Village eyes alternate tenants for Pathway building
Village Administrator Daniel Dubruiel cautioned demand for office space remains high and the 40,000 square foot Pathway building could quickly attract new tenants or buyers. Pathway, moved from Chicago two years ago and now owned by First Nationwide Bank of Illinois, employs about 180, with unclear local versus Chicago origins. Matteson officials expect a smooth transition and are in talks with several potential buyers, citing accessibility to highways, proximity to Chicago, labor supply, low costs, and modern facilities.
