Property Overview
This exceptional 72-acre commercial development site offers unparalleled visibility to Interstate 80, one of the nation's most heavily traveled transcontinental highways. Located at 2990 E 6th Rd in Utica Township, LaSalle County, Illinois, this strategically positioned property presents a rare opportunity from private retreat to industrial, or commercial development in a high-growth transportation corridor.
The property benefits from direct Interstate 80 frontage, providing exceptional visibility and access to over 30,000 vehicles per day. Situated approximately 75 miles southwest of Chicago and within the expanding I-80 industrial corridor, the site offers superior connectivity to major metropolitan markets including Chicago, the Quad Cities, and beyond. The Illinois Department of Transportation's $1.2 billion I-80 reconstruction project (2023-2029) is driving unprecedented industrial growth along this corridor, with industry experts reporting thousands of acres becoming available for development and one-million-square-foot facilities being delivered at a rapid pace.
Silica sand outcroppings are visible on the farm for potential mining. Currently zoned A-1 Agriculture with significant commercial development potential, this 72-acre parcel offers level to gently rolling terrain ideal for large-scale construction. Essential utilities including electric, natural gas, water, and sewer are available to the site.
At $21,500 per acre ($1,548,000 total investment), this property represents a competitive acquisition opportunity for developers and end-users seeking to capitalize on the explosive growth of the I-80 logistics corridor. The site's positioning between Chicago and western markets, combined with direct interstate access and full utilities.
