Industrial Corridor would be sold to developer Sterling Bay LLC for $104.7 million. A portion of the proceeds would be used to construct a new, $37 million maintenance headquarters at 6800 S. Wentworth Ave. The new 200,000-sq. ft. replacement building would maintain and repair city vehicles such as fire engines, garbage trucks, and snowplows.
