1870 S Blue Island Ave, Chicago, IL 60608

The property is a three-story, approximately 12,300-square-foot masonry building constructed in 1899 and originally developed as a physician’s clinic. The ground floor included a reception area and patient waiting room, while the second floor was subdivided into individual examination rooms, each with its own sink. The third floor currently functions as an extra-large owner’s residence, demonstrating the building’s adaptability across uses. The building has been modernized with updated building systems, preserving the authenticity of its masonry character while improving readiness for conversion.

Located in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood, the property is delivered vacant and free of long-term encumbrances, providing a clean starting point for redevelopment. The C1-2 (Neighborhood Commercial) zoning designation offers flexibility for a mixed-use program, including ground-floor retail or commercial uses alongside upper-floor residential. The building’s configuration and generous floor plates support a conversion that can be tailored to the buyer’s program and local requirements.

For developers and investors, the asset’s durable masonry construction and flexible layout make it well suited to repositioning into market-rate residential units, with an option to incorporate street-level commercial use in alignment with C1-2. The development program remains at the buyer’s discretion, supported by zoning flexibility that can help optimize the overall mixed-use concept.
