Overview

This one-story greystone and brick retail building is configured with six storefronts. The property is currently income-producing with four established tenants in place, while two storefronts are vacant. Tenants are responsible for all utilities except water. There are four separate pin numbers, and the offering is sold “as is” condition. The building needs a new roof, which should be factored into any plans for occupancy or updates.

Located in Chicago’s Chatham business district, the property offers approximately 100 feet of frontage along Cottage Grove Avenue. Vehicle access and parking are available at the rear of the building, with 12+ spaces provided for tenants and customers.

For owner-users or retail operators looking for a mix of current income and leasing upside, the vacant storefronts may allow for targeted tenant placement. The rear parking and straightforward storefront layout can support a range of neighborhood-serving retail uses, subject to zoning and any applicable approvals under COMMR zoning. Four separate pin numbers may also be relevant for buyers evaluating ownership and management structure.
