MoHall Commercial presents a premier commercial leasing opportunity in Chicago’s Bronzeville neighborhood. 5010–5020 S. State Street is a freestanding property offering 17,749 square feet of flexible space, including a ground floor with soaring 16–19 ft. clear heights and a mezzanine plumbed for additional facilities. The building’s B3-2 zoning (Community Shopping District) supports a wide variety of uses—from retail, offices, and medical services to warehouse/distribution, showrooms, fitness centers, auto services, and even mixed-use residential development. Originally built as a supermarket, the property features an expansive open floor plan, four separate entrances/exits, brand-new ADA-compliant restrooms, and the infrastructure national credit tenants demand.
This rare 1+ acre site also provides dedicated parking for approximately 60 vehicles, an extraordinary advantage for tenants requiring high visibility and easy access. Located just blocks from the Dan Ryan Expressway (I-90/94), the property offers exceptional regional connectivity for both commuters and logistics users. The site is also accessible by public transit, with CTA Red Line and Green Line stations within walking distance. State Street itself is a high-traffic commercial corridor, with an estimated 21,000 vehicles passing the property each day, creating unmatched exposure for signage and branding. The property is located in Chicago’s Ward 03, represented by Alderman Pat Dowell, an area benefiting from significant City investment and access to incentive programs such as Tax Increment Financing (TIF), the Small Business Improvement Fund (SBIF), and the INVEST South/West initiative.
The surrounding Bronzeville community is in the midst of a historic renaissance, with transformative projects shaping the area’s future. The multi-phase Legends South development is redeveloping the former Robert Taylor Homes into one of Chicago’s largest mixed-income communities, delivering thousands of new homes and retail amenities. Just north, the $3.8 billion Bronzeville Lakefront mega-project will bring up to 7 million square feet of new commercial, research, retail, and residential space, generating more than 20,000 jobs. These projects are driving a surge in local population, workforce, and consumer spending power—making this site a strategic opportunity for national tenants looking to anchor their presence in a high-growth corridor.
Offered at a highly competitive lease rate of $12/SF NNN, 5010–5020 S. State Street delivers the perfect balance of scale, flexibility, and market momentum. With its strong zoning, modern upgrades, abundant parking, and proximity to transformative developments, this property is primed to become the next flagship destination in Bronzeville’s resurgence.
