FOR LEASE: 3411 N Milwaukee Ave?Chicago, IL 60641 ±1,400 SF | Prime Retail / Office Storefront Property Overview KW Commercial is pleased to offer for lease a 1,400 square foot retail storefront located along the highly recognizable Milwaukee Avenue commercial corridor in Chicago’s Northwest Side. The space was most recently operated as a hair salon, creating a second-generation commercial layout that offers meaningful infrastructure advantages for incoming users. This wide, open, and highly functional space features approximately 12-foot ceiling heights, an efficient rectangular configuration, and large front-facing windows spanning the storefront façade, providing exceptional natural light, strong visibility, and an inviting street presence. The prior salon use supports faster occupancy timelines and reduced upfront buildout costs for service-based operators, while the open layout allows for easy reconfiguration for retail, wellness, or professional office concepts. Second-Generation Value (Former Salon Use) - The previous hair salon use enhances leasing efficiency by offering: - Existing utility capacity and service infrastructure - Layout compatibility for personal care, wellness, and service operators - Faster permitting and buildout potential for similar-use tenants - Cost savings versus raw vanilla-box construction - Strong suitability for salon, med-spa, wellness, therapy, and studio concepts This creates a strategic advantage for operators seeking a turnkey or semi-turnkey environment with reduced time-to-revenue. Location & Corridor Highlights? Positioned along Milwaukee Avenue, one of Chicago’s most established and heavily trafficked commercial corridors, the property benefits from long-term city investment, consistent vehicular traffic, and strong neighborhood-serving demand. Milwaukee Avenue is known for its blend of local businesses, service-oriented retail, and growing commercial reinvestment, making it a dependable location for operators seeking sustained exposure. The property is located near the Irving Park / Kilbourn Park area, surrounded by stable residential density that supports daily-use businesses, personal services, and appointment-based concepts. CTA Bus Service: The CTA #56 Milwaukee bus route runs directly along Milwaukee Avenue with stops within a short walk of the property. This route provides local connectivity across Chicago’s north and northwest side, linking to other major streets and transit connections along the corridor. Additional nearby CTA bus service includes Route 152, which also serves portions of Milwaukee Avenue near the site. CTA ‘L’ Service: The closest rapid transit access is the CTA Blue Line, with the Irving Park station approximately an 18-minute walk from the property. The Blue Line provides frequent service between O’Hare International Airport and downtown Chicago, offering direct access to the Loop and major employment centers. Metra Commuter Rail: Metra service on the Milwaukee District/North Line is available nearby at the Grayland station, just a few minutes’ walk west of the site. This commuter rail line connects the Northwest Side with Union Station downtown, supporting longer-distance commuters and reverse-commute traffic. Why This Matters for Leasing Customer access: Multiple bus stops along Milwaukee Avenue ensure ease of access for walk-in customers and workforce transit riders. Employee convenience: Proximity to regional rail (Metra) and rapid transit (Blue Line) expands your tenant’s potential labor pool from across the city and suburbs. Enhanced visibility: Transit routes running directly on Milwaukee Avenue increase pedestrian exposure and repeat ridership visibility. Area Momentum & Economic Drivers The broader submarket is experiencing continued commercial and residential investment, driven in part by the nearby Six Corners redevelopment, including major adaptive reuse projects, new residential units, and national retail anchors. This momentum has helped attract both regional and national tenants to the area, reinforcing Milwaukee Avenue’s role as a key neighborhood-serving retail spine. The location also benefits from strong transit accessibility, with convenient access to CTA and Metra service, supporting both employee commutes and customer draw from surrounding neighborhoods. Ideal Uses: - Salon / beauty concepts - Med-spa / wellness operators - Fitness or studio concepts - Boutique retail - Professional or creative office - Therapy / medical office (subject to zoning/use approval) - Showroom-style retail With its second-generation salon infrastructure, high ceilings, abundant natural light, strong corridor identity, and surrounding investment activity, 3411 N Milwaukee Ave presents a compelling opportunity for tenants seeking a high-visibility, efficient, and flexible storefront with reduced buildout friction in a proven Milwaukee Avenue retail corridor.
