About Caton Commercial

     Caton Commercial Real Estate Group, based out of Plainfield, Illinois, is on solid ground. Since creating a separate commercial wing in the Caton Financial Services Corporation in 2001, owners and employees have grown Caton Commercial to the point that today its leasing division alone represents over 186,000,000 square feet and represents communities throughout South and Southwest Chicagoland.  The company represents a number of mixed-use developments in the works and has a myriad of retail and office space to offer. 

     Such company success is not just because the growth in Will County is “unprecedented,” (according to the Will County Land Use Department), but also because Caton Commercial Real Estate Group is a company deeply woven into the fabric of the community, and as such takes the responsibility of planned community development to heart. “The biggest reward is seeing a business be successful that we helped create,” Steve Caton, Plainfield Managing Broker, said.     

     One such development project is Budler Square, a wonderful community center that will serve Romeoville, IL and the surrounding areas starting in winter 2008.  The project has 26,000 sq ft. of retail and 20,000 sq. ft. of office space.  Budler Square`s location is ideal:  situated one-and-a-half miles west of heavily-traveled Weber Road, one-half mile east of the popular Four Seasons outdoor family sports complex, three miles from Carillon and Carillon Lakes Senior communities (both with large population counts), one-fourth mile east of the proposed Airport Road and I-55, and close to the cities of Plainfield, Cresthill, and Joliet.

     An exciting completed Caton Commercial project is a 112-acre commercial development, the newer 200,000-plus square foot Menards mega-store at the northeast corner of Weber Road and Caton Farm Road, towards I-55. The Menards mega-store serves the existing Joliet community and surrounding areas.  For information on other company projects, please visit our site`s Property Seach pages.

     Farmland/1031 exchanges involve selling farmland for development and using the proceeds to purchase more acreage than one began with, and/or purchase other properties on a tax sheltered basis.

     Caton Commercial`s Industrial Commercial Division has developed a network of resources--survey companies, environmental audit/remediation, banking/loan professionals, real estate attorneys, general contractors, warehouse racking systems, crane companies, sign companies, office furniture, and much, much more--to assist their clients before, during, and after each transaction.

     The Company`s Property Management team manages every property from an owner`s perspective with one main goal in mind:  to produce the highest return over the life of the asset.  The management specialists strive to optimize their clients` investments by increasing income, decreasing expenses, and maintaining the asset in its optimal physical condition.

     Caton Commercial is a group of people with interests that go beyond simply brick and stone. As a company whose mission statement includes a belief that “…our community and those we serve can be ideal places to live, work, and prosper,” Caton Commercial commitments include many charitable initiatives such as Trivia Mania Night for Special Olympics, Big Brothers/Big Sisters` Bowl for Kids` Sake, as well as other community activities. “It’s been a part of our company culture and a firm belief that when you work and live in a community, you should contribute back to it,” said Owner/Broker Bill Caton.

     Caton Commercial Real Estate Group is open for business Monday through Friday, 9 am to 5 pm with appointments available in the evenings and on weekends. Inquiries can be directed to info@catoncommercial.com and 815-436-5700.
