10 best warehousing spaces in Elmhurst, IL (2026)

In this guide, I’ll go over the 10 best warehousing spaces in Elmhurst, IL for 2026, starting with the options you can leave on short notice and then working through the conventional leases from the largest available space down.

What are the best warehousing spaces in Elmhurst in 2026?

Saltbox is the best warehousing space in Elmhurst for 2026 when you want inventory and outbound orders under one roof without funding a build-out or signing a multi-year lease.

Here is the full shortlist:

#1: Saltbox

Address: 934 N Church Rd, Elmhurst, IL 60126.

Saltbox holds the top spot on this Elmhurst list for product brands that want to work beside their inventory, not drive across town to reach it.

A membership hands you a private, locked warehouse suite already set up for outbound shipping, with a staffed floor you can pull extra labor from during a heavy week.

Your first suite can be 70 sq. ft., and your fourth can be north of 5,000 sq. ft., and the bill stays monthly at every step with nothing annual or quarterly to sign.

Full disclosure: Saltbox is our co-warehousing solution. Here's an accurate look at what makes it the strongest warehousing option in Elmhurst.

Here are the services below that our members run their operations on: 👇

Warehouse suite sizes at the Elmhurst building

Elmhurst offers four warehouse suite sizes, and a tier can be resized as order volume moves.

You can pay month by month the whole way, and a multi-year lease never has to enter the conversation.

Here are the four warehousing sizes:

• Small, 70 to 250 sq. ft.: 4 to 15 pallets, with room for 1 to 2 people. The entry point for a founder who has run out of garage.
• Medium, 250 to 500 sq. ft.: 1 to 4 people and 16 to 31 pallets. We aim this one at a small business that still has growing to do.
• Large, 500 to 1,000 sq. ft.: takes 32 to 62 pallets and up to 10 people. Built for a catalog that widened faster than you forecast.
• Extra Large, 1,000 to 5,000+ sq. ft.: 63 to 125 pallets and headcount up to 50. The tier for a brand carrying serious depth and still packing daily.

Office suites are available at Elmhurst, priced separately from the warehouse suite, for teams that want desks next to their stock.

➡️ Join the waitlist so the Elmhurst team can talk tiers with you while suites are still unclaimed.

Want the address without the warehouse?

Access Plans open at $99 a month, covering a business mailing address and mail handling. Scale, at $349, adds building access from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM, package and pallet receiving, and unlimited carrier pickups. Neither one involves a warehouse lease.

The operations work a membership absorbs

With Saltbox, you don’t enter into an empty building that you have to set up from scratch.

With our co-warehousing solution, you’ll have all of the shipping infrastructure and support you need to get started with shipping orders from day 1:

• Freight arrives at a dock, and our staff sign for it whether or not you are in the building.
• Labeled orders go in the outbound bins and carriers collect them on a schedule, so the post office stops being part of your afternoon.
• Pallet jacks and professional-grade equipment are already on the floor, alongside on-site printing, high-speed Wi-Fi, in-suite power at 120V, and working hours access behind round-the-clock surveillance.
• S.O.S. - Saltbox Operations Support is $45 an hour in 15-minute increments with no minimums, booked in the Saltbox App for receiving, put-away, container breakdown, inventory counts, or a racking build.
• You can also use Saltbox’s conference rooms, content studio, and workspace on an hourly basis, with a kitchen and community space already included.

Here is what the shipping side looks like from the inside: 👇

Cheaper shipping through Parsel

Your outbound shipping can run through Parsel, our shipping app partner, and access comes with the membership at no extra charge.

National and regional carriers get quoted on the same screen. All you have to do is book the pickup and print the label.

Anything handled before 4:30 PM still moves that day.

Here’s a short walkthrough of Parsel:

How does Saltbox compare with handing the work to a 3PL?

Saltbox gives you three things a 3PL cannot: control, visibility, and flexibility.

A 3PL takes physical custody of your inventory. It moves into their building, and you stop holding a key to the room it is in.

SEKO's Elmhurst floor, further down this page, is a clean example of the model: 83,000 sq. ft. of contract logistics, run by their team, in their facility.

That works for plenty of brands.

The cost of it is distance. Your unboxing gets built by a crew you have not met, and correcting something turns into a support request.

With a Saltbox suite, the key is yours. A cycle count or a change to the packing spec happens the moment you decide on it.

The people working your orders are in the building with you. A bad label gets caught before the truck arrives.

And you set the split. Pack everything yourself, hand part of it over, or buy a week of extra hands during a launch, with no contract holding you to any of those.

Jobs get booked through the Saltbox App, which is also where picks per hour, error rate, and volume show up in real time.

Saltbox Fulfillment tracks performance in the Saltbox App, and you get a direct point of contact for anything that needs adjusting.

For brands that want their hands off it completely, Saltbox Fulfillment builds a structured operation inside your suite, run by our team against SOPs written to your brand standards.

Pick and pack starts at $3 per pick after onboarding, and Fulfillment Projects like kitting or returns processing run from $45 per hour.

How do you get started with Saltbox in Elmhurst?

At Saltbox, to get started, you first select your membership tier, then choose your warehouse size (optional), and finally select your office (optional).

There are 3 membership tiers:

• Virtual: $99 per month for a professional business mailing address (mail only, no packages) plus access to the Upstream Entrepreneurs Club community.
• Scale: from $349 per month, which opens up the building itself along with the loading dock, packing stations, conference rooms, and the content studio, no suite attached.
• Warehouse: quoted per location for a private warehouse and office suite, bundled with shipping technology, onsite operations help, and every amenity below.

The suite figure depends on which band you land in. Elmhurst rates:

• Small Warehouse (70 to 250 sq. ft.): from $765/month paid annually, covering 4 to 15 pallets and 1 to 2 employees.
• Medium Warehouse (250 to 500 sq. ft.): from $1,530/month paid annually, covering 16 to 31 pallets and 1 to 4 employees.
• Large Warehouse (500 to 1,000 sq. ft.): from $2,650/month paid annually, covering 32 to 62 pallets and 1 to 10 employees.
• Extra Large Warehouse (1,000 to 5,000+ sq. ft.): from $4,230/month paid annually, covering 63 to 125 pallets and up to 50 employees.

Every suite comes with:

• Dock access for large deliveries and shipments.
• Professional-grade equipment already on the floor.
• High-speed Wi-Fi throughout.
• A kitchen and community space shared with the other members.
• Power in the suite at 120V. Printing you do not leave the building for.

Office suites are available on top. Elmhurst rates:

• 3-person office: $1,125/month paid annually, three desks and three chairs.
• 4-person office: $1,620/month paid annually, four desks and four chairs.

➡️ Every rate above is the 12-month prepay price, which saves 10%. Six months up front saves 5%. Month-to-month is available at every tier with no lock-in, at a higher monthly rate.

Saltbox pros and cons

✅ Inventory and outbound orders share one Church Road address, minutes from O'Hare and between I-290 and I-294.

✅ The suite locks and you hold the key. Run the packing bench yourself or hand it off.

✅ Monthly billing, with nothing multi-year to sign.

✅ Parsel rates that a brand shipping your volume would not reach on its own.

✅ Extra hands at $45 an hour in 15-minute increments, switched on for one week and off the next.

❌ We will never be the cheapest, and we don't want to be.

#2: SEKO Logistics

Best for: Importers and ecommerce brands that want warehousing, freight, and customs from one provider.

Location: 955 Weigel Drive, Suite 200, Elmhurst, IL 60126.

Source of image.

Nothing gets leased at SEKO's Elmhurst site, because the model is contract logistics: your inventory goes onto their 83,000 sq. ft. floor, and their team handles it from there.

It is the one option here where you never hold the space at all, and the practical answer when international transportation and warehousing need to come from the same company.

Amenities and benefits

Source of image.

• 83,000 sq. ft. of warehouse capacity, 8.6 miles from O'Hare International Airport and 32 miles from Midway International Airport.
• Contract Logistics with value-added services, described as a showcase facility with ISO9001 and ISO13485 certification. Specializes in container devanning and load-out, block and brace and domestic cross-docking.
• Air Freight, Ocean Freight with FCL and LCL plus standard and reefer containers (NVOCC), Ground Services, and Customs Clearance run out of the same office.

Pricing

SEKO publishes no rate card for the Elmhurst floor. Its own FAQ says no two shipments are the same, and points you toward a quote. The lease rates further down have no equivalent here.

Source of image.

Pros and cons

✅ Warehousing, air, ocean, ground, and customs clearance all come from one Elmhurst address.

✅ ISO9001 and ISO13485 certification for medical device and other regulated freight.

✅ Container devanning and domestic cross-docking for import-heavy operations.

❌ Their staff, their facility. You give up day-to-day access to your own stock.

❌ Cost is quoted per shipment, leaving nothing to benchmark before a sales call.

#3: 851-853 Industrial Drive

Best for: Small operations after incubator-style flex space with parking and a DuPage County tax bill.

Location: 851-853 Industrial Drive, Elmhurst, IL 60126.

Source of image.

The pitch at 851-853 Industrial Drive is incubator space, a clean, unique flex space inside a 30,963 sq. ft. multi-tenant warehouse under a minute from the I-290 and York Road interchange.

Ample parking and a hard-to-find DuPage County location are the listing's own selling points, and the lease rate is negotiable with no figure posted.

Amenities and benefits

Source of image.

• A 30,963 sq. ft. industrial building from 1980, operated as an Elmhurst industrial park multi-tenant warehouse.
• Less than one minute from the full interchange at I-290 and York Road, on the listing's own description, though its highlights separately put I-290 and I-294 access at 2 miles. O'Hare International Airport is 9.3 miles out.
• Ample parking, on a street carrying a daily traffic count of 1,762.

Pricing

There’s no available information about pricing on the page.

Pros and cons

✅ Under a minute from a full I-290 and York Road interchange.

✅ A multi-tenant building. You take a portion, not all 30,963 sq. ft.

✅ A DuPage County address with parking the listing describes as ample.

❌ Neither the rent nor the loading specs appear anywhere on the page.

#4: 864 N Addison Ave

Best for: Distribution, manufacturing, or food users that want new construction and will fund their own interior.

Location: 864 N Addison Ave, Elmhurst, IL 60126.

Source of image.

Built in 2025, 864 North Addison Avenue is the newest of the seven lease listings here, with 25,884 sq. ft. available inside a 31,510 sq. ft. precast building carrying 20 feet of clear height.

Amenities and benefits

Source of image.

• 25,884 sq. ft. on the first floor of a 31,510 sq. ft. building, delivered as shell space with immediate occupancy available.

• Less than 1 mile from I-290, close to Route 83 and O'Hare Airport, with 35 standard parking spaces.

Pricing

Shell delivery puts the build-out on you. Whatever rate you agree on covers only part of what occupying this space costs.

Source of image.

Pros and cons

✅ New construction completed in 2025, the only lease listing here built in this decade.

✅ A 20-foot clear height with 3 recessed docks and levelers already installed.

✅ Immediate occupancy, with a thicker slab and a higher clearance both listed as optional.

❌ The rent stays behind a quote.

#5: 747 Church Rd

Best for: A showroom-plus-warehouse tenant that wants signage, lab space, and a modified gross rate.

Location: 747 Church Rd, Elmhurst, IL 60126.

Source of image.

Four separate spaces are on the market at 747 Church Road, sized from 2,966 sq. ft. up to 18,224 sq. ft., the widest range of any single address here.

Amenities and benefits

Source of image.

• 4 spaces from 2,966 to 18,224 sq. ft. inside a 1982 building on 5.75 acres, zoned I.
• New interior building improvements, with great show room space with signage among the highlights.

• A property described as professionally owned and managed.

Pricing

$13.50 to $15.00 per sq. ft. per year, quoted as $1.13 to $1.25 per sq. ft. per month, on Modified Gross terms with a negotiable length.

Source of image.

Pros and cons

✅ A published rate, one of only two among the lease listings here.

✅ Modified Gross terms. Fewer costs stack on top than under triple net.

✅ Four sizes at one address, from under 3,000 sq. ft. to over 18,000.

❌ The listing publishes no clear height, dock count, or parking figure.

❌ The availability field is blank, so timing takes a call.

#6: 832 Industrial Dr

Best for: Light manufacturing that needs heavy amperage more than it needs dock doors.

Location: 832 Industrial Dr, Elmhurst, IL 60126.

Source of image.

Power is the reason to look at 832 Industrial Drive, where the building carries 2,000 amps and the listing calls out heavy power availability across 15,900 sq. ft. of available space.

It comes as a full build-out, and the tenants already in the building work in glass and metal. That tells you what the floor is set up to take.

Amenities and benefits

Source of image.

• 15,900 sq. ft. available inside a 90,214 sq. ft. masonry building from 1971, on 7.28 acres zoned I1.
• Power supply listed at 2,000 amps and 200 volts, with gas heating.
• 122 standard parking spaces and a dedicated office area for the administrative side, near Interstates 290 and 294 and roughly 10 miles from O'Hare International Airport.

Pricing

The landlord keeps the number off the listing.

Occupancy is 30 days out on a term open to negotiation, and because the space is listed as a full build-out, it comes finished.

Source of image.

Pros and cons

✅ 2,000 amps of service, the heaviest power figure published on this list.

✅ Full Build-Out with a dedicated office already in place.

✅ 122 parking spaces, generous against a 15,900 sq. ft. take.

❌ The pricing is not disclosed.

#7: 249 W Lake St

Best for: Anyone who needs finished space with a large office block and can work inside a term ending June 2027.

Location: 249 W Lake St, Elmhurst, IL 60126.

Source of image.

The term at 249 West Lake Street runs to June 2027, because this is sublease space available from the current tenant across 14,100 sq. ft.

Of that footprint, 3,600 sq. ft. is dedicated office space. The yard carries 100+ trailer stalls, unusual at this size.

Amenities and benefits

Source of image.

• 14,100 sq. ft. on the first floor of a 1965 masonry building on 4.31 acres, delivered as Full Build-Out.
• 3,600 sq. ft. of dedicated office space included, roughly a quarter of the total footprint.
• 8 grade-level doors under an 18' clear ceiling height.
• Car parking of 40+ spaces and trailer parking of 100+ stalls, with city water and city sewer.

Pricing

The rent is not published. The space is available now, on a term that ends June 2027.

That leaves roughly ten months on the sublease from August 2026. The runway is short unless the landlord extends.

Source of image.

Pros and cons

✅ 100+ trailer stalls, the only trailer parking any listing here publishes.

✅ 3,600 sq. ft. of finished office inside the 14,100 sq. ft.

✅ Eight grade level doors for a building of this footprint.

❌ The term ends in June 2027.

❌ A sublease puts your terms underneath somebody else's lease, and the rent is quoted privately.

#8: 960 Industrial Dr

Best for: A single tenant that wants a firm monthly number and three-phase power in under 6,000 sq. ft.

Location: 960 Industrial Dr, Elmhurst, IL 60126.

Source of image.

960 Industrial Drive is the only lease on this page that publishes a flat monthly rent, $5,725 a month for 5,725 sq. ft., which lands at $1.00 per sq. ft. per month.

The space comes with 400 AMPS, 3-phase power, and upgraded interior building finishes.

Amenities and benefits

Source of image.

• 5,725 sq. ft. as a single space inside a 68,900 sq. ft. manufacturing building from 1988, on 4.62 acres zoned I-1.
• 400 AMPS, 3-phase power, with 1 dock, 1 drive-in door listed for the space itself.
• Upgraded interior building finishes, available now on a negotiable length.
• The building overall lists a 16-foot clear ceiling height, 7 docks, 8 drive-ins, and 207 parking spaces, against the 1 dock and 1 drive-in door attached to this space.

Pricing

$5,725 a month, posted as $1.00 per sq. ft. per month or $12.00 per sq. ft. per year, on a Triple Net lease with a negotiable length.

Triple Net means the tax bill, the insurance, and the common area charges arrive separately, so treat $12.00 as a floor.

‍

Source of image.

Pros and cons

✅ A firm monthly number, $5,725, with no quote needed to compare it.

✅ 400 AMPS, 3-Phase Power in a space under 6,000 sq. ft.

✅ At $12.00 per sq. ft. per year, the lower of the only two published lease rates here.

❌ Triple net lease, which means that the base rent is the first of several bills.

❌ Only 1 dock and 1 drive-in door come with the space, and the rest of the building's loading is shared.

#9: 752 Industrial Dr

Best for: Small warehousing or light manufacturing tenants that want predictable occupancy costs and the option to double up.

Location: 736-776 Industrial Dr, Elmhurst, IL 60126.

Source of image.

Real estate taxes and operating expenses are included with the current stop at 752 Industrial Drive.

The space can also be combined with the adjacent unit for a contiguous 10,800 sq. ft. Growing here does not mean changing buildings.

Amenities and benefits

Source of image.

• 5,400 sq. ft. available now on the first floor, including 300 sq. ft. of dedicated office space.
• A 15'4" clear ceiling height with one interior depressed dock for loading and unloading.
• Gas unit heaters and a sprinkler system inside an 80,520 sq. ft. masonry building from 1975.
• Building power at 600 amps, 240 volts, three-phase.

Pricing

Pricing here is quoted privately, on a negotiable term. With taxes and operating expenses inside that figure, it should behave closer to a gross rent than a net one.

Source of image.

Pros and cons

✅ Real estate taxes and operating expenses included. Occupancy costs stay predictable.

✅ Next-door space available to reach 10,800 sq. ft. contiguous.

✅ 300 sq. ft. of office already inside the footprint. No fit-out needed for desks.

❌ The rent is quoted on request.

Location: 297 W Lake St, Elmhurst, IL 60126.
