Explore some of the creative ways Illinoisans have repurposed steel shipping containers.
With hinged doors at both ends, cars can drive in at one end of the steel container and exit the other. Therefore, containers are cost-effective ways to expand capacity at existing brick-and-mortar automotive stations, replace an old or deteriorating station, or sit independently as a storefront in a lot.
One of Chicago's most noteworthy applications for repurposed containers is in the Bronzeville Area, on Chicago’s South Side. Fondly nicknamed “Boxville,” a series of shipping containers serve as storefronts for the black and brown entrepreneurs of the local community.
Since 2017, the goals of Boxville have been threefold:
• Keep the dollars in the community.
• Offer an opportunity to launch local small businesses without the overhead of a brick-and-mortar building.
• Provide goods to an under-resourced community
Builders construct both individual homes and entire subdivisions from shipping containers.
Individual Homes
Individual container homes are scattered throughout Chicago and its suburbs. Upscale container homes, such as one in St. Charles, Illinois, sold for $743,000. In Westmont, Illinois, another Chicago suburb, the container home sold for $525,000.
Subdivisions
In other areas, such as the Englewood, Chatham, and Auburn Gresham neighborhoods on the Southside of Chicago, modest three- and four-bedroom homes are built from 40-foot containers. Home prices will start at $300,000.
Customized containers are also sourced as entertainment venues and community gathering places.
In rural Loves Park, Illinois, part of the Rockford, Illinois, metropolitan statistical area, plans are underway to build a combination retail and entertainment complex.
At 838 W. Kinzie Street in Chicago, you can find an outdoor patio and stage made from repurposed shipping containers.
Similarly, containers serve as a community center in Woodlawn, a neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago.
Pop-up museums, libraries, retail markets, and more grace the Chicagoland area.
Urban and rural hydroponic container farms are an eco-friendly, climate-controlled way to maximize space and extend the Chicago growing season. Year-round, hydroponic farms grow in vertical trays, for example, in Mokena, Illinois, and in the Fulton Market district in Chicago.
