Ryan Cos. Breaks Ground on Industrial Development in Bellwood

Ryan Companies US, Inc., in a joint venture with Washington Capital Management, Inc., announced the financial land closing and start of construction of a 190,000-square-foot speculative industrial facility in Bellwood, Illinois.

The project is located on the site of the former SureBuilt building. Located at 840 25th Avenue, the new facility is positioned to attract a diverse range of industrial users. The site offers logistical advantages critical to modern tenants, including immediate access to Interstates 290, 294, and 88, and proximity to O’Hare International Airport and a large, skilled labor pool.

The facility will feature a 32-foot clear height, and its flexible design will accommodate uses from warehousing and distribution to light manufacturing. The project is expected to be completed in the spring of 2027. Ryan’s work at Pullman Crossings, which began in 2017, resulted in five industrial facilities totaling more than 1 million square feet, including the Whole Foods Midwest Distribution Center and an Amazon last-mile distribution center.
