Quote from @Franko Shenault:

Most people think EV real estate is about putting chargers in a parking lot. That’s not a business. The real opportunity is in owning the places where people spend 20 to 40 minutes of their day while their car charges.

That’s what I’m building with DockYard Ventures. We call them mobility docks — sites where people eat, charge, and gather. Each one is designed as a small economic engine with food, retail, solar, and community amenities that turn dwell time into revenue.

I’m looking for 1–2 acre commercial properties in the Chicagoland region, especially in Bloomingdale, Skokie, Schaumburg, Oak Park, Naperville, Grayslake, and Kankakee. Former retail pads, banks, or restaurants are great, and I’m open to vacant land if it fits the vision.

I’m also connecting with investors, developers, and strategic partners who see the upside of getting in early. EV adoption is accelerating, and the infrastructure to support it is still wide open.

If you want to talk sites, capital, or ways to collaborate, let’s connect. This is a rare chance to help shape how and where the EV future is built.
