Navistar Picks Lucent Lane for $110M HQ Move

LISLE, IL-Navistar Inc., the maker of trucks, engines, buses and recreational vehicles, announced Wednesday that it plans to invest $110 million in the purchase and redevelopment of the 1.2-million-square-foot former Alcatel-Lucent office complex at 2601 Lucent Ln. The move will create a new world headquarters for the company, moving executive management, business operations and product development to the 85-acre property.

The company started about 18 months ago looking to move out of its current Warrenville, IL location, according to their broker Jones Lang LaSalle. About six miles east along Interstate 88, Alcatel-Lucent put its campus on the market, after consolidations left the firm occupying only about 85,000 square feet at the property.
