Joliet’s construction market
Industrial development drives much of Joliet’s work. Peak Construction is building a 219,041-square-foot speculative warehouse at Rock Run Crossings Business Park, and Mapletree broke ground on an industrial facility at 3600 Houbolt Road with completion slated for summer 2026. Multifamily is growing too: The View at Rock Run, a 573-unit development on more than 30 acres, started construction this cycle.
State work adds another layer. The Illinois Capital Development Board advertised a project to demolish and construct buildings at the District 1 Team Section Headquarters in Joliet, with an estimated cost under $18 million and bids due September 1, 2026.
