More than 300 acres across four properties owned by Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis (TRRA) in southwestern Illinois have been added to a pipeline of rail-accessible industrial real estate sites in the region.
The sites are Madison Yard Farm Field in Venice; Wiggins Industrial Lead and Wiggins 5, both in East St. Louis; and Wiggins 2 Yard, which encompasses land in both Brooklyn and East St. Louis. The additional four sites bring the total number of rail-served sites in the pipeline to 26, spread across 20 locations, according to a press release issued by Bi-State Development, parent of TRRA.
The new sites feature heavy industrial user zoning ready for developments that would connect to all six Class Is via TRRA. Madison Yard Farm Field in Venice is the largest of the four, encompassing 140 acres. At 80 acres, the Wiggins 2 Yard encompasses portions of both Brooklyn and East St. Louis, Illinois, while Wiggins 5 in East St. Louis is a 56-acre site that also has an additional 20 acres available for sale. Wiggins Industrial Lead in East St. Louis encompasses the final 45 acres.
