Ryan Completes Construction of 246,457-SF Elgin Industrial Facility

Ryan Companies US, Inc. has completed the construction of a 246,457-square-foot speculative industrial development for Molto Properties at 2770 Alft Court within the Randall Crossings Business Park in Elgin, Ill.

Randall Crossings Business Park is a master-planned business park which provides flexible industrial uses from general industrial and manufacturing to distribution and office space in a commerce park environment. Ryan has owned the 70-acre park since 2005 and completed a turn-key presale speculative construction transaction with Molto in December 2015.

The building, which sits on a 13.51-acre site, is a double-loaded, single- or multi-tenant facility with 50-foot-by-50-foot typical bay sizes, a 60-foot speed bay, 32-foot clear ceiling height, and office space to suit. Included in the building are 40 existing truck docks (and the potential for 32 additional), four drive-in doors and parking for 188 vehicles. Construction of the building started in the spring of 2015.  

Ken Franzese and John Cassidy, principals with Lee & Associates, are marketing this building, 2770 Alft Court, on behalf of Molto Properties and the business park on behalf of Ryan Companies. With the completion of this building, the park includes more than one million square feet of space. Additionally, there is one parcel totaling 5.7 acres that remains for development.

“The turn-key speculative presale scenario has been a successful model for development and construction opportunities for Ryan within Randall Crossings Business Park over the last 18-24 months,” said John Dunneback, Ryan’s Director of Development. 

In the last 12-18 months there has been considerable construction activity at Randall Crossings. In the fall of 2015 Ryan completed a 108,000-square-foot building at 2725 Alft Lane after earlier completing a 225,000-square-foot industrial building at 2750 Alft Lane. 

The market and this location have proven to be very attractive for buyers and users in I-90/North Kane Submarket. This project expands the availability of quality Class A industrial product for businesses requiring a location in this submarket, Dunneback added. He noted the park’s convenient location less than one-half mile from Randall Road and the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90).

“We were excited to have Ryan Companies and Lee & Associates as team members in the construction and marketing of this project,” said Todd Narcatto of Molto Properties. “The North Kane submarket continues to demonstrate strong fundamentals which should bode well for the leasing of the property.”

Randall Crossings represents one of four Chicago area business parks developed by Ryan Companies:  Randall Crossings Business Park in Elgin, Boldt Park in Romeoville, Territorial Business Center in Bolingbrook and Laraway Crossings Business Park in Joliet.
