Property Facts
About Illinois
Located just across the Mississippi River from downtown St. Louis, The Metro East, is the largest industrial node in St. Louis. Often referred to as the Metro East , the area covers Madison and St. Clair counties on the state’s southwest corner. Combined, the two counties have just over 500,000 residents. Two airports, the Downtown St. Louis Airport and Mid America Airport, are located here.
The largest concentration of industrial properties is in and around Gateway Commerce Center. The industrial park and surrounding developments have highway access in all directions at the intersection of interstates 270 and 255. This area’s tenants include Proctor and Gamble, Unilever, Walgreens, Tesla, FedEx, and Amazon.
Public transportation is readily available by multiple bus providers, and rail access via the St. Louis Metrolink offers 11 stops. Outdoor activities are plentiful across the Metro East, as the area has more than 100 miles of biking trails and many parks.
Scott Air Force Base is located in Metro East. As the military’s Air Mobility Command, it is an important logistical hub for the U.S. Military. The base employs approximately 13,000 people and is the largest employer in the area. Scott’s presence makes Illinois a popular choice for defense and government contractors such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Worldwide Technologies, Raytheon, and General Dynamics.
