Chicago Office, Office/Retail for Lease - West Loop

The Washington Block sits quietly and modestly on the corner of Washington and Wells (formerly 5th Avenue). Oft-overlooked in favor of more visually striking skyscrapers, 40 N Wells is rich with history. Its walls have seen a wealth of tragedy and triumph since its construction in 1873. The reconstruction boom sought to begin healing the wounds left by the Great Chicago Fire in 1871. It was commissioned by Barbara Cure and John P Olinger of Olinger & Ballard, who hoped that The Washington Block would help to extend the Loop’s business district further west. Designed by the Baumann cousins, the building became the first signifacnt example of an isolated pier foundation, which was a major advance in developing adequate stable foundations for the city’s infamously compressible soil. Multiple ornate textured surfaces, punch-open windows, carved hoods, and a timely Victorian influence characterized the internal and external aesthetic of the building. An optimistic report shortly following the building’s construction stated that “this building, with those occupying the other three corners, (all of which are very beautiful,) combines to form a series of the most attractive business corners on the South Side of the Chicago River, and virtually does away with all rumors regarding the low value of business property in the location named. It probably has enhanced the price of real estate at least 25 percent within the past six months, and no doubt this figure will be doubled within the next twelve months.” Unfortunately, such optimism was misplaced. In the late 1800s, 4-5 story skyscrapers fell out of favor, and the construction of the El line further detracted from interest. Nearly all buildings with similar construction were demolished by the early 1900s for later replacement by 10+ story buildings, including all of the Baumanns’ buildings… except one. The Washington Block survived by sheer luck due to its isolated location at the time. It flew under the radar for decades, which made it a highly desirable location for speakeasies and surreptitious gambling sites. In the 1920s and 30s, The Washington Block saw multiple police raids and dozens of arrests, particularly in t he wake of the 1919 Black Sox scandal which uncovered a massive gambling scheme that slithered through Chicago’s dark underbelly. Gambling and prohibition raids plagued the Central Loop, with business-owners and agents facing arrest nearly every day at 40 North Wells. Were that not enough, a 1926 investigation revealed a massive health scam on the part of a medical tenant who prescribed unnecessary procedures and expensive snake oil drugs to unsuspecting patients seeking help for, well, “lost manhood” issues. The quack doctor lost his license, but not before draining many innocent patients of their time, money, and self-esteem.In the 1950s, the building faced yet another scandal: its contemporary remodeling removed many of the historically significant finishes, shearing off the original metal facings, stonework, and cresting, replacing nearly all of the interior features on the ground floor except for the original spiral staircase which can be admired even today. It wasn’t until the early 2000s that developers began reforming the original tooling and keystones that made The Washington Block so attractive. In 1997, the building was designated a Chicago landmark, and signified as “Red” by the Chicago Historic Resources Survey. A red designation is only awarded to structures that are architecturally or historically significant in the context of the City, the State of Illinois, or the country. A red designation is a major honor, and signifies long-awaited recognition for a building that had been overlooked and under-appreciated, abused and ignored, for over a century. Today, The Washington Block is a distinguished and distinctive home for small-to-midsized tenants, boasting stunning hardwood floors, 12-foot ceilings, and enormous floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the hustle and bustle of the city.

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.
