Scope Of Work
Environmentally respectful development and LEED-certified construction can work together to meet logistics demand responsibly—especially in an area where not much space is available.
Recognizing the strong, ongoing demand for logistics space near O’Hare International Airport, Duke Realty purchased a property just three miles away with plans to raze the existing structure and redevelop the site.
Cleanup was needed to meet environmental compliance requirements and return the site to productive use for the industry and community. Some remediation efforts had been done following a contaminate spill in the ’80s. In preparation for development, we removed all contaminates that were identified in a remedial action plan and installed a vapor mitigation system as a precaution.
We expect to receive a ‘no further action’ letter from the EPA in the summer of 2020.
A state-of-the-art, 154,000-square-foot speculative logistics building is now on the site. Delivered in January 2020, this facility is pursuing LEED certification based on the implementation of sustainable practices to:
recycle materials from the demolition of the previous structure;
divert 75 percent of construction waste from landfills;
utilize an underground detention system for rainwater management; and
incorporate energy-efficient LED lighting and low-flow plumbing products.
