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.
