Strategic Logistics Location
NorthWind is being developed by Becknell as a Class A business park that competes successfully with parks along the I-80 and I-55 corridors. Concurrent with the development of the park's first speculative 90,000 square foot building, Becknell is making infrastructure improvements including road construction, lighting, underground facilities, landscaping, off-site detention and signage. To assure long-term quality and value of the park, Becknell has established development covenants that control the design, construction materials and use of all park buildings.
