Description

The former Spartan Printing Complex in Sparta, IL, now a rail-served industrial property, was partially repurposed in 2020. Portions of the facility were demolished, leaving a 2-acre concrete pad where those structures once stood. The remaining building offers 352,800 square feet, with 140,790 square feet already upgraded with roof repairs or replacements, fresh interior paint, restored electrical service, and LED lighting. The balance of 212,000 square feet includes concrete floors and a steel frame structure requiring a new roof and mechanical restoration. Ceiling heights vary, with 64,000 square feet featuring 30-foot clear heights and the remainder around 19 feet. Finish-to-suit improvements can be completed in approximately three months, with pricing quoted by project. The property is rail-adjacent, served by the Canadian Railway, with three spurs totaling about 2,023 linear feet—though upgrades are needed to restore full operability. Located within both a TIF District and an Enterprise Zone, the site also offers attractive development incentives.
