Mundelein hosts two large commercial retail districts located on the Village’s northwest and southeast side with ample opportunity for infill throughout the Village. The majority of Mundelein’s office space is located in the southeastern portion of the Village near Townline Road. Mundelein is located in the North Submarket of the Chicago office market, which is commanding rents that are the second highest in the Chicago suburban market while vacancy rates are the lowest. The majority of Mundelein’s industrial space is located in the southeastern portion of the Village, in the Allanson Industrial Park and Tower Road Industrial Park areas. Mundelein’s location in the Lake County submarket makes it apart of approximately 6.5% of the larger Chicago Metro market, which makes this submarket larger than any of the adjacent submarkets. Both the office and industrial markets will likely see built-to-suit projects as the source of any future development in the near term.
