Shamus Conneely, Senior Vice President, and Cory Ramey, Vice President of john greene Commercial, have completed the final phase sale of Stewart Farm — the final transaction in a multi-year, multi-phase project to redevelop over 215 acres into Plainfield Business Center, a large-scale industrial development designed for both build-to-suit users and speculative warehousing and distribution.

 

The transaction was completed across multiple phases from 2023 through a final closing in May 2026, requiring strategic coordination across development timelines, infrastructure planning, and shifting market conditions.

 

Development Progress

South of 143rd Street, development is well underway. A CHILL cold storage facility has been completed, and DSV Global Transport and Logistics is currently under construction.

 

North of 143rd Street, two additional phases encompass a newly constructed 788k SF RJW Logistics facility, and the final 46.54-acre parcel slated for another 788k SF plus industrial warehouse and distribution facility.

 

Strategic Location & Infrastructure

The site sits along the western side of the 143rd Street corridor, which has undergone significant recent expansion. New connections linking Steiner Road to Ridge Road — along with ongoing eastward expansion toward Route 126 — provide direct access to I-55 via a northbound on-ramp and southbound off-ramp, positioning the site for strong logistics demand.

 

Navigating Complexity

Throughout the process, the john greene team coordinated closely with ownership, developers, municipalities, consultants, and utility providers to address key challenges while maintaining forward momentum across all phases.
