Chicago Retail for Lease - South Chicago

FOR LEASE: 1102 W 18th Street – Flagship 18th Street Corridor Retail | Pilsen, Chicago KW Commercial is pleased to present the opportunity to lease a premier ±1,500 SF retail storefront located at 1102 W 18th Street in the heart of Chicago’s iconic 18th Street Corridor in Pilsen. 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. NEIGHBORHOOD ANCHOR: THALIA HALL: - Located just steps from historic Thalia Hall, one of Pilsen’s premier cultural venues. - Constructed in 1892 and designated a Chicago Landmark, now operating as a fully restored performance hall. - Venue capacity of up to eight hundred guests, generating high year-round foot traffic. - Hosts concerts, comedy shows, and private events, drawing visitors from across the city and region. - The hall’s restaurant, bar, and adjacent Tack Room piano bar create continuous day-to-night corridor activation.

Chicago Retail for Lease - Northwest City

FREESTANDING AUTO SHOP - THREE BAYS - AUTO REPAIR AND INDOOR SALES PERMITTED BY RIGHT - HUMBOLDT PARK Freestanding 1,600 SF automotive building on a corner double lot at 3800 W Division Street in Humboldt Park. Three service bays, customer waiting room, reception area, private office and surface parking. Available immediately. AUTO USE IS PERMITTED BY RIGHT - NO HEARING REQUIRED The property is zoned B3-1. Under the Chicago Zoning Ordinance, Motor Vehicle Repair Shop (excluding body work, painting and commercial vehicle repair) and Light Equipment Sales and Rental, Indoor (auto, motorcycle and boat sales) are both permitted by right in the B3 district. Auto Supply and Accessory Sales is also permitted by right. That means a mechanic, repair shop, tire shop, detailing business or indoor dealership can open here without a special use hearing, without a Zoning Board of Appeals appearance, and without the delay those add. In a city where finding a legal automotive location is the hardest part of the search, that matters more than anything else in this listing. The Alderman has separately indicated support for car dealership use at this property. THE BUILDING 1,600 SF freestanding, built 1930, on a corner double lot. Three service bays already in place. Customer waiting room and reception area at the front. Private office. Central air conditioning. Surface parking on site. The building is configured and operating as an automotive facility today - no conversion, no bay construction, no permitting a use change. WHAT A TENANT SAVES Converting a retail or industrial shell into a three-bay shop means overhead doors, drainage, ventilation, lifts, compressed air, a customer-facing front of house, and a permit process for each. That work runs well into six figures and months of downtime. This building is finished and operating. A tenant moves equipment in and opens. TERMS $5,000 per month. Terms from 1 to 10 years. Available immediately. LOCATION 3800 W Division Street at the corner, Humboldt Park, Chicago. Division Street is a primary east-west commercial artery through the West Side with heavy daily traffic and strong local density.

South Elgin Land for Lease - Far Northwest

BUILD-TO-SUIT GROUND LEASE - 0.80 ACRES ON ROUTE 31 - SOUTH ELGIN - 50-YEAR TERM AVAILABLE Rare development pad on Route 31 (N La Fox St) in South Elgin, zoned B-1 Gateway Business District. 0.80 acres of raw, unencumbered land in an established commercial corridor, directly adjacent to a 200-unit apartment community. Ownership is prepared to build to suit and will consider terms up to 50 years. OWNERSHIP WILL BUILD This is not a take-it-as-is dirt lease. Ownership wants a project and will construct a building to a tenant's specifications and program. Bring the concept, the prototype, or the plan set. That removes the single largest barrier for any operator who wants a purpose-built location in this corridor but does not want to carry construction risk or tie up capital in real estate. TERM Up to 50 years. A term of that length supports franchise financing, SBA structures, corporate real estate committees, and any operator amortizing fixtures and equipment over a long horizon. Shorter terms considered. WHY B-1 GATEWAY BUSINESS IS THE ADVANTAGE South Elgin's B-1 District is the Village's gateway commercial corridor, and its development standards are unusually permissive for a suburban district: Maximum lot coverage 80% Zero minimum setback on all four sides - front, rear, corner side, and interior side Maximum building height 50 feet Parking permitted in the rear, interior side, corner side, OR front yard Minimum lot area 10,000 SF - this site is over three times that On 34,848 SF at 80% coverage, a tenant can build substantial square footage with flexible siting and front-yard parking. Restaurant, retail, medical, professional office, daycare, financial, hospitality, and entertainment uses are permitted by right - no special use hearing, no approval gate, no 90-day delay. Note the design requirements: front facade must occupy at least 50% of the street frontage, maximum front setback is 73 feet, ground-story street-facing facades require 60% transparency between 2 and 8 feet above grade, and the principal entrance faces the front or corner side. These standards produce a street-presenting building - good for any customer-facing operator. DEMAND A 200-unit apartment community sits immediately adjacent. Rooftops at that density, on a Route 31 commercial frontage, in a district zoned for retail and service, is the profile quick-service restaurants, coffee, daycare, dental, medical, and convenience operators underwrite against. LOCATION N La Fox St (Illinois Route 31), South Elgin, Kane County. Route 31 is the primary north-south commercial spine through the Fox River Valley, connecting South Elgin to Elgin, St. Charles, Geneva, and Batavia. Minutes to Route 25, McLean Boulevard, Randall Road, and Route 20. Serves South Elgin, Elgin, Bartlett, Wayne, St. Charles, Campton Hills and the greater Fox Valley.
