Bensenville Breaks Ground on Holiday Inn Express

On November 7, 2015 the Village of Bensenville hosted a ground breaking ceremony at 777 East Grand Avenue with developer and hotel owner Sonny Shah for a new Holiday Inn Express Hotel near O'Hare International Airport.

The Holiday Inn Express will have 102 rooms and feature many great amenities such as a business center, fitness center, indoor pool, and breakfast bar. This hotel will join an existing Country Inn & Suites, which is also owned by Mr. Shah. A plan is in place to add an additional hotel as well as a standalone restaurant to create a hotel park on this site. The Village also owns a large portion of remaining land and is actively seeking proposals for development.

This project marks a tremendous investment in Bensenville and continues the revitalization of Bensenville's East Business District.

"Bensenville's location has always been great, but we want to be the best place to do business as well. We have worked very hard to do so." said Village President Frank Soto "Some of our best promoters are those who have recently located their business here and are now looking for more opportunities in Bensenville, such as Mr. Shah."

"I would like to thank the Village President, Board of Trustees and the professional staff of the Village for their dedication and commitment to help bring this project to life." stated developer and owner Sonny Shah.

Bensenville has been working to create a new business climate to attract new business and it is paying off. Businesses are starting to recognize the opportunities Bensenville has to offer. Bensenville has one of the lowest industrial vacancy rates in the suburban-O'Hare market and also attracted car dealerships, a new Jewel-Osco and other retailers. The creation of this hotel park is further evidence of all the opportunities Bensenville has to offer.
