Description
This exceptional three-story, 25,371 square-foot R&D building in Chicago's West Loop offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern adaptability. Situated on a 9,000 square-foot lot, the property boasts 12'10" to 12'3" ceiling heights, one loading dock, and a DS-3 zoning permit. Its prime location provides immediate access to major expressways, public transit (including a 5-minute walk to the CTA Blue Line), and numerous amenities, including parks, restaurants, and major transportation hubs like Ogilvie and Union Station. The building's adaptive reuse potential, coupled with its location in a thriving area experiencing significant population growth (155% since 2022) and high median income ($138,000), presents a compelling investment opportunity. The property benefits from its location within an Enterprise Zone, Central West TIF District, and a TOD (Transit Oriented Development) area, maximizing development potential. With precedent for high FAR (Floor Area Ratio) and bonus FAR programs, this site is scalable for ground-up development, offering significant upside for future expansion. The area's robust job market (966,388 jobs accessible within 30 minutes) and high transit score (9.73/10) further enhance its desirability. Built in 1900, this irreplaceable brick and heavy timber structure offers a unique character, while its zoning allows for significant expansion, making it an ideal investment for developers and businesses seeking a prominent location in a rapidly growing area of Chicago. The property's APN is 17.17.224.020.000.
