In 2006, McVickers and Walmart simultaneously purchased two parcels of land totaling thirty-four acres, at First Avenue and 47th Street in McCook, Illinois. After rezoning the land for a Walmart Supercenter and seven outlots, Walmart delayed ultimately decided against building a store on their portion of the development. In 2013, McVickers purchased Walmart’s land and rezoned both parcels for the development of 625,000 square feet of industrial space. Construction of the first 325,000 square foot industrial building is scheduled to begin in Spring 2014.
