Kansas City-based developer NorthPoint secured 600 acres in Pontoon Beach, Illinois, for what’s slated to become a fully built-out, strategically located industrial park.

So far, two 544,000-square-foot warehouses have been built to accommodate multiple tenants. The $50.2 million buildings, built with no tenants signed on, feature a conventional steel frame with metal roof deck and site-cast tilt-up panel construction. The first building features a clear height of 36 feet, 56 dock doors and four drive-in doors. The second building has a clear height of 40 feet, 63 dock doors and four drive-in doors.
