Jones Lang LaSalle to market logistics center in Illinois
Industrial real estate firm Jones Lang LaSalle announced it has been hired as the exclusive marketing agent for the RidgePort Logistics Center, a 1,500-acre industrial park near Joliet, Ill.
“This development responds to increased customer demand for integrated rail and logistics
solutions, all within three miles of the nation’s largest inland container port,” said John Carver, head of Jones Lang LaSalle’s ports, airports and global infrastructure practice in a statement.
“It will serve as a strategic Midwest warehousing and distribution hub for years to come,” Carver said.
The RidgePort property is being developed by Ridge Property Trust, and is master-planned to include more than 20 million square feet of industrial space in buildings that range from 200,000 to 2.5 million square feet.
The property is also near the BNSF Logistics Park-Chicago in Elwood, Ill., and the Union Pacific-Joliet Intermodal Terminal in Joliet.
“With I-55 and the UP and BNSF intermodals all at an arm’s reach, the ease of access that this park
provides is truly second to none,” said Keith Stauber, regional managing director for Jones Lang LaSalle.
