Waukegan Land for Sale - Far North

1.5-ACRE COMMERCIAL CORNER — GREEN BAY ROAD (IL 131) & BROOKSIDE AVE — B3 GENERAL COMMERCIAL — WAUKEGAN — $600,000 Commercial development land at the corner of Green Bay Road (Illinois Route 131) and Brookside Avenue in Waukegan — approximately 1.5 acres across a four-parcel assemblage with roughly 394 feet of Green Bay Road frontage and about 25,600 vehicles per day on the corridor. Zoned B3 General Commercial under Waukegan's new Unified Development Ordinance — the district written for exactly this: auto-oriented commercial development serving the city and surrounding communities along major arterial roads. Retail, restaurant, office, financial and service development are permitted by right — and so are drive-through facilities, which most towns push through a hearing. WHY THIS SITE WORKS Waukegan is the county seat and most populous city in Lake County, and arterial corner acreage inside the city limits is finite. A signalized-corridor corner with nearly 400 feet of state-route frontage fits a drive-through pad (by right in B3), a multi-tenant retail building, a freestanding restaurant, a bank branch, or a professional building serving the city's dense residential base. Conditional-use paths open the site to automotive sales and service, gas station, car wash, hotel or day care formats. Priced at $600,000 — land economics with development upside as Waukegan's revitalization investment continues. THE SITE Approximately 1.5 acres (four contiguous tax parcels). Corner position: ~394' of frontage on Green Bay Rd (IL 131) plus ~300' on Brookside Ave. Approximately 25,600 VPD on the Green Bay Road corridor. Buyer to verify boundaries, utilities, access permits, existing site conditions and all entitlements in due diligence. LOCATION Green Bay Road (IL 131) is one of Waukegan's primary north-south arterials, connecting the city's west-side commercial corridors to North Chicago, Zion and the Wisconsin line. The site draws from Waukegan's dense surrounding neighborhoods — Lake County's largest population base — with I-94 and Route 41 access connecting to the entire Chicago-Milwaukee corridor, Metra commuter rail service, and an active lakefront redevelopment initiative bringing new public and private investment to the city.

Chicago Retail for Sale - Northwest City

This premium investment opportunity presents a turnkey banquet hall and established business, including the underlying real estate. Spanning 5,300 square feet, the property has undergone an extensive renovation down to the studs to offer a refined, modern aesthetic throughout. The building infrastructure is entirely updated with all-new HVAC units, a brand-new flat roof, and upgraded electrical and plumbing systems. Designed for maximum versatility, the space is a staple for private parties and community events alike. The intelligent layout can be divided to accommodate two separate parties simultaneously, with both the front and rear sections of the venue featuring their own private wet bars. Guests will appreciate the contemporary styling, five flat-screen televisions, and elegantly designed facilities, including a dedicated employee bathroom, a four-stall women's restroom, and a two-stall men's restroom with all-new fixtures. While the venue is currently a sought-after destination for weekend rentals, significant upside potential exists to maximize profit. A new owner could expand operations by booking weekday events or utilizing the high-capacity commercial kitchen as a restaurant or "ghost kitchen" during non-event hours. The kitchen is fully prepared for high-volume operations, featuring a walk-in cooler, walk-in freezer, commercial stove, grill, deep fryer, and exhaust fan. Additional assets include a heating table, dishwasher, and a complete inventory of china, tableware, and server ware. The venue is move-in ready with 25 tables and approximately 130 chairs. Conveniently located, the property offers five private parking spaces at the rear with an abundance of public parking directly in front. With ongoing bookings already on the calendar, this is an exceptional chance to acquire a fully modernized facility designed for immediate and scalable success.

Wedding Venues

What is a wedding venue?

A wedding venue is typically a large building, or sometimes an open-air site, that is available for weddings and wedding receptions. These venues are typically all in one solution for your wedding with a large ballroom or banquet hall. Often the entire property is yours to use for your wedding.

Weddings continue in popularity around the world and there is a growing market for venues that can provide you with a complete service from ceremony to dinner to dancing all under one roof.

What types of wedding venues can purchase?

There are several types of properties that can be wedding venues that you could buy, including:

  • - Country Club
  • - Castle or Manor House
  • - Small exclusive Hotel with ballroom and restaurant facilities
  • - Boutique hotel with wedding facilities
  • - Private Mansion House
  • - Exclusive vacation resort or retreat
  • - Historic site
  • - Anything in between

Typically, zoning regulations and capacity limits may limit the number of people on property, so make sure to check with your local broker to get more information.

What is the difference between a wedding venue and a banquet hall?

A banquet hall is typically a large space for holding catered events, like weddings or conventions. A wedding venue on the other hand, is not just a big room capable of seating lots of people. Wedding venues are typically complete packages with all the amenities you need for a wedding. Wedding venues also specialize in just weddings so they have the expertise to provide everything a wedding needs.

What should be considered when purchasing a wedding venue?

Location: Ensure that there is proper demand for the area and that the actual location is accessible during as much time of the year as possible.

Capacity: Be sure that your venue will accommodate the number of guests you plan to be able to handle.

Amenities: Ensure that the venue has all the amenities you are looking for. This includes space for a dance floor, proper commercial kitchen, grounds for outdoor portions of the wedding, and accommodations for the bridal party.

Facilities: Carefully consider what types of event can be hosted at your proposed location. Focusing on just weddings is a specific business decision, but having flexibility in your facilities may allow for additional revenue during less popular times of the year.

What other considerations are there when purchasing a wedding venue?

Insurance, taxes, and cost of utilities are other factors to keep in mind as wedding venues work year-round and should accommodate all kinds of weather and timing of events.

Many people who are interested in purchasing a wedding venue have already run other types of businesses like a restaurant or catering service. This may be particularly helpful when considering buying a wedding venue since you already understand what it takes to run a business in that service industry.

Reach out to a local broker to get a better understanding of the market for wedding venues in your area.
