1455 West Thorndale Avenue

1455 West Thorndale Avenue is a large industrial building in Itasca, set on about 9.90 acres within an established business park of similar warehouse and light industrial properties. The location offers practical access for regional distribution, with proximity to I-290 and I-390 for truck routes and employee commutes.

Seen from above, the building is a broad single story rectangle with a low profile roof dotted with rooftop units and skylights. The exterior combines light metal siding with a brick office end, and surface parking wraps the office side and portions of the perimeter. Landscaped edges, mature trees and nearby retention areas soften the industrial setting without reducing the working room around the building.

Inside, the main work floor is a wide open warehouse with a polished concrete floor and a regular grid of columns that leaves long clear runs for storage, staging and movement. A 24 foot clear height gives room for stacked product and tall racking, while overhead lighting and skylights keep the large space bright and workable through the day. Heavy power service at 1200 amps and 480 volts and an ESFR fire suppression system support intensive warehouse use.

Loading is arranged to keep freight moving directly between trucks and the floor. The building has 22 interior docks along one side, served by a broad concrete apron with room to position and maneuver trailers. Three drive-in doors provide grade level access for vehicles and equipment that need to enter the building directly, a useful complement to dock operations for mixed warehousing and light production needs.

A dedicated office area at the front of the building gives management and administrative staff a separate place to work. The entry opens through glass storefront to bright rooms with hard surface floors and dropped ceilings, keeping the office environment distinct from the warehouse while remaining steps from the main floor. With 132 parking spaces on site, the property accommodates daily staff, office visitors and shift changes around warehouse activity.
