1000 E 47Th St Chicago, IL 60653

The St. Ambrose Church campus offers a rare opportunity to acquire a religious and educational complex in Chicago’s Kenwood neighborhood. The property, located at 1000–1012 E. 47th Street, is comprised of three buildings totaling approximately 48,700 square feet on a 58,770 square foot lot. The campus includes a 17,300 square foot sanctuary and gathering spaces, an 11,360 square foot rectory with private living quarters and ground-level meeting rooms, and a 20,040 square foot former school building offering classroom wings and assembly halls. The rectory and school both feature full basements suitable for archival storage, mechanical systems, or finished community rooms. Secure, off-street parking is available behind the school, with additional spaces directly off 47th Street. The property is located four blocks from the Lake Michigan shoreline, offering access to parks and trails. It is also steps from the CTA #47 and #6 bus routes and less than a mile from the Metra Electric Line’s 51st Street station, providing access to downtown Chicago and Hyde Park. The property is positioned for congregational use or adaptive reuse, such as a campus for nonprofit programming, a boutique office and event venue, or a mixed-use redevelopment with residential lofts and street-level retail.
