Property Overview

5.39-Acre Commercial Development Site — Plainfield, Illinois

BigFarms Real Estate is pleased to present this 5.39-acre development site on S 248th Avenue in Plainfield, Illinois. Situated between Plainfield North High School and the 60-acre Endeavor Health (formerly Edward Hospital) Plainfield medical campus, this property occupies one of the most desirable commercial corridors in southwest suburban Chicago. A newly created commercial corner at 248th Avenue and Prairie Grove Drive, combined with strong road frontage and proximity to major healthcare and educational anchors, makes this an outstanding opportunity for investors and developers.

Location and Access

The property is located on the east side of S 248th Avenue, just north of W Prairie Grove Drive, in unincorporated Wheatland Township. Plainfield North High School sits immediately to the north at 12005 S 248th Avenue, while the Endeavor Health Plainfield campus — featuring outpatient services, a surgery center, cancer center, medical office buildings, and immediate care — is located just to the east along W 127th Street. The site is one mile west of Route 59 and half a mile east of US Route 30, providing excellent access to the regional road network. I-55 is approximately 5 miles to the east.

S 248th Avenue is a full-curb paved street with turn lanes, and the property offers approximately 342 feet of road frontage. The recent sale of an adjacent 2-acre parcel to a residential developer has created a new intersection at 248th Avenue and Prairie Grove Drive, establishing a commercially advantageous corner position for this property. New residential construction is actively underway to the east and south, adding rooftops and daily traffic to the immediate area.

Property Characteristics

The 5.39-acre site consists of two parcels and features level to gently rolling topography with an elevation range of just 9.4 feet (averaging 659.6 feet above sea level). Soils are predominantly Graymont silt loam (88.9%) and Elpaso silty clay loam (11.1%), yielding a weighted average Productivity Index of 134.2. The entire property falls within FEMA Zone X — Area of Minimal Flood Hazard — with 100% of the acreage outside the 500-year floodplain. No wetlands have been identified on the site per the National Wetlands Inventory. These characteristics support straightforward site development with minimal environmental or grading challenges.

Existing improvements include a two-story frame farmhouse (built circa 1940, approximately 1,168 SF), barns, and grain storage structures (circa 1967). Approximately 3 acres of the site is open tillable land. The farm buildings may generate interim income until development proceeds.

Development Potential and Zoning

The property is currently in unincorporated Will County but is positioned for annexation into the Village of Plainfield, where commercial zoning is readily available. The site falls within the Plainfield Comprehensive Plan's medical district, reflecting the community's vision for healthcare-related and complementary commercial uses along this corridor. Potential uses include but are not limited to:

• Medical offices and healthcare facilities
• Assisted living or senior care
• Professional services and general office
• Retail and convenience commercial
• Mixed-use development

Area and Market Context

Plainfield is one of the fastest-growing communities in the Chicago metropolitan area, located within the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin MSA. The property is served by Plainfield Community Unit School District 202, one of the largest and most recognized districts in Will County. The surrounding area features established residential subdivisions, active new home construction, and a strong base of commercial and institutional development anchored by the Endeavor Health campus. Route 59 corridor shopping and services are approximately one mile to the east.
