CHICAGO—Ryan Cos. US, Inc. has begun demolition work on its 11-acre parcel in the eastern portion of suburban Oak Brook and plans to begin building a new office campus on the land in 2017. Tenants looking for large contiguous blocks of class A space have very limited options on the eastern end of this submarket, and company officials say corporate build-to-suit users have shown a lot of interest in the site.

Ryan Cos. acquired the 11-acre parcel along the western side of York Rd. in February 2016. The new development will feature an array of amenities and structured parking. When complete, construction volume could exceed $70 million.
