Formerly a U.S. Army locomotive repair shop, this refurbished industrial building includes 55,350 square feet of space and about 2 acres of paved 10" thick concrete surrounding the entire structure. Phase I improvements to the building included structural repairs, roof replacement, and miscellaneous site improvements. Phase II improvements included the reconstruction of the original south wing of the building (pictures coming soon), seven overhead doors, four of which are suitable for tractor-trailer drive-in-based operations, and a white box office with ADA bathrooms, heating, cooling, dry sprinkler system, and new windows and doors. Rail can also be connected to the building via a spur to the south of the building site, where all Class-I railroads are accessible.
The location of Building 203 is incredibly advantageous for anyone looking for a transportation and logistics advantage. Illinois Route 3, a four-lane, limited access highway, connects the site to the region’s interstate highway system (I-55, I-70, I-64, and I-44 to the south and I-270 and I-255 to the north). Lambert International Airport is 15 miles to the West, and MidAmerica Airport is 28 miles to the East. Additional last-mile efficiencies are gained through zero weight restrictions on port property roads, allowing for heavier truck loads between the various multi-modal transportation services on the property. In line with its reputation for excellent logistics and transportation, America’s Central Port is known for its access to two public multimodal Mississippi River harbors and six Class-I railroads. Harbor and barge transportation services are provided by SCF Lewis and Clark Terminals, providing tenants and public shippers with options for liquid and dry bulk, general cargo, and containerized transportation needs. Local rail switching is provided 24 hours a day by the Port Harbor Railroad, and access to six Class-I rail carriers (BNSF, UP, CSX, NS, CN, & KCS) is available through the Terminal Railroad Association (TRRA). (Rail can potentially be put back into the building based on the needs of the next tenant.)
