The Elk Grove Village Read

Elk Grove Village is northwest of O'Hare Airport — the home of the Elk Grove Business Park, one of the largest contiguous industrial parks in North America by acreage. Roughly 5,000 acres and over 3,600 businesses employing more than 100,000 workers. It's the industrial engine of the northwest suburban Cook / DuPage corridor.

The CRE story is airport-adjacent distribution + light manufacturing + logistics at institutional scale. Higgins Road, Devon Avenue, and Landmeier Road anchor the primary industrial spines. Adjacent to the Elgin-O'Hare (I-390) tollway extension. Residential base is modest; the daytime employment base drives all supporting retail.

Frequently Asked Questions — Elk Grove Village

What's the scale of the Elk Grove Business Park?

~5,000 contiguous acres, ~62 million SF of industrial building inventory across ~3,600 businesses employing 100,000+ workers. It's genuinely one of the largest single industrial parks in North America by every dimension — acreage, building count, employment. Institutional operators own significant portions of the inventory.

How competitive is Elk Grove industrial pricing?

Premium relative to Will County intermodal (CenterPoint) because of airport adjacency, but discounted relative to Rosemont / airport-immediate industrial. Recent I-390 tollway improvements have compressed the spread between Elk Grove and the closer-in submarkets by improving airport access from further west.
