Aurora Retail for Sale - Western East/West Corr

The Boulder Group is pleased to exclusively market for sale a single-tenant net-leased Steak ‘n Shake property located within the Chicago MSA in Aurora, Illinois. Steak ‘n Shake has been successfully operating from this location since 1998. In 2018, Steak ‘n Shake signed a long-term lease extending through July 2030, demonstrating a strong commitment to the site. The lease features 6.25% rental escalations in 2028 and in the second renewal option. Additionally, the lease is absolute triple net, presenting zero landlord responsibilities. The 3,760 square-foot building bene?ts from its position along the high-traffic Route 59 Corridor, which experiences 68,000 vehicles per day. The subject property is positioned as an outparcel to Fox Valley Mall, a 1,000,000 square-foot regional shopping center home to over 120 retail tenants. Nationally recognized neighboring retailers include Target, Meijer, Whole Foods Market, The Home Depot, Walmart, Best Buy, ALDI, Burlington, At Home, Floor & Décor, Costco, Lowe’s, and many others. The property also bene?ts from 627 luxury apartment units on-site, as Fox Valley Mall’s “Reimagining Fox Valley” redevelopment has introduced Lumen Fox Valley (304 units) and Lucca Fox Valley (323 units), delivering a built-in, high-quality customer base. Furthermore, the property is surrounded by a dense and affluent population, with 260,000 residents living within a 5-mile radius who earn an average household income of over $161,000. Lastly, the site enjoys immediate proximity to three major hospitals — Rush Copley Medical Center (210 beds), Ascension Mercy Medical Center (292 beds), and Edward Hospital in Naperville (371 beds) serving as a signi?cant demand driver for the surrounding retail corridor. Steak ‘n Shake is an iconic American fast-food chain founded in February 1934 by Gus Belt in Normal, Illinois, where he converted a gas station into the ?rst location along historic Route 66. Renowned for pioneering the “Steakburger”—made from ground steak and ground fresh in view of customers—and hand-dipped milkshakes, the company built its reputation on high-quality ingredients, including its famous beef tallow fries. Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, it operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Biglari Holdings. In recent years, the chain has undergone a successful revitalization, achieving its best same-store sales performance in decades with a 10.2% increase in 2025—driven by moves like switching to 100% all-natural beef tallow for fries, accepting Bitcoin (which boosted sales dramatically), eliminating microwaves for traditional cooking, and launching packaged beef tallow products.

Chicago Portfolio of properties for Sale - Northwest City

Pegasus Investments Real Estate Advisory Inc. in conjunction with Bang Realty, as exclusive investment sales advisors to the seller, are pleased to offer the incredible opportunity to purchase Elevate Lincoln Park (the “Property”). The Property checks every amenity box. It features four single-tenant leases totaling 187,204 SF, with premier access and branding along the Kennedy Expressway (I-94). A strong 5:1 parking ratio enhances convenience for tenants and visitors alike. Ideally positioned within Lincoln Park, Bucktown, and Wicker Park, three of Chicago’s most affluent neighborhoods, the Property benefits from exceptional demographics. Average household income exceeds $175,000 within a one-mile radius, with a population density surpassing 1.1 million people within five miles. Additionally, more than 4,000 new homes are planned within three blocks, further strengthening the area’s long-term growth trajectory. For over 20 years, the Property has been anchored by national tenants Best Buy, Kohl’s, and BMO Financial Group. The Property is newly complemented by Chicago Speech Therapy (CST), an established local brand. The four NNN ground leases are backed by corporate guarantees with the tenants maintaining all aspects of their respective buildings. Lease renewals by Best Buy and BMO showcases the strong underlying fundamentals of the Property, stickiness of the tenants and stable cash flows. Of note, this Kohl’s location ranks in the top 3% nationally of all Kohl’s locations according to Placer.ai. This Best Buy is the only north side store, ranking in the top 10% nationally, and demonstrated its commitment to the Property by having recently exercised its first 5-year option with zero landlord concessions. In addition, BMO and CST have entered into new 10-year net leases. The amenities of the Property combined with strong demand for big box retail in the corridor assures little risk of vacancy and bodes well for continuous occupancy into perpetuity. Ensuring demand for the Property into perpetuity, the adjacent Lincoln Park neighborhood of Foundry Park (foundryparkchicago.com) will be adding 4,000 homes and $2.8 billion of additional investment into the immediate area. This sustained influx of residential density continues to reinforce daily traffic, tenant demand, and long-term fundamentals for the Property.

FREESTANDING 2,900 SF RETAIL / AUTO BUILDING — VACANT, MOVE-IN READY — ELSTON AVENUE, CHICAGO — $1,000,000 Freestanding 2,900 SF commercial building on busy N Elston Avenue in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood — fully vacant and available for immediate occupancy. Currently configured as a 3-bay automotive repair shop with office and parking on a 0.34-acre site, the flexible layout takes retail, service or automotive uses without a gut rehab. Elston carries approximately 13,900 vehicles per day past the door (Illinois Department of Transportation, 2025 average annual daily traffic). At $345/SF, it is competitively priced for the corridor — and there is no lease to inherit and no tenant to relocate: the keys are yours at closing. WHY THIS BUILDING WORKS Owner-user freedom is the whole story here. Vacant freestanding buildings on Chicago's arterial corridors are scarce — most of what trades is leased, and the buyer inherits someone else's tenant and timeline. This one is empty, visible, and ready. The C1-1 zoning is unusually friendly for the configuration: motor vehicle repair — both minor AND major, including body work and painting — is permitted BY RIGHT, along with retail, restaurant, personal service, medical, day care and animal services. Occupy it as an automotive operation using the existing bays, or convert the open layout to showroom, retail or service use. THE BUILDING 2,900 SF freestanding masonry building on approximately 0.34 acres, built 1939. Currently built out as a 3-bay auto repair shop with office — bays and shop infrastructure in place (buyer to verify systems and condition). Flexible layout adaptable to retail, showroom or service configurations. On-site parking. Street visibility and signage potential on N Elston Ave. Vacant — immediate occupancy at closing. LOCATION Elston Avenue is one of Chicago's defining diagonal commercial corridors, running the length of the northwest side with I-90/94 access minutes from the property.
