WareSpace Expands Suburban Chicago Footprint with Second Downers Grove Location

WareSpace, an operator of micro-bay warehouse space, has acquired 1400 Centre Circle in Downers Grove, Illinois, a 71,689-square-foot industrial property.

The site becomes WareSpace’s third location in the Chicago area and second in Downers Grove. Built in 1979 and currently vacant, the property will be repositioned into approximately 100 designed for small businesses including e-commerce sellers, contractors, and service-based companies. The site offers direct access to I-355, I-88, and I-294, connecting businesses to key DuPage County suburbs including Naperville, Elmhurst, and Hinsdale.

“This is exactly the type of market WareSpace was built for,” said Levi Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of WareSpace. “This second site allows us to meet that demand more directly and support the entrepreneurs driving the local economy.”

WareSpace recently surpassed the 25-building milestone following its Santa Fe Springs acquisition and continues to scale its footprint across major U.S. metros, including Seattle. The company now operates 26 facilities totaling more than 2.6 million.
