About University Park at SIUE

200 University Park

More than $3.9 million has been invested in University Park by the state of Illinois for the creation of concrete roads and the installation of utilities capable of supporting more than one million square feet of building space. Approximately 155 acres are fully improved, with street lighting, entry signage, landscaping and buried utilities at the lot line.

The property is carefully covenanted to protect property values. Land is available on a long-term lease basis, so that companies can retain more capital for core businesses.

Close proximity to all major regional interstates, including I-255, 55, 270, 70 and 64, and to Illinois Routes 157 and 159 gives University Park tenants easy access to the greater St. Louis metropolitan area.

University Park History

In the mid-1980s, an idea was born—to forge and cultivate partnerships between SIUE and businesses across the region. Ground was broken on University Park at SIUE in 1990. University Park’s vision was to become a recognized leader in economic development comprised of entrepreneurial businesses that conduct leading-edge research and development with a focus on emerging biotechnologies.

  • 155 acres of fully improved land
  • 175 acres of additional land for future growth
  • 169 full-time and 93 part-time employees, and 103 student workers
  • 50 employees are SIUE graduates
