Overview

The property is a former C.H. Robinson food-grade storage facility offering a mix of refrigerated and dry warehouse space. Refrigerated storage includes 13,589 SF with 26’ clear height and 830+ pallet positions, supported by a three-compressor ammonia refrigeration system with operational redundancy. The refrigeration plant includes new evaporators (2015) and a new compressor (2023). Six cooler-adjacent dock doors support loading and distribution, and there are approximately 20,000 SF dedicated repack and food-processing areas with 15’–17’ clear height.

The facility is located within Southern Illinois’ agricultural and food production corridor, with convenient access to Interstate 57. It is approximately 15 miles to Interstate 57, supporting regional connectivity for food and agricultural supply-chain operations.

This configuration is well suited for operators needing food-grade storage and on-site handling for repack and processing, along with both refrigerated and dry warehousing. With meaningful dock door presence, higher clear heights in the food-processing and refrigerated zones, and refrigeration equipment designed for continuity, the building supports day-to-day logistics for food distribution and related processing workflows.
