Developer Plans Third Building in Romeoville Business Park

A developer that previously built and sold two other industrial buildings in Romeoville's Paragon Business Park is planning a third spec building in the development.

The Opus Group last week announced plans to build a 111,345-square-foot facility in the business park, located on Paragon Drive near Taylor and Belmont roads.

"We’re excited to build on the success of our first two buildings in the park and continue to be one of the only developers in the entire submarket able to provide an opportunity for end users to purchase a Class A building, new or existing,” Matt Kurucz, Opus senior manager of real estate development, said in a news release. “The I-55 corridor continues to prove itself as a highly sought after location for industrial tenants and institutional investors will continue to dominate the ownership of the nearly 80 million square feet of inventory. As such, there is ample opportunity for Opus to offer a unique solution to tenants seeking new space.”

The building will be able to accommodate a single user or up to three tenants, according to Opus. It will have 12 loading docks (expandable to 28), 16 trailer parking positions against the building, up to 88 car parking spaces and an ESFR (Early Suppression Fast Response) sprinkler system.

Construction is slated to begin this spring, with completion in late August.

Opus has developed more than 6.8 million square feet of industrial developments currently under construction or completed in the past two years, including 1325 Remington in nearby Bolingbrook.
