Weiss Realty’s 2500 North Commerce Park in Decatur selected for Illinois ASAP Program

Advancing development-ready site capable to support 800,000 s/f 274 megawatt data center

Moonachie, NJ / Decatur, IL — Moonachie-based Weiss Realty announced today that its 138-acre 2500 North Commerce Park in Decatur, Illinois, has been selected to participate in the Accelerated Site Assessment Program (ASAP) in cooperation with Ameren, the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, and Decatur EDA.

The ASAP Program is a statewide initiative designed to help companies move more quickly from site selection to development by advancing the readiness of large-scale industrial properties. Participation in the pilot program places 2500 North Commerce Park among a select group of sites positioned for accelerated permitting, infrastructure coordination, and reduced pre-development timelines—key advantages for data center, advanced manufacturing, and logistics users.

The 138-acre campus is fully approved and earmarked to support up to 274 megawatts and over 800,000 s/f of space devoted exclusively for data center development, offering a rare, power-ready opportunity for energy-intensive operations seeking scalability and speed to market. The site supports flexible build-to-suit configurations for data centers, warehouse, and distribution facilities, with ample land for phased expansion.

“We are extremely excited and proud to see our property recognized as a priority development site for Illinois,” said Jaime Weiss, president of Weiss Realty. “Our goal is to make it easier for companies to move quickly and confidently. The ASAP Program strengthens the site’s readiness and enhances its appeal to users seeking power, scale, and long-term growth potential.”

Weiss Realty acquired the Decatur property in 2003 and has long operated it as a large-scale industrial asset. The site previously supported major industrial and warehousing operations, including a long-term facility occupied by Caterpillar for more than 15 years, before operations were consolidated into a company-owned location. That legacy, combined with current infrastructure planning, positions the site for its next generation of users.

Strategically located adjacent to the MidWest Intermodal Inland Park near major highways and the Decatur Airport, 2500 North Commerce Park offers tenants regional and national connectivity, full utilities, and the scale required for modern industrial and digital infrastructure investment.

Companies interested in data center, advanced manufacturing, or logistics development opportunities at 2500 North Commerce Park are encouraged to explore the site’s capabilities and development potential.
