Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This freestanding, single-tenant restaurant property provides an approximately 2,119-square-foot building with an existing restaurant build-out and some equipment in place. The building was constructed in 1989 and is currently vacant, allowing for immediate lease-up.

Positioned on its own parcel along IL Route 38, the property offers a standalone storefront and direct street presence rather than a shared strip-center setting. Its location in DeKalb places it within a Northern Illinois University college town and along the area's primary east-west commercial corridor.

The existing improvements can support a restaurant re-concept or new operating format without starting with an unfinished shell. The freestanding configuration also gives the occupant control over its storefront presentation and branding.

Key Highlights

  • Approximately 2,119 SF restaurant building
  • Freestanding, single‑tenant property on its own parcel
  • Existing restaurant build‑out with some equipment in place
