Crain’s Chicago Business is reporting that Amazon is coming to Chicago. The online retailer has leased a 52,000 square foot warehouse on North Cherry Avenue in Goose Island. The facility could mean speedier delivery for Chicagoans, especially in nearby neighborhoods like Lincoln Park and Bucktown. Joining us to explain the move is Howard Wendren. He’s the principal of Dayton Street Partners, a commercial real estate investment and development firm in Chicago.
