Zoned I-1 (Restricted Industrial District), the property offers flexibility for a wide range of industrial, commercial, and redevelopment uses (see attached zoning map). Strategically positioned adjacent to Oak Grove Business Park, the site benefits from proximity to established industrial and commercial users, making it an attractive opportunity for developers, investors, and owner-occupants seeking a well-located industrial site. Property Highlights: 1.78 acres of vacant land Prominent hard-corner location at Delaney Road and Yorkhouse Road I-1 Restricted Industrial zoning Adjacent to Oak Grove Business Park Excellent visibility and access Ideal for industrial, commercial, flex, or redevelopment projects An additional 5.0-acre parcel immediately east of the property is also available under a separate listing. The assemblage of both properties would provide expanded development possibilities, increased frontage, and enhanced site functionality for larger-scale industrial or commercial projects. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a strategically located industrial development site in an established business corridor with strong redevelopment potential and future growth opportunities.
North Waukegan, located between the Lake Michigan shoreline and Green Bay Road, is a residential and industrial Waukegan neighborhood with lakefront parks and working rail corridors. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Genesee Street near Sheridan Road, where corner taquerias, auto shops, and small storefronts meet steady commuter traffic. Brick bungalows and mid-century ranch homes sit alongside light-industrial blocks that reflect Waukegan’s manufacturing roots. The lake breeze and open views shape daily routines near the water. Bowen Park’s paths and picnic lawns add a calm counterpoint to the busier arterials. Cultural gravity pulls toward downtown landmarks a short drive south, tying North Waukegan to the city’s arts scene.
