138 Pierce St
Aurora, IL 60505
Fox Valley Forge Co. · Industrial Property For Sale

Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire the property located at 138 Pierce Street in Aurora, Illinois. The subject property consists of approximately 61,951 square feet of manufacturing space and is situated on 3.59 acres of land. The two-building asset features a clear height ranging between 16’ to 30’, two dock-high doors, seven grade-level doors, a wet sprinkler system, and metal construction. The property is zoned M-2 for the heaviest industrial and manufacturing uses. Located adjacent to the Metra BNSF Aurora Train Yard, the property sits only 2.4 miles south of Interstate 88 via North Lake Street.
The subject property is well-positioned within the massive Interstate 88 West submarket, containing 82.7 million square feet of industrial space. In 2025, industrial demand held comfortably in positive territory with 1.0 million square feet absorbed on net. However, net deliveries added 2.1 million square feet of industrial space to the inventory. With supply outpacing demand, the vacancy rate rose to 4.4 percent, but remained well-below the 7.7 percent national average (based on the top 50 metros, classes A, B, C, and a minimum of 10,000 square feet). Despite the increase in availability, annual market rent growth in the Interstate 88 West submarket held steady at 4.3 percent last year, more than twice the national level. With about 1.6 million square feet of industrial space under construction in the submarket, representing 1.9 percent of inventory, vacancies and rents will largely be dictated by industrial demand for the
foreseeable future (CoStar).
