Logistics Property Company LLC (LPC) celebrated the groundbreaking of 1237 West Division Ave., the first multi-story warehouse in Chicago. The development includes 1.2 million square feet of space across two floors and offers both rooftop parking and an adjacent five-story parking garage. The 11.5-acre property sits immediately adjacent to the full four-way interchange at Division and Elston in Chicago’s near-north Goose Island neighborhood.
The general contractors for the project are Walsh Construction and Riteway-Huggins Construction. Michael Conway, Dan McGillicuddy and Sam Brashler of JLL will be the project’s leasing representatives.
“As a company headquartered in Chicago we’re extremely grateful to be bringing this project to the region. We’re appreciative of everyone at the City and our pre-development partners who made this project a reality,” said Aaron Martell.
“The completion of this new multi-story development in one of the city’s most central locations will bring numerous economic advantages to Chicago and Illinois,” stated Jim Martell.
Trucks will access full 135-foot truck courts on both the ground and upper floors for direct loading. The ground floor will have a 36-foot clear height, 28 dock doors and two drive-in doors. The second floor, which offers 53-foot tractor trailers separate up and down double-wide ramps, will feature 33-foot clear heights, 28 dock doors and two drive-in doors.
The building will deliver in Summer of 2024.
