Launching the Research Park has been a collaborative effort between Fox/Atkins Development and The University of Illinois.  Firms, like SAIC, were enticed to relocate from other Fox Development Corporation properties, while Caterpillar with a relationship with the University started out with a very small presence and grew into a revenue generating 100 person corporate department, and start-ups, like iCyt, graduated from the University’s incubator.

 
Leasing Opportunities in the Research Park

Fox/Atkins Development LLC is the developer of the Research Park and manages the leasing of multi-tenant buildings through FDC, LLC. There are five multi-tenant buildings in the Research Park with commercial office space available for lease. Fox/Atkins constructs custom office space within the buildings for tenants to meet their needs. An architect and interior designer works with each tenant to create a layout and design to reflect the company's needs. Leasing in the Research Park is priced competitively with other university research parks. Fox/Atkins offers financing options to provide turn-key opportunities for tenants to move into completed space.
