TenantBase Description
901 North Batavia Avenue is a distinctive 1930s era commercial property on more than 12 acres on the east side of Batavia, Illinois, along East Fabian Parkway near the Fox River. The central tower and long horizontal bands of glass make the building easy to recognize from the road, and the broad front lawn with its oval drive gives arrival the feel of a corporate campus rather than a single industrial block. For a business that wants visibility and room to operate, the setting is a meaningful part of the appeal.
The original three-story concrete, steel and glass block building was constructed in 1936 and later extended with low single-story wings, which explains the current composition of a taller daylit core surrounded by expansive single-level space. Bands of windows bring natural light into the main block, while the wings provide broad open floors framed by steel columns and beams. That combination allows street-facing office, showroom or light production areas to sit within the same property as larger back of house operations.
Inside the larger floors, the space is straightforward and functional, with concrete floors, high ceilings and long clear spans that keep equipment, storage and work zones flexible. Reported building features include 18-foot clear height, 800-amp three-phase power, nine dock doors and four drive-in doors, which support loading, deliveries and equipment-intensive uses. Service yards and loading are located toward the rear and side of the property, so trucks and daily arrivals do not share the landscaped front entrance.
The grounds add practical value day to day. A looping drive encloses the front lawn and leads to parking near the main entry, with additional lots around the building that accommodate more than 300 vehicles. Lawns and mature trees edge the site and screen nearby roads and neighboring properties, giving staff places to step outside during a break.
The location works well for a regional operation. The site sits minutes from Batavia, Geneva, St. Charles and Naperville and about 4.8 miles from I-88, with Route 31 nearby for north-south travel. The result is a large, adaptable property where historic character, open industrial floors and a generous landscaped site come together in one place.
