WEST CHICAGO-Pella Corp. is the first tenant to sign on at the DuPage National Technology Park. Master developer CenterPoint Properties Trust will build a 174,352-sf sales office and service facility for the window manufacturer.

Pella will move operations from Carol Stream to the new building at 2025 Enterprise Circle next summer. Morgan Harbour Construction will build Pella's new space. "The state-of-the-art technological infrastructure available through the DuPage National Technology Park will be great assets for our team members," says Pella general manager Scott Baril, among 225 employees making the move from Northern DuPage County.

"We're confident that their relocation to the park will be the first of many leading companies who recognize how much this new site has to offer industry innovators," says DuPage Airport Authority director of business development and marketing Mike Masciola. DuPage Airport Authority owns the 800-acre site, while Oak Brook-based CenterPoint Properties Trust is master developer for the high-tech business park south of the DuPage County Airport. The REIT up to 6.2 million sf of build-to-suit mixed-use space, making DuPage National Technology Park its largest project outside its CenterPoint Intermodal Center in Elwood, IL.
