It's supposed to be just shy of 175,000 sq ft and 40 feet in height. It's good to see these things come back to areas like this if there's actual jobs associated. Sounds like spec, but we'll see. I guess at a minimum at least it means an ugly vacant lot will become something.

^ could be this project by Cushman Wakefield Also reported in BizNow But soemthing about that site from google maps doesnt fit. I have also seen this project linked to 5400 West 16th Street Which is much larger.

Anyway the trend is good and is advancing. Chicago infill industrial sites are in high demand. Mostly for last mile logistics. Of course it would be higher use to see some actual manufacturing.
