Short history and local development context of Des Plaines
Des Plaines is a city in Cook County. It was incorporated on March 1, 1869. Des Plaines is a major northwest suburban city with a mix of residential, commercial, industrial and airport-adjacent activity. The municipality expanded around commercial corridors, offices, restaurants, hospitality uses and regional shopping or employment nodes.
The O’Hare and northwest corridor supports a strong daytime economy with logistics, industrial, office, hospitality and airport-adjacent commercial operations. Many properties in this corridor have multiple employee or service entrances, loading areas and parking zones that need dependable security coverage.
From a security planning perspective, the key question is how the building stock in Des Plaines evolved: older buildings often need retrofit-friendly upgrades, while newer properties usually need better integration, documentation and service support as systems expand.
