Chicago, IL Industrial & Warehouse Space for Rent

Warehouses in Chicago are commonly leased by companies that need substantial storage capacity, such as manufacturers, distributors, last-mile logistics providers and online retailers. With major retailers and logistics companies such as Amazon and Target using the region as a hub, industrial real estate in the Chicago area is attractive to businesses seeking established supply chain infrastructure and industry expertise.

Chicago occupies a strategic position as the nation’s key freight hub. Major interstate highways including I-55, I-57, I-80, I-88, I-90 and I-94 connect the region, while the city is also home to Chicago O’Hare International Airport—one of the world’s busiest cargo airports—and serves as the largest rail hub in the U.S. The area’s infrastructure supports rapid distribution, with more than half of the U.S. population reachable within a one- to two-day truck drive. From Chicago, businesses can efficiently serve regional markets including Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Kansas City, while maintaining strong connectivity to southern hubs such as Atlanta and Dallas-Ft. Worth. In addition, the Port of Chicago provides access to the Great Lakes and international maritime routes, supporting efficient import and export operations.

Chicago’s unparalleled multimodal transportation infrastructure enables efficient connections between rail, truck, air and maritime shipping. Businesses that use Chicago industrial real estate also benefit from the area’s concentration of established supply chain networks, with Chicago’s position as a Midwest logistics nexus making it particularly valuable for companies expanding e-commerce operations and last-mile delivery capabilities.
