AMERICA'S FREIGHT CAPITAL

THE INLAND PORT AT THE CENTER OF U.S. SUPPLY CHAINS

Chicago sits at the intersection of every major rail line and interstate in the country, making it the busiest freight hub in North America. For businesses that need to move product fast in any direction, a Chicago-area warehouse isn't just convenient, it's the most efficient launch point in the U.S. supply chain.

Our Chicago-area partner facilities sit within the Bolingbrook/Joliet industrial corridor, one of the largest concentrations of Class A distribution space in the country, with direct access to BNSF, Union Pacific, CSX, Norfolk Southern, and CPKC rail lines and every major interstate serving the Midwest.

KEY MARKET FEATURES

  • Ranked the #1 U.S. "port" by value of goods moved, driven by rail freight and O'Hare cargo volume

  • 25% of all U.S. freight trains and 50% of all intermodal trains pass through Chicago

  • Home to the largest inland intermodal hub in North America — roughly 7.8 million containers moving through the metro annually

  • One of the largest concentrations of Class A warehouse space in the country (Bolingbrook/Joliet/I-55 corridor)

  • Direct access to six Class I railroads — more than any other U.S. market

  • Interstate access via I-80, I-88, I-90, I-94, and I-55, linking the entire Midwest and Eastern half of the country

  • Proximity to O'Hare International Airport, one of the busiest cargo airports in the world

  • FDA-certified cGMP and SQF-Organic warehouse options available for food, beverage, and CPG brands

  • Central location reduces the number of distribution nodes needed for national coverage, cutting overall warehousing and freight costs
