Check out our new drone footage of The Pointe 146-acre site and the new 95-acre Park North commercial development just south across IL Highway 143. The new, 4-way lighted IL 143 intersection into the north and sides of the highway looks great.

Drone photography is a great development tool that readily provides the viewer with the bigger picture when assessing the viability and attributes of a given site. This new drone footage also includes the Park North development and provides a real world “before and after” contrast view of the post-site infrastructure installation in Park North vs. the current raw, predeveloped state of The Pointe parcel.

For further comparison, older drone video footage done in 2018 is still up on the Pangea Development website and provides for a neat before and after comparison of the Park North parcel. From woods and fields to family attractions, restaurants and hospitality all in a beautiful setting.

Forward trending, the north side of IL Highway 143 is the natural “path of progress” for commercial development at the Interstate 55 and IL 143 Interchange in Edwardsville, IL. The Pointe site offers prime developable land all located in the Gateway Commerce Center Enterprise Zone along with good ingress and egress options, a high traffic count and in place complimentary demand generators (i.e., The Plummer Family Park and Park North Golf Club).

Please contact Pangea Development for more information on The Pointe.

Your canvas awaits!

The St. Louis Regional Freightway recently announced the completion of the $222 million project to replace the Merchants Bridge over the Mississippi River.

The railroad bridge provides a critical railway link not only between Illinois and Missouri but the nation overall as one of the primary east-west rail corridors serving one of America’s largest rail hubs by car interchange volume and gross tonnage.

The project has been decades in the making and will provide major benefits for years to come including generating over $456 million of economic impact over the next 20 years alone.

Terry Bordeleau, Vice President

On August 12, 2022, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, in conjunction with the Illinois Department of Transportation, announced a $34.6 billion infrastructure improvement program for the State’s roads, bridges, transit, rail systems, airports, and ports over the next six years. The Governor stated that the plan is an investment in the future of the State and one that will lead to “economic prosperity and environmental sustainability.” We applaud Governor Pritzker’s action and look forward to the positive changes these multifaceted investments will facilitate state-wide and for Southwestern Illinois in particular.

As Daylight Savings Time is ushered in this Sunday, March 13th and Spring rapidly approaches, the St. Louis Metro and Southwestern Illinois (SWIL) region continues to “spring forward” with its focus on transportation, workforce development, and innovation. The continued expansion of Scott Air Force Base with over $300M in new construction and the recently announced MidAmerica Airport improvements were both big wins for the region.

2022 is already shaping up to be a great year and we look forward to more exciting announcements soon!

Sean Goding, President

MidAmerica Airport located in Mascoutah, IL has released the results of a recent economic impact study. In CY 2019, the airport generated $3.1 billion in total economic impact, up from $2.5 billion in 2012. The amount equals the sum of on-airport activity generated by the airport management and administration and airport tenants, as well as on-airport construction.

“MidAmerica Airport acts as a gateway for business and recreational visitors to the St. Louis metropolitan area and provides an affordable, hassle-free option for residents throughout our region to fly directly to a dozen popular destinations,” said MidAmerica Airport Director Bryan Johnson. “2021 has been a remarkable year and can’t wait to see what 2022 brings our way.”

Site Selection magazine recently ranked the State of Illinois as the top-ranked state in the nation for sustainability. More info here: https://t.co/9wcErgU1sx?amp=1

Jordan Abudayyeh, spokesperson for IL Governor J.B. Pritzker, spoke recently about Site Selection’s #1 ranking of Illinois, based on a number of environmental factors.

Site Selection magazine publishes “information for expansion planning decision-makers,” according to its website, and Abudayyeh said the top ranking is “an important selling point to potential businesses looking to put roots down in a state that demonstrates its commitment to the environment and provides them opportunities to contribute to a clean energy future.”

Pangea Development Company’s core mission includes an environment and design pillar so every Pangea project is done in a such a way to minimize impact and altering of the natural ecosystems. We applaud the State of Illinois on its efforts in these critical areas and for the great national press exposure.

Please find the following link to the article that appeared recently in the Edwardsville Intelligencer highlighting Pangea Development’s two
mixed-use commercial developments in Edwardsville, IL: The Pointe and Park North (formerly Pin Oak Plaza).

Both sites are located on the west side of the Interstate 55 and IL Highway 143 Interchange. The Pointe is located on the north side of IL 143 and now encompasses an additional 84 acres made possible through a partnership with Gori Realtors. And with a 14-acre entertainment complex (w/ 115 jobs) being proposed for the SW corner of the 95-acre Park North development, things are certainly looking even bigger and better for the future of the Interchange.
