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.

The elegant lobby has Italian marble walls with 45-foot arched, bronze-framed entryways and a barrel-vaulted ceiling adorned with gold leaf. In 2019 a redevelopment of the 40th floor was completed, the building's amenity floor. Work included a new building lounge called The Stacks, remodeling the existing library, and upgrading the conference facilities. The new lounge includes expansive seating, TVs, and a new bar, which is visible as you step off the elevators. The library is a beautiful, historic, and extremely popular amenity. The offering is enhanced by modifying the configuration to open the space up and allow access to the new lounge and bar area. The existing conference rooms are upgraded with all-new finishes, including painting, lighting, furniture, and modernized technology. The building's two main lobbies were also upgraded in 2018. The goal was to create a more modern feel and enhance the architectural integrity of the building. Work included new furniture, extensive lighting upgrades, and more substantial check-in desks. Additionally, a complete elevator modernization is underway as well. Businesses can expect overtime HVAC costs of $35 per hour and available executive parking at $450 per month. Furthermore, a private 5,600-square-foot fitness center operated by FFC is located on the mezzanine level.

Chicago Retail for Lease - South Chicago

PRIME DRIVE-THRU OPPORTUNITY ON 79TH ST - A WELL-ESTABLISHED COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR 1914 W 79th Street, a freestanding 3,712 sqft former national quick-service restaurant on a 0.51-acre signalized corner site along Chicago's high-traffic 79th Street commercial spine. Purpose-built in 2005 with a drive-thru pad and full operational infrastructure intact, the property delivers a true 2nd-generation opportunity for a national, regional or local QSR operator or a drive-thru-dependent retail or healthcare user. The property is being offered for long-term lease on a triple-net (NNN) structure. PROPERTY OVERVIEW Address: 1914 W 79th Street, Chicago, IL 60620 Building Size: 3 ,712 SqFt Freestanding Buildlng Land Area: 0.51 acres (22,216 SF) Year Built: 2005 Configuration: Drive-thru lane with proper stacking, dedicated parking field, dual ingress and egress Submarket: Auburn Gresham / Gresham, South Side Chicago County: Cook PINs: 20-30-429-042, 20-30-429-037, 20-30-429-036, 20-30-429-035 Status: Vacant; ready for immediate operator build-out or net-lease tenant repositioning Lease Structure: Triple-Net (NNN); tenant responsible for taxes, insurance and maintenance SECOND-GENERATION DRIVE-THRU INFRASTRUCTURE The site offers a fully equipped, plug-and-play operational base. Existing infrastructure includes a commercial kitchen with 3 hoods complete with ansul fire suppression systems and black iron, 4 walk-in coolers and freezers, multiple grease traps, the original drive-thru lane with proper stacking depth and a complete parking field. For drive-thru operators evaluating Chicago infill sites, this configuration eliminates an estimated $200,000 to $400,000 in tenant improvement costs typically required to construct a new drive-thru lane and equip a full QSR kitchen. The result is a materially compressed lease-execution timeline and the ability to open faster than a ground-up alternative in the same trade area. 79TH STREET CORRIDOR POSITIONING 79th Street is a recognized commercial spine serving the broader Auburn Gresham, Gresham and Chatham trade areas, with consistent retail traffic patterns across the daytime and evening dayparts. The subject property benefits from strong corridor visibility, signalized intersection access supporting clean ingress & egress and direct exposure to the surrounding co-tenancy and trade-area generators. Notable nearby retail includes the Auburn Gresham Healthy Hub, anchored by Bank of America and UI Health, which represents active institutional investment in the corridor. A Dunkin' location operates at 207 W 79th Street, with a Burger King approximately 0.8 miles away and a Popeyes approximately 1.3 miles away. The corridor's established mix of national QSR, banking and healthcare retail confirms durable demand for drive-thru-dependent uses on this stretch of 79th Street. CVS recently closed its large-format Auburn Gresham store and is actively redeploying small-format pharmacy locations across the South Side, reinforcing the relevance of the subject site to current national pharmacy site-selection programs. HIGHEST AND BEST USE The highest and best use of the property is continued drive-thru restaurant operation. Site geometry, lane configuration, parking complement and signage exposure on 79th St align directly with the site-selection criteria of national and regional QSR brands actively pursuing Chicago infill locations. Alternative drive-thru-dependent uses supported by the existing configuration include dedicated coffee concepts, drive-thru pharmacy, drive-thru urgent care, dialysis and primary-care medical retail, drive-thru banking and convenience-store redevelopment. The drive-thru-configured building also supports the growing roster of fast-casual operators prioritizing off-premise and digital order channels. LEASE STRUCTURE The property is offered on a long-term NNN lease structure. Targeted lease term is 7 to 10 years for national and regional credit tenants, with renewal options available. Negotiable subject to tenant credit, proposed use, and lease length. For tour scheduling and due-diligence materials, contact the listing broker.
