MoHall Commercial & Urban Development, on behalf of the Board of Education of Lyons Township High School District No. 204, presents 8100 Willow Springs Road, Willow Springs, Illinois, a significant ±71.323-acre development land opportunity in Cook County strategically positioned within the I-294 / Tri-State Tollway corridor. The offering consists of three contiguous parcels totaling approximately 3,106,852 square feet under single public ownership, creating a rare opportunity to evaluate a large-scale, unified development site within Chicago’s established southwest suburban market.
The property is unimproved and predominantly wooded, with no existing buildings or parking areas. Its configuration provides frontage and direct access from three public rights-of-way: 79th Street to the north, Willow Springs Road to the east, and German Church Road to the south. This three-sided public-road exposure creates multiple potential points of access and provides flexibility for site planning, circulation, infrastructure, and phased development, subject to governmental approvals. An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey prepared by WT Group AEC and dated June 3, 2026 confirms the surveyed acreage and three-parcel assemblage. The property consists of PINs 18-32-103-006, 18-32-103-004, and 18-32-101-001.
From a regional transportation perspective, 8100 Willow Springs Road is positioned immediately within the I-294 corridor, with the 75th Street interchange located immediately north of the property and convenient access to I-55 / Stevenson Expressway via La Grange Road and Joliet Road. The location provides connectivity to Chicago and the broader metropolitan transportation network while also benefiting from proximity to the Metra Heritage Corridor at Willow Springs Station. Chicago Union Station is approximately 17.5 miles from the area.
The property is also positioned near one of metropolitan Chicago’s established freight and logistics corridors, including the BNSF Willow Springs Intermodal Terminal and adjacent UPS Chicago Area Consolidation Hub (CACH). This combination of interstate, rail, commuter and logistics infrastructure provides a distinctive regional location for a major development site while the surrounding area also includes established residential neighborhoods and significant open-space resources. The property adjoins the Cook County forest-preserve system and Edgewood Valley Country Club, providing substantial open-space context along portions of the assemblage.
Municipal water and sanitary sewer are available to serve the property. Prospective purchasers should independently verify utility capacity, connection points, extensions, tap fees and other service requirements with the appropriate governmental agencies and utility providers. Existing utility corridors and easements of record identified in the offering materials include Northern Illinois Gas facilities along 79th Street and German Church Road, telecommunications infrastructure along 79th Street, and a Justice–Willow Springs Water Commission easement along 79th Street. Gas, electric and telecommunications providers serve the surrounding corridor; purchasers should independently confirm the location, capacity and cost of all utility connections required for their proposed development.
The property is located within the Village of Willow Springs’ North Willow Springs Road Corridor–Planned Development District (NWSRC-PD). The planned-development corridor framework contemplates residential, commercial and mixed-use development concepts, subject to the Village of Willow Springs’ applicable zoning requirements and discretionary approval process. Any proposed land use, density, subdivision, site plan, access configuration or development program will require appropriate governmental review and approval. Prospective purchasers are responsible for independently confirming current zoning regulations, permitted and special uses, bulk and density standards, entitlement requirements and approval procedures directly with the Village of Willow Springs.
A substantial due-diligence package has been assembled for the property, including an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey, Chicago Title commitment, Phase I Environmental Site Assessment and wetland delineation study. The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment identified no recognized environmental conditions requiring further investigation. A wetland delineation identifies approximately 4.29 acres of isolated/non-jurisdictional wetland within the overall assemblage. According to the applicable FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map, the property is located within Flood Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard. Prospective purchasers remain responsible for conducting and relying upon their own independent environmental, engineering, geotechnical, wetlands, floodplain, utility, zoning, title and development investigations.
The combination of 71+ contiguous acres, three public-road frontages, access to I-294 and I-55, municipal water and sanitary sewer availability, proximity to Metra and major regional logistics infrastructure, no existing buildings, and a defined planned-development zoning framework positions 8100 Willow Springs Road as a noteworthy large-scale land opportunity within Cook County and the southwest Chicago suburban market. The site may warrant consideration by residential developers, commercial developers, mixed-use developers, homebuilders, master-planned community developers, institutional land investors and other qualified development groups, subject in all cases to governmental approvals and the requirements of the public-sale process.
The District’s planned disposition process is a sealed-bid public sale pursuant to Section 5-22 of the Illinois School Code (105 ILCS 5/5-22). No published asking price is established; pricing is to be determined through conforming bids submitted pursuant to the public-sale process. The current disposition schedule contemplates a November 9, 2026 sealed-bid deadline, subject to Board action and the District’s final published Notice of Public Sale, Bidder Information Packet, Terms and Conditions of Sale, and any subsequent addenda. Those documents shall control all dates, procedures and requirements of the offering.
The property is offered as-is, where-is, subject to all matters of record. Neither the District nor its consultant makes any representation or warranty concerning the approval of any particular use, development program, density, entitlement, utility capacity or development outcome. Prospective purchasers must conduct and rely upon their own independent investigation and analysis of the property and its suitability for their intended use.
