OVERVIEW

625 E US Highway 36 is an exceptional opportunity offering 858 acres of versatile industrial land in Tuscola, Illinois. Comprising 10 parcels, including 153 acres of greenfield farmland, this expansive site is uniquely positioned for large-scale redevelopment or industrial expansion. 625 E US Highway enjoys direct rail access via the Decatur & Eastern Illinois Railroad (DREI) Watco, connecting to four Class I railroads (CN, CSX, NS, and UP). The asset is primed for businesses seeking comprehensive logistics solutions. Formerly a synthetic ethanol plant, the property was fully decommissioned in 2024, with all existing structures and utility connections removed, delivering a blank slate for future development. Key nearby infrastructure, such as an Ameren Illinois electric substation and natural gas pipelines, ensures that utility reconnections are available, supported by access to electricity, gas, and river-sourced water. Strategically located along US Route 36, the 858 acres of land offer seamless access to Interstates 57 and 72, forming a crucial artery to major Midwest markets. The site lies within a day’s drive of Chicago, Indianapolis, Louisville, St. Louis, and Peoria, offering ideal positioning for logistics, manufacturing, or distribution. The proximity to key infrastructure, including rail, interstate highways, and regional airports, enhances its appeal as a central transportation hub. Rural Tuscola also offers a supportive business climate, with nearby cooperative utilities, access to water from the Kaskaskia River, and favorable freight and shipping logistics bolstered by Watco’s full-service rail and logistics solutions. Situated in Illinois, the nation’s transportation crossroads, it boasts a world-class logistics network, low-cost and reliable energy, and a highly educated workforce powered by over 247 colleges and universities statewide. The surrounding region supports a business-friendly environment where global and national companies flourish. With its prime location, massive footprint, and unmatched rail connectivity, 625 E US Highway 36 offers a rare development opportunity in the heart of America’s industrial corridor.
