CHICAGO—Generations of west suburban motorists grew accustomed to seeing the massive radio towers used as transmitters for WBBM radio, but Chicago's industrial boom has made the land, an irreplaceable location in the DuPage County portion of the O'Hare submarket, more valuable as distribution and logistics use.

Bridge Development Partners, LLC has acquired the 48.12-acre Itasca land site, bordered by I-290, IL Rte. 390, Devon Ave., and Rohlwing Rd., paving the way for development of Bridge Point Itasca, a state-of-the-art industrial complex totaling 741,621 square feet across three buildings.
