Orbus Moving 180 Jobs from Bolingbrook to Woodridge

One hundred eighty jobs will be moving out of Bolingbrook after Orbus Exhibit & Display Group—a trade show exhibit maker—moves into a new 347,400 square-foot building in Woodridge’s Union Pointe business park, according to a recent report in ChicagoRealEstateDaily.com.

Orbus plans to leave its current facilities in Bolingbrook, located at 380 Veterans Parkway, and Niles and relocate its headquarters in Woodridge by June of 2014, according to the report. The move will take 120 jobs out of Niles, according to the report.

Orbus considered moving to a new location in Bolingbrook before opting for Woodridge because of its concern for making commuting easier for some workers who live closer to the company’s Niles facility, according to ChicagoRealEstateDaily.com.

The construction of Orbus’ new location—with 347,400 square feet—is recognized as the state’s 10th-largest local build-to-suit project slated for completion between January 2011 and April 2014, according to Crain’s Chicago Business and data from Colliers International.

Orbus plans to lease the new building, which is being developed by Conor Commercial Real Estate—and then will be sold to an investor—according to ChicagoRealEstateDaily.com.
