Description

1765 Busse Highway is strategically positioned along one of Des Plaines’ most heavily traveled commercial corridors, offering exceptional visibility and daily traffic exposure. Busse Highway serves as a primary east-west artery connecting Des Plaines to Mount Prospect, Elk Grove Village, and the greater northwest suburbs, generating consistent commuter and consumer traffic throughout the day. The property benefits from direct frontage and strong sightlines, making it highly effective for automotive, service, and retail-oriented industrial uses that rely on brand recognition and drive-by demand. Immediate access to I-294 and I-90, combined with close proximity to O’Hare International Airport, supports both local customer traffic and regional operations.
