Why Companies Choose Bensenville for Office Space
Bensenville is the DuPage County side of the O’Hare submarket and its deepest value play — Class B space asking ~$14/SF sits next door to a corridor where Rosemont towers ask $35+. The village’s economy is built on freight: office users here are overwhelmingly logistics, distribution, and airport-related operations that want a front office minutes from the cargo terminals, along with the professional firms that serve them. Space runs along the Green Street, Thorndale, and York Road corridors, the Metra Milwaukee District West station serves downtown, and at ~34% vacancy — the highest in the submarket — tenants dictate terms.
