Property Description
This 14,000 sf, 1.5-story building is a highly visible commercial opportunity in the heart of Chicago's thriving Galewood corridor. Situated along a high-traffic stretch of Harlem Avenue, this property benefits from exceptional exposure and a rapidly evolving surrounding market. The building has been significantly upgraded with brand-new brick facade, windows, and entrance delivering strong curb appeal and a modernized exterior presence. Inside, the space has been fully gutted, offering a rare opportunity to design and build to suit. The property features an expansive, completely open floor plan, made possible by its roof and truss design, ideal for retail, showroom, medical, fitness, or creative commercial uses. Included is 2,000 square foot second-floor area which provides additional flexibility for office buildout, administrative space, or private suites. The structure spans nearly the entire 50 x 198 lot, maximizing usable square footage and creating a substantial footprint rarely found in the area. This location is at the center of major neighborhood investment and growth. Just steps away, a new 60,000+ square foot outpatient medical campus by Rush University Medical Center is transforming the corridor, bringing expanded healthcare services, jobs, and daily foot traffic to the area. A new multi-million-dollar state of the art library is being planned by the City of Chicago. Additional nearby developments include new residential projects such as the Enclave Galewood mixed-use community featuring over 100+ apartments and townhomes, further increasing local density and consumer demand. The neighborhood continues to see ongoing residential, medical, and retail investment, along with planned amenities including new community infrastructure and services, positioning Harlem Avenue as a key commercial spine connecting Chicago to neighboring suburbs. This is a blank-slate, high-visibility asset in a rapidly improving submarket is ideal for an owner-user or investor seeking to capitalize on Galewood's next phase of growth. Property owner is also open to leasing the space.
