Investment Overview

Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire the property located at 1306 McKinley Avenue in Joliet, Illinois. This sale offers an ideal distribution, logistics, or IOS facility development opportunity in the Joliet Area. With 12 parcels of land, the property consists of 38.54 acres zoned I-2 and 17.76 acres zoned I-1. An environmental remediation was recently completed and a No Further Remediation (NFR) Letter is pending. This sale offers an ideal distribution and logistics development opportunity in the Joliet Area submarket thanks to both Interstate 80 and a Union Pacific intermodal hub sitting within three miles of the property. Joliet Area is a massive submarket containing 109.9 million square feet of industrial space, half of which is concentrated in a five-mile radius of the property. The submarket has experienced a significant amount of growth over the last decade with inventory expanding by 79 percent. Big-box warehouses over 200,000 square feet dominate the Joliet Area submarket, accounting for 77 percent of inventory. Going into 2024, construction activity slowed to 2.8 million square feet, representing a 2.5 percent increase in supply. In 2023, the vacancy rate increased by 110 basis points to 5.1 percent as new supply outpaced a healthy level of demand but remained well below the 10-year average of 7.8 percent. Consequently, asking rent growth in the Joliet Area slowed to 7.4 percent last year but was 200 basis points higher than the annual average since 2014 (CoStar).
