Trinity Christian College retained CBRE as exclusive listing agent for the sale of its campus at 6601 W. College Drive in Palos Heights, Illinois, approximately 18 miles southwest of downtown Chicago.
The 60-acre property will be delivered fully vacant in the third quarter of 2026 following the college’s planned closure at the end of the 2025/2026 academic year.
CBRE’s Matt Ishikawa, Tom Svoboda, and Anne Rahm are marketing the offering on behalf of Trinity Christian College.
Originally developed as a golf course, the site was purchased by Trinity Christian College in the 1950s and includes the original clubhouse structure. The Q3 2026 vacant delivery provides buyers a clean slate for due diligence and planning without tenant disruption.
“The southwest suburbs of Chicago are a well-established, high-barrier-to-entry market. An opportunity to acquire a fully improved site of this scale with existing utilities, parking, and structures already in place is truly unique,” said Rahm. “Whether a buyer pursues a continued institutional use or a full repositioning, the existing infrastructure and building quality meaningfully reduce the cost and timeline to execution.”
The campus includes 22 buildings totaling 467,019 sq. ft. on a contiguous site. Key facilities include: the 71,911-square-foot DeVos Athletics and Recreation Center, which underwent a major expansion in 2012, the Martin and Janet Ozinga Chapel, a 39,780-square-foot assembly building with a 1,200-seat auditorium and pipe organ, and four residence halls totaling 148,819 sq. ft. and 590 beds. The campus also contains the 37,351-square-foot Heritage Science Center, the Jennie Huizenga Memorial Library, an Art and Communication Center completed in 2009, a dining hall with seating for 350, science laboratories, and administrative offices.
Buildings on the campus were constructed between 1928 and 2009, with capital improvements completed throughout that period. The property includes 928 on-site parking stalls along with existing internal roadways, utilities, and stormwater infrastructure.
The campus is positioned minutes from I-294 via Route 83 and approximately 2.1 miles from the Palos Heights Metra Station, which provides direct daily service to downtown Chicago. Chicago Midway International Airport is 8.8 miles from the property.
Buyers may pursue acquisition as an operational institutional campus or evaluate the site for alternative uses, including residential, senior housing, medical, recreational, or mixed-use redevelopment.
