed Adler and NAI Hiffman’s Dan Leahy and Packy Doyle are marketing the new space for lease.
