BEDFORD PARK, IL-Viskase Cos.’ sausage casings plant at 6755 W. 65th St. has been sold for the second time since it closed in 2000. A Purinton Development LLC investment group paid slightly more than $4 million for the 14.6-acre site, which included the 500,000-sf plant that was built in 1932.

The investment group, which Purinton Development LLC manages, plans to build a 341,144-sf distribution center, with National City Bank providing an $18.4-million construction loan. The site already is served by a Belt Railway Co. rail spur, and the former sausage plant has been demolished. Construction is expected to be completed in fall 2006.
