DES PLAINES, IL-AMB Property Corp. expects to begin work March 1 on a 253,000-sf building at 255 Wille Rd. The building is being constructed for furniture distributor Coaster Co. of America, which is expected to move into the new building in the fourth quarter of this year, says Jim McGill, senior vice president and director of development for AMB.

The distribution building, to be called the AMB Wille Distribution Center, will be on 15.3 acres and will have 55 docks, 35 trailer stalls, four drive-in doors and 252 parking spaces. The project is being developed by a joint venture of AMB and the Missner Group, which is also the general contractor for the building. McGill would not give an estimate for the cost of the project.
