Manufacturing Facility Search: 200k SF+ w/rail


Manufacturing Facility Search: 200k SF+ w/rail

Regional Managers and Account Managers:

A real estate firm is conducting a search for an existing manufacturing facility with at least 200k Square Feet (preferably not more than 500k SF), has a minimum ceiling clear height of 28' and is rail served. A lease is preferred. The search area encompasses travel distances that are not more than two and half hours from O'Hare International Airport. The facility operation will require heavy power, but it is expected that a former manufacturing facility will be able to accommodate the company's demand. Proposed facilities must be former manufacturing facilities or designed for manufacturing not only because of the power requirement, but for the following reasons as well:

· The floor must be mostly level, not have a number of dock high doors.
· And, the floor must be able to accommodate heavy loads. Cranes will operate in the facility.
Employment is estimated at 100-150 workers.

The real estate firm's client is arriving for a visit Tuesday, October 6. Therefore, for any communities with a manufacturing facility meeting the above requirements, please provide a brochure or spec sheet with a photo by cob, Friday, October 2, 2009 to david.pierson@illinois.gov via e-mail.

Thank you in advance.
