Chester Construction Obtains Land in Eastport Centre, Valparaiso

May 5, 2026

Chester Inc

Valparaiso, IN — A 4.1-acre parcel of land located in Eastport Centre at 2601 Leonard Drive has officially been sold to Chester Construction.

 

Chester Construction, a full-service construction and development firm known for delivering high-quality commercial and industrial projects across the region, continues to invest in strategic land opportunities.

 

The site is well-positioned within a rapidly growing corridor, with continued development taking place throughout Eastport Centre and nearby areas. Its size, visibility from State Road 49 and its flexibility for a variety of new build concepts offer significant potential.  Ongoing investment in the surrounding market makes this location a strong opportunity for future development.  The current construction in Eastport Centre of a new 82,000 Franciscan Medical Campus, at the intersection of State Roads 2 and 49, is driving even greater interest.
The seller was represented by Julia Turner of Latitude Commercial, and the buyer was represented by Ryan Peters of Street Front Realty.

 

“This transaction is a strong indicator of the continued demand for well-located development land in the market,” said Julia Turner. “Opportunities like 2601 Leonard Drive are becoming increasingly limited, and we’re excited to see a group like Chester Construction position themselves to deliver future growth with this acquisition.”

 

We look forward to what the future brings for this location by Chester Construction.
