TenantBase Description
8801 West 143rd Street is a large former health club building on 143rd Street just east of South La Grange Road in Orland Park. Set in one of the south and southwest suburbs busiest retail corridors, it offers a rare combination of scale, open interior volume and outdoor grounds close to shops, restaurants and daily services.
The building totals about 76,970 square feet in a low, extended form with a high gabled roof, blue metal siding and a brick base with long runs of windows. Entries are arranged along the building frontage, and a large surface lot wraps the street side of the site with multiple access points to 143rd Street. The arrangement keeps arrival simple for a use with many visitors coming and going through the day, with a short walk from parked cars to the doors.
Inside, the property was laid out for club recreation rather than conventional offices. Large clear span halls once held tennis and racquetball courts, basketball courts and workout areas, with high ceilings and open floor area that can accommodate courts, training space, group activity or other large format uses. A quarter mile track, locker rooms and an indoor pool area were part of the same plan, so changing areas, exercise rooms and support spaces sit close to the main activity floors. The mix of very large rooms and smaller enclosed rooms gives the building natural separation between active areas and quieter offices, meetings or instruction.
Outdoors, the recreation character continues. A fenced pool terrace behind the building includes a large pool basin and a slide tower, with paved deck space around the water. To the side, a lawn with a gazebo and deck forms a more relaxed outdoor corner, separated from the parking fields yet directly connected to the building. Together the terrace and lawn give the site usable outdoor space for seasonal programs, gatherings or time outside during the day.
The surrounding area supports high traffic uses. South La Grange Road nearby brings grocery, pharmacy, coffee, restaurants and big box retail, including the Orland Square Mall district, while 143rd Street keeps the site connected across Orland Park. For a user seeking a large single occupant recreation, wellness, community, education or entertainment setting, the property offers established club bones, strong street presence and room for people and cars.
