Avison Young is pleased to offer for sale 414 E Golf Road, a rare 6.49-acre infill development opportunity strategically positioned in the heart of Chicago's premier O'Hare industrial corridor. This highly visible property presents a unique opportunity for investors, developers, and owner-users seeking a well-located site with exceptional transportation access, redevelopment flexibility, and long-term value creation potential. The property is offered at $4.5 million and benefits from its location in one of the most supply-constrained industrial and commercial markets in the Midwest.
Situated on heavily traveled Golf Road in Des Plaines, the property enjoys outstanding visibility with approximately 30,000 vehicles passing daily. Its strategic location provides immediate access to Interstate 90, regional expressway networks, and O'Hare International Airport, making it an ideal acquisition for companies seeking operational efficiency and regional connectivity. The site's location places future occupants within one of the nation's most important transportation and logistics hubs while maintaining direct access to Chicago's workforce, consumer base, and business community.
For owner-users, the property offers a rare opportunity to control a sizeable land position in a mature infill market where developable sites are increasingly scarce. The 6.49-acre parcel can accommodate a variety of industrial, warehouse, manufacturing, logistics, service, flex, or corporate facility requirements. Businesses seeking a long-term operational location can capitalize on the property's accessibility, visibility, and future growth potential while avoiding the challenges associated with limited land availability throughout the O'Hare submarket.
For investors and developers, 414 E Golf Road presents multiple avenues for value creation. The property's scale, infrastructure availability, and strategic location support speculative industrial development, build-to-suit projects, logistics facilities, flex industrial campuses, or long-term land investment strategies. As industrial land inventory continues to tighten throughout the Chicago metropolitan area, large infill sites such as this have become increasingly difficult to acquire, creating significant barriers to entry and enhancing long-term investment fundamentals.
The property currently carries C3 zoning, with the City of Des Plaines indicating it would consider reverting the site to M2 General Manufacturing District zoning. The M2 designation accommodates a broad range of industrial uses including manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, commercial storage, food processing, office support functions, automotive services, and related industrial operations. This zoning flexibility enhances the property's appeal to both developers and end users evaluating a variety of industrial and commercial uses.
Another key advantage is the site's transit-oriented location adjacent to the Metra Cumberland Station. This proximity provides exceptional commuter access for employees and supports modern workforce recruitment objectives. The property also benefits from a location just minutes from O'Hare International Airport and two train stops from the proposed Chicago Bears stadium district, positioning the asset to benefit from both current demand drivers and future economic growth initiatives.
Infrastructure is in place to support future development, with electric, water, sewer, and gas utilities available to the site. The availability of major utilities reduces development timelines and costs while improving site readiness for future industrial, commercial, or mixed-use projects.
The surrounding area offers access to a strong and diverse labor pool, a critical factor for companies making location decisions. The property's connectivity to highways, transit, and surrounding population centers creates a competitive advantage for businesses requiring access to workers across multiple skill levels. Employers can efficiently serve customers throughout the Chicago metropolitan area while benefiting from the area's robust transportation infrastructure.
As one of the few remaining large-scale development opportunities in the O'Hare market, 414 E Golf Road combines scale, location, transportation access, and redevelopment flexibility into a compelling acquisition opportunity. Whether the objective is to develop a state-of-the-art industrial facility, establish a corporate operating location, construct a build-to-suit project, or secure a long-term investment asset in a premier infill market, the property offers significant upside potential.
