ARCO/Murray, Tovala, and Brennan Investment Group Break Ground on New Food Processing Facility in Winfield, Illinois
WINFIELD, IL – ARCO/Murray recently joined Tovala, Brennan Investment Group, and local leaders to celebrate the groundbreaking of a new 140,340 SF, state-of-the-art food processing facility in Winfield, Illinois. Located just off North Avenue with easy access to I-355, the build-to-suit project will support Tovala’s continued growth and expand its Midwestern production footprint.
Since the first 1,000 SF kitchen project for Tovala in 2017, ARCO’s partnership with them has grown to encompass four increasingly large and complex projects. ARCO is excited to build on this momentum as we partner on Tovala’s first-ever ground-up development. Working closely with the project’s developer, Brennan Investment Group and end user, Tovala, ARCO has now designed a highly efficient, flexible layout that supports multiple production lines, temperature-controlled storage, quality assurance labs, and modern employee amenities. The new facility features a 30’ clear height, more than 15,000 SF of office and employee space, a mix of dry and cold dock positions, 54,428 SF of dry storage, 47,808 SF of refrigerated space, and 13,500 SF of frozen storage to support Tovala’s expanding operations.
Special thanks to the Village of Winfield, Village President Carl Sorgatz, State Senator Seth Lewis, and local and state stakeholders for their leadership and support in bringing this project to life. ARCO looks forward to delivering a facility that will help Tovala continue to innovate, create jobs, and serve customers across the region for years to come. Construction is now underway, with completion anticipated in 2027.
