Major new business park breaks ground in Woodridge
McShane Development in partnership with Gallagher and Henry recently broke ground on a business park located at the northeast corner of I-55 and I-355 in Woodridge.
Phase 1 of the Union Pointe Business Park will house the corporate headquarters and regional distribution operations for Edward Don & Company a national distributor of foodservice equipment and supplies. It is anticipated that the Edward Don & Company, with approximately 400 employees, will move into the new facility in the Summer of 2012.
The remaining 80 acres is available for development for office and warehouse uses. According to Daniel Fogarty Jr., Vice President of McShane Development, this park presents a great opportunity in a region and an industry that has not seen many build-to-suit projects over the past few years. “McShane Development looks forward to working with Woodridge on future development opportunities in a highly desirable location” said Fogarty.
“Union Pointe Business Park is uniquely positioned at the crossroads of I-55 and I-355 to take advantage of an excellent location with great access to regional expressways and high visibility” said Michael Mays, Director of Community Development for the Village of Woodridge. “Businesses looking to consolidate operations or considering expansion opportunities will find a park and a community that provides low taxes and a pro business environment.”
