Positioned along the highly trafficked Stony Island Avenue corridor on Chicago’s South Side, this turnkey restaurant opportunity offers operators and investors a rare chance to acquire or lease a like-new, fully built-out freestanding restaurant with dedicated parking. Formerly occupied by Huddle House, the property features a modern free-standing building that was developed within the last few years, presenting a clean slate for a new concept. The offering includes all existing FF&E, allowing for immediate occupancy with minimal downtime and significantly reduced startup costs. The layout is optimized for efficient service, accommodating dine-in, carryout, and potential delivery operations. Situated on a prominent stretch of Stony Island Ave.—one of the South Side’s primary north-south thoroughfares—the site benefits from strong visibility, accessibility, and consistent vehicular traffic. Importantly, Stony Island serves as a direct arterial route to the future Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park, one of the most anticipated developments in the country, expected to draw millions of annual visitors. Ongoing and planned infrastructure improvements along the corridor—including roadway enhancements and potential lane expansions—are designed to support increased traffic flow and accessibility to the area, further strengthening the long-term positioning of this location. The surrounding Calumet Heights area continues to see reinvestment and growing demand, with limited freestanding restaurant inventory available.  This opportunity is well-suited for a wide range of concepts including quick-service, fast casual, full-service dining, or franchise expansion. With infrastructure already in place, operators can focus capital on branding and operations rather than construction.

  • Lease rate does not include utilities, property expenses or building services
  • Fully Built-Out as a Restaurant or Café Space
  • Second Generation Restaurant - Turnkey Condition
  • Modern dining and kitchen.
  • High-visibility frontage.
  • On-site parking.

Rent Types


The rent amount and type that the tenant (lessee) will be responsible to pay to the landlord (lessor) throughout the lease term is negotiated prior to both parties signing a lease agreement. The rent type will vary depending upon the services provided. For example, triple net rents are typically lower than full service rents due to additional expenses the tenant is required to pay in addition to the base rent. Contact the listing broker for a full understanding of any associated costs or additional expenses for each rent type.

1. Full Service: A rental rate that includes normal building standard services as provided by the landlord within a base year rental.

2. Double Net (NN): Tenant pays for only two of the building expenses; the landlord and tenant determine the specific expenses prior to signing the lease agreement.

3. Triple Net (NNN): A lease in which the tenant is responsible for all expenses associated with their proportional share of occupancy of the building.

4. Modified Gross: Modified Gross is a general type of lease rate where typically the tenant will be responsible for their proportional share of one or more of the expenses. The landlord will pay the remaining expenses. See the below list of common Modified Gross rental rate structures: 4. Plus All Utilities: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of utilities in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Cleaning: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of cleaning in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Electric: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of the electrical cost in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Electric & Cleaning: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of the electrical and cleaning cost in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Utilities and Char: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of the utilities and cleaning cost in addition to the rent. 4. Industrial Gross: A type of Modified Gross lease where the tenant pays one or more of the expenses in addition to the rent. The landlord and tenant determine these prior to signing the lease agreement.

5. Tenant Electric: The landlord pays for all services and the tenant is responsible for their usage of lights and electrical outlets in the space they occupy.

6. Negotiable or Upon Request: Used when the leasing contact does not provide the rent or service type.
