9 Acres On Black Road For Sale, But Is This Price Right?

SHOREWOOD, IL — When you drive along Black Road in Joliet and Shorewood, you don't think of this busy corridor as still having large parcels of undeveloped land. But it does. However, one of the few remaining vacant parcels — more than 9 acres — is on the real estate market. The 9.3-acre property is available for $1.9 million.

It's being touted as commercial land and the property is zoned for businesses. The price per acre comes out to $204,521, the listing notes. According to LoopNet, the land sale includes one old house and various outbuildings that "have no contributory value" and are being sold "as is."

The undeveloped parcel at 24132 West Black Road is on the other side of Black Road from the Home Depot store. This summer, as thousands of Joliet Patch readers are aware, a new Aldi grocery store is being built on one of the Home Depot out lots.

As for the vacant parcel on the other side of the road from Home Depot, it's "ideal for many uses with all utilities to site. Near many national retail and office developments in the Route 59 corridor in Shorewood," the Coldwell Banker listing reads.

Fran Hondros of the Coldwell Banker offices on Joliet's Essington Road is the real estate agent handling the 9.3-acre property.
