Plainfield Business Center is a retail/commercial property located at 12337 South Illinois Route 59 in Plainfield Illinois. It is positioned in the north end of Plainfield between 119th and 127th Streets. The center sits on approximately 4 acres of land and is comprised of 55,185 square feet of space. The Route 59 Corridor North is the major entrance into the Village of Plainfield from the north. This corridor extends south 4 1/2 miles from the Plainfield/Naperville border to the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern Railroad overpass. It has been expanded from two (2) lanes to four (4) lanes with stoplights recently installed at all major intersections.

This portion of the Route 59 corridor is currently undergoing considerable growth. Major retailers such as Target, Jewel/Osco and Menards have recently opened. Wal-Mart plans to open a store just south of the Plainfield Business Center by August, 2004. AT&T Wireless, Cold Stone Creamery, Culvers, and Manila Grocery will also occupy retail space in the area. Plainfield Business Center consists of approximately 32 units and, although one building, is being built in two phases. Phase I has been completed with an original configuration of 17 units. Some have been combined to create the 12 which are currently leased and operational while two remain available for lease. The remaining three (3) units are in their final interior construction phase. An additional 15 units are under construction as part of Phase II.

The typical unit in the building contains a front showroom and rear restroom, storage, and office area. It has VCA tile flooring and a dropped tile ceiling. Units are heated and cooled by a central HVAC unit and have a fixed glass store front window and the combination of metal and glass doors. Each unit contains at least one 200 AMP electrical service. The building’s dominant feature is an arched covered walkway, which consists of a brick façade and is covered by a vaulted green metal roof. Two story towers anchor the ends with a selected few additional towers in the middle to provide architectural interest and break the long façade.
