Finding the ideal industrial space for your venture in Chicago depends on your particular combination of business needs and preferences. Considerations might include aspects such as: the property proximity to major highways, ports, railroad or public transportation hubs; the cost of renting space in the area; qualified labor availability; and zoning particularities. While other types of commercial real estate are more widely distributed across a market, industrial space tends to largely be concentrated under zoning requirements specific to it.

As such, in Chicago you are most likely to find industrial or warehouse space for rent in the Avondale submarket, which is currently home to the highest number of local industrial for rent listings on our site. Other local submarkets to look at for industrial space leasing opportunities include: Near West Side and Brighton Park.
While a lot of aspects of what makes good quality industrial space are subjective, there are some that are objectively important to any business looking to operate out of such spaces. These are typically captured in property class ratings, that are generally referred to as Class A, B, or C.

In Chicago, you can find 8 listing(s) located in industrial property rated Class A. Typically, Class A industrial properties are relatively new developments in prime locations, featuring high ceilings, easy access to highways and other transportation options, along with generous parking capacity.

Leasing opportunities on the local market currently include 32 listing(s) rated Class B industrial space. While it is a tier down from Class A, industrial space in this rating category can still offer reasonably high quality for most enterprises. Class B typically includes buildings that are slightly older, property that has been renovated and is in overall good condition but might not include top-tier building systems or state-of-the-art features.

Zoning requirements are essential in the selection of a prospective lease, as it has a direct influence over the kind of industrial activity that can be undertaken on the property. Each city has its specific Zoning Department that sets up the codes and you can secure the services of a commercial real estate broker who specializes in industrial properties to help you understand the local zoning requirements and find a property that meets your needs.
