13850 Cottage Grove Ave, Dolton, IL 60419

13850 Cottage Grove Avenue in Dolton, Illinois presents a rare large-scale vacant industrial opportunity totaling 632,886 square feet on 36.31 acres. The facility features clear heights ranging from 20’ to 40’, offering exceptional flexibility for warehousing, manufacturing, cold storage, or high-density distribution. The building is supported by 3 drive-ins and 28 dock doors, including 12 truck wells, allowing for efficient loading and high-volume logistics operations.

With robust utility infrastructure delivering 18 megawatts of existing power and 100 MMBTU/hr of gas capacity, the property is well-suited for heavy manufacturing, food processing, data centers, or other power-intensive users, with the potential to scale significantly—estimated gas capacity could support approximately 82–110 MW of electrical generation, depending on final pressure and system design.

The Village of Dolton Board has approved a High-Load Technology Reuse Overlay Ordinance specifically tailored to this property as of June 1, 2026. Once adopted, the ordinance will permit data center and other high-load technology uses by-right, provide expedited administrative review, allow roof-mounted solar arrays, and establish practical adaptive reuse standards that recognize the existing building condition and infrastructure.

We are currently completing significant site improvements to accelerate readiness for new users, including the installation of over 500 motion-sensor LED lights throughout the facility and the demolition and removal of obsolete glass manufacturing equipment.

Strategically located just south of Chicago, the property offers immediate access to I-94 (Bishop Ford Freeway), I-80, and I-294, positioning it within one of the nation’s most critical logistics hubs. Its proximity to downtown Chicago, the Chicago Skyway, major rail lines, and regional intermodal facilities provides unparalleled connectivity for local, regional, and national distribution—making this an exceptional opportunity for users seeking scale, infrastructure, and premier Chicagoland access.
