A Frito Lay distribution facility spurred growth at the Peoria Logistics Park, attracting major tenants like Trader Joe’s. Trader Joe’s selected the location due to its central position and the opportunity to customize its facility. The park’s developer, VanTrust Real Estate, also sold land to Younger Brothers Cos. and is developing speculative industrial buildings, with potential for build-to-suit options based on tenant interest. Additionally, VanTrust is in talks to sell land to a data center company, potentially making it Peoria’s first data center development. The success of the project is credited to VanTrust’s flexibility and partnerships with the city of Peoria, along with the broader industrial development landscape in the area.
