Chicago Office for Lease - Central Loop

Designed by world-renowned Spanish architect, Ricardo Bofill, 131 South Dearborn features an elegant architectural steel and reflective glass curtain wall that stands in stark relief against the vintage masonry and brooding anodized bronze facades adorned by its neighboring buildings. Evocative of a classical column with a heavy base, the 37-story building is capped by an articulated cornice that ascends above an illuminated, 30’-tall lobby. The podium includes an 11-story bustle, which expands the typical 34,000 SF floor plate to a sprawling 64,000 SF within the low-rise. This robust base stretches 131’s retail footprint by a full block to the famed State Street shopping corridor. An uncommon combination of architectural grace and infrastructural brawn, 131 South Dearborn is as relevant today as it was when it opened in 2003. 131 South Dearborn is still Chicago’s most state-of-the-art office building, boasting an unrivaled base building infrastructure highlighted by the market’s only 14-inch raised floor system. A floor at 131 South Dearborn is taller than a conventional building due to the generous 14’6” slab-to-slab height. In fact, the building’s 37th floor penthouse is equivalent to the height of a typical building’s 40th floor. 131 South Dearborn is one of only three buildings in Chicago that incorporates a raised floor system (and the only building with a 14” pedestal) designed to house wiring, communications and an underfloor air distribution system. Located on Adams Street between Dearborn and State Streets in the heart of Chicago’s Central Loop, 131 South Dearborn is proximate to all forms of commutation, recreation, culture and nightlife the CBD affords. 131 South Dearborn boasts an extensive offering of recently enhanced on-site amenities, including a newly updated all seasons space, outdoor lounge & athletic club.

Positioned within a recently rehabbed mixed-use building, this flagship space features 12’ ceiling height, an expansive all-glass storefront, and an efficient floorplate stretching approximately 85 feet deep; ideal for modern retail, healthcare, wellness, boutique fitness, and hospitality concepts. The premises also include ~816 SF of usable lower-level space, accommodating storage, office, treatment rooms, or back-of-house operations. Formerly home to Pilsen Community Books, one of the corridor’s long-standing cultural anchors, the space benefits from outstanding visibility, heavy pedestrian activity, and constant neighborhood engagement. ARCHITECTURAL IDENTITY: - Expansive all-glass façade providing strong street presence and branding capability. - 12+ foot clear ceiling height supporting a modern, open retail aesthetic. - Long, efficient floorplate stretching roughly eighty-five feet deep, ideal for flexible tenant layouts. - Additional ±816 SF of usable lower-level space suitable for storage, offices, treatment rooms, or back-of-house operations. - Formerly home to Pilsen Community Books, benefiting from strong neighborhood legacy, daily foot traffic, and community engagement. CORE CHARACTERISTICS - Main level consists of approximately fifteen hundred square feet of open, efficient retail space with excellent 18th Street frontage. - Floor-to-ceiling glass storefront offering exceptional branding visibility. - Depth and ceiling height support a wide variety of buildout types and tenant concepts. - Lower level includes approximately eight hundred sixteen square feet of usable space for operational or clinical support. - Prior use as a long-standing cultural bookstore reinforces the location’s alignment with Pilsen’s artistic and community-oriented identity. LOCATION & 18TH ST CORRIDOR: 18th Street in Pilsen is one of Chicago’s most recognizable neighborhood commercial corridors – a continuous stretch of independent retailers, destination restaurants, galleries, and cultural institutions that draw visitors from across the city and suburbs. DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE: The property sits within ZIP code 60608, which includes Pilsen and adjacent near-west neighborhoods: - Area includes more than eighty-one thousand residents, with Pilsen representing a major share. - Median age in the mid-thirties, reflecting a strong population of young adults and working professionals. - Median household income recently reached approximately seventy thousand seven hundred dollars and continues to rise. - Proximity to the University of Illinois at Chicago and the Illinois Medical District provides steady daily activity from students, residents, and early-career professionals. - Evolving Commercial Mix - Historically rooted in hospitality and multi-generational dining, the corridor has diversified significantly. - Growing presence of healthcare providers including primary care, women’s health, behavioral health, pediatrics, and community clinics. - Continued emergence of wellness, boutique fitness, specialty retail, design studios, grooming, and service-based operators. - This evolution positions 1102 W 18th Street as a rare opportunity to enter a corridor experiencing sustained demographic and commercial transformation. TENANT POSITIONING: Given its high-identity glass frontage, 12’ ceilings, long and efficient floorplate, and additional 816 SF of usable lower-level space, the premises are ideal for: - Healthcare and wellness practices: medical clinics, dental offices, optometry, behavioral health, med-spa concepts. - Fitness operators: personal training studios, yoga, pilates, barre, rehabilitation, or performance-focused concepts. - Retail users: specialty retail, experiential retail, gallery, boutique, home goods, and community-serving concepts. - Hospitality uses: café, bakery, dessert bar, wine bar, or fast-casual concepts leveraging both daytime and evening foot traffic. SHIFT FROM HOSPITALITY TO HEALTHCARE & PERSONAL FITNESS: Historically, 18th Street has been known for hospitality—multi-generational restaurants, bakeries, taquerías, and nightlife. As incomes and demand profiles have evolved, the corridor is steadily adding: - Healthcare & family services: primary-care clinics, pediatric practices, women’s health, behavioral health, and community health centers such as ACCESS and UI Health Pilsen. - Personal fitness & wellness: boutique fitness studios and personal-training concepts are increasingly targeting Pilsen and the near-west side to serve residents employed in the nearby Loop, Medical District, and universities (trend consistent with regional boutique fitness expansion on near-west corridors). - Lifestyle retail & specialty service: local design shops, art galleries, barbershops, salons, spa and grooming concepts, and pet service providers. This transition positions 1102 W 18th as a rare opportunity for healthcare, wellness, personal fitness, or hybrid hospitality/retail uses to plug into an established destination street while capturing unmet demand in these newer categories. PILSEN'S ARTISTIC LEGACY: - Recognized as one of Chicago’s most culturally rich neighborhoods with deep artistic roots. - Home to the National Museum of Mexican Art, drawing thousands of visitors annually. - Murals along 16th and 18th Streets form an outdoor gallery showcasing Mexican heritage, neighborhood history, and social narrative. CREATIVE & GALLERY POTENTIAL: - 12+ foot ceilings and strong natural light make the space exceptionally suitable for gallery or creative use. - Long floorplate enables a dedicated exhibition area accompanied by flexible workspace or studio functions. - Lower-level space ideal for art storage, workshops, classes, or private studios. - Directly positioned along the 18th Street arts spine, benefiting from consistent cultural programming, gallery openings, and mural walks. NEIGHBORHOOD ANCHOR: THALIA HALL: - Located just steps from historic Thalia Hall, one of Pilsen’s premier cultural venues. - Constructed in 1892 and designated a Chicago Landmark, now operating as a fully restored performance hall. - Venue capacity of up to eight hundred guests, generating high year-round foot traffic. - Hosts concerts, comedy shows, and private events, drawing visitors from across the city and region. - The hall’s restaurant, bar, and adjacent Tack Room piano bar create continuous day-to-night corridor activation.
