Positioned along the high-visibility Roosevelt Road corridor, this 1.44-acre development site offers one of West Chicago’s most compelling mixed-use opportunities. The property sits within the B-2 zoning district, which supports a flexible blend of commercial and residential uses, making it ideal for a modern, walkable community concept.
The site already benefits from existing utilities, curb and gutter, street access, and some underground work completed, reducing both time and cost to bring a project to market.
With strong traffic counts, proximity to Metra, and easy access to surrounding DuPage County employment centers, the location is perfectly suited for a neighborhood-serving retail component paired with high-demand residential units. Roosevelt Road continues to attract new investment, and West Chicago’s limited supply of new construction rentals makes this site especially attractive for developers seeking long-term income or build-to-sell strategies.
Mixed-Use Development Potential
A concept plan has been prepared illustrating the site’s ability to support a vibrant mixed-use community, including:
• Three (3) street-facing retail units
Perfect for café, boutique, service retail, or neighborhood commercial tenants seeking visibility and easy access.
• Four (4) residential condos above or adjacent to retail
Ideal for owner-occupants or rental inventory, offering modern layouts and strong absorption potential.
• Twelve (12) new-construction townhomes
Highly desirable in West Chicago’s undersupplied rental and for-sale market. Townhomes in this submarket command premium rents and attract long-term, stable residents.
This configuration creates a balanced income stream, diversified tenancy, and a community-oriented layout that aligns with current suburban demand trends.
