The Opus Group has started construction on a speculative industrial building in Merrillville, Indiana.
Located one mile from Interstate-65 with easy access to a full interchange at U.S. Hwy. 30, the 289,000-square-foot building can accommodate both warehouse and distribution tenants.
The building is on a 37-acre site at 8700-8900 Mississippi Street. In addition to a convenient location between Chicago and Indianapolis on the Interstate 65 corridor, which is just 44 miles southeast of Chicago, tenants will benefit from the development’s close proximity to many restaurants, hotels and corporate users.
The building will feature 32-foot clear height, 30 dock doors (expandable to 65), 239 auto parking stalls and 58 dedicated trailer parking stalls.
It will be complete and ready for occupancy in December 2023. Opus is the developer, design-builder, and architect and structural engineer of record on the project. Old National Bank is the construction lender and Ryan Klink and Sean Henrick at Cushman & Wakefield are marketing the space for lease.
