Essex Three-Twelve is exclusively engaged in the sale of 5337-5353 W Devon Avenue, a 10,683 square foot, seven-unit retail strip center in the Edgebrook neighborhood of Chicago. Six of seven suites are occupied by a diversified mix of service, food-and-beverage, and fitness tenants on leases extending through 2027 and 2028. All leases are structured on a net basis, with tenants responsible for their pro-rata share of real estate taxes, insurance, and operating expenses, a landlord-favorable structure that significantly reduces ownership costs and provides exceptional income predictability.
At current occupancy, the property generates an NOI of $83,346, reflecting a going-in cap rate of 4.76%. The sole vacancy, a 2,400 SF suite with a projected market rent of $17.00/SF, is the single lever required to achieve full stabilization. Upon lease-up, NOI is projected to grow 66% to $138,687, driving a stabilized cap rate of 7.92%, a cash-on-cash return of 7.09%, and a debt coverage ratio of 1.56x.
Devon Avenue is a well-established, high-traffic retail corridor serving a dense and affluent residential base. The B3-1 zoning accommodates the broadest range of retail and service uses, providing maximum flexibility in lease-up strategy. For investors seeking a predominantly stabilized retail asset with an executable path to enhanced yield, 5353 W Devon Avenue presents a compelling opportunity in the Chicago North Side market.
