41 E University Avenue Champaign, IL 61820

The historic Illinois Traction Building, located in downtown Champaign, offers high visibility and traffic. Constructed in 1913 and designed by architect Joseph Royer in the Contemporary Commercial Style, the building features large windows providing natural light and city views. Originally housing railway offices and serving as the Champaign interurban station until 1936, it later housed the offices of the Illinois Power Company. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. This stand-alone building offers a blend of retail, residential, and office space, along with off-street parking. The west side features an outdoor paved space currently used for parking, but it could be transformed into an outdoor patio or dining area with access to the first floor. The Illinois Terminal hub, across Market Street to the east, serves as a major transfer point for local mass transit, inter-city bus service, and Amtrak passenger service. The location also provides access to the University of Illinois with over 55,000 students. Downtown Champaign features restaurants, microbreweries, pubs, and a cultural and arts scene. The area includes mixed-use properties and multi-family developments, creating a residential population that combines with daytime employment, establishing a customer and client base for businesses. The property size is 22052 square feet.
