Executive Summary

As the exclusive listing advisor, Newmark presents the multifaceted industrial opportunity to acquire the value-add 2.67-acre property at 947 East Clinton Street, ready for a new user to repurpose the freestanding structure per operational needs.

The subject opportunity offers a 16,765-square-foot facility equipped with three roll-up doors, a furnace with a tall brick chimney, and a 16-foot clear height. The spacious 3.42-acre standalone parcel is primarily paved, providing ample parking and truck maneuvering space.

Freeport is located just over 100 miles from Lake Michigan's coast, on the shores of the humble Pecatonica River. US Route 20 runs 25 miles east to Rockford, and Illinois Route 26 leads 20 miles north to the Wisconsin state line, a major logistics corridor. The Chicago O’Hare International Airport is an hour’s drive from the subject, while the Chicago/ Rockford International Airport is 32 miles southeast. Railroad access is available approximately 30 miles away at the Rockport Railroad station. The nearest freight port, the Port of Milwaukee, is just over an hour’s drive.

Trade transportation & utilities, manufacturing, and construction account for nearly a quarter of the daytime employees within the 10-mile radius. Rockford University, Rock Valley College, and Rasmussen College-Illinois all contribute to the area’s skilled blue-collar workforce and daytime employee influx. The Helm Group, The Morse Group, FHN Hospital, and Freeport School District No. 145 generate the largest daytime employment counts in the area. Honeywell Aerospace, one of the largest publicly traded aerospace suppliers, continues to operate one of its four original manufacturing plants in Freeport.
