Approx. 44-acre development site just 20 minutes from St. Louis. Located within the new 95-acre Park North commercial development that is the centerpiece of the I-55 and IL Highway 143 interchange. The site is strategically positioned to become the "Gateway" to Edwardsville. Entire 44-acre site included in the Gateway Commerce Center Enterprise Zone which provides valuable economic incentives to developers. The site is directly adjacent to the new Plummer Family (sports) Park and its 425,000+ predicted visitors for 2025. The 44-acre site and the sports park are both connected to IL Highway 143 via the recently completed Sports Park Drive roadway running north/south through the entire length of the Park North site. The new road and new 4-way signalized entrance off IL 143 into the site will officially open for traffic in June/July 2025. Construction on the first Park North business is well underway with the Park North Golf Club (https://www.parknorthgolfclub.com/)that is planned to open in June/July 2025. Additional planned businesses and amenities include hotels, entertainment, retail, restaurants and a food/fuel concept. The Park North site overall contains an existing water feature, attractive existing green-space and there are plans to link the property to the Ronald Foster Trail to the south which would facilitate connection to over 125 miles of existing walking, running and biking trails. Economically speaking, a high local median household income, educated work force, excellent business environment, low cost of living and plentiful existing complimentary demand generators make this 44-acre development site ideally suited for mixed-use commercial development end users.
