OVERVIEW

1.01-ACRE TOD REDEVELOPMENT CORNER - NORTHWEST HWY & KENSINGTON - ARLINGTON HEIGHTS - $2,500,000 Hard corner redevelopment site in Arlington Heights with income in place and a clear path to full vacancy. 1.01 acres at the signalized intersection of E Northwest Highway (Route 14) and Kensington Road, walking distance to the Arlington Heights Metra station on the Union Pacific Northwest Line and to Downtown Arlington Heights. THE OPPORTUNITY This is a rare combination: a full-block corner in a village actively approving transit-oriented density, with a delivered comparable one block away, and every lease on the property rolling within a twelve-month window. A buyer takes control now, entitles through 2027, and delivers a vacant site by mid-2028 without buying out a single tenant. SITE 1.01 acres (approximately 44,000 SF). 200 feet of frontage on Kensington Road. 198 feet on the east line. Corner exposure to both Northwest Highway and Kensington Road with signalized access. Single tax parcel, single ownership. Adjacent to the Metra Union Pacific Northwest Line right-of-way; the small side spur on the north edge is inactive. EXISTING IMPROVEMENTS 12,027 SF one-story brick and glass building, 20 feet in height, plus approximately 6,000 SF of basement - roughly 18,000 SF gross. Built 1966 and configured as three ground-floor bays of approximately 4,000 SF each with display-window frontage on Northwest Highway. Purpose-built and continuously operated as automotive since construction. INCOME IN PLACE - $181,200 PER YEAR Three tenants carry the property through the entitlement period: 670 E Northwest Hwy - used auto sales - $4,500/month - expires 5/31/2027 668 E Northwest Hwy - auto repair - $6,100/month - expires 6/1/2028 660 E Northwest Hwy - oil change and detailing - $4,500/month - expires 6/1/2028 No purchase options, no renewal options exercised, no relocation negotiations required. 2024 real estate taxes: $58,838. THE COMPARABLE - FOUR NORTH Four North at 4 N Hickory Avenue delivered in 2024 one block from this site: 76 units across 5 stories, 3,816 SF of ground-floor commercial, 80 indoor and 32 outdoor parking spaces. Unit mix of 8 studios, 45 one-bedrooms and 23 two-bedrooms. Current asking rents run approximately $1,700 to $3,100 per month. The density, the format, and the absorption are already proven on this corridor. At 76 units, this site prices between $26,300 and $32,900 per door across the offering range - well inside the Chicago suburban multifamily land band. VILLAGE POSTURE Arlington Heights is actively approving mixed-use and transit-oriented development. Village staff have expressed support for a ground-floor commercial use with residential above on this site, consistent with the Four North model. Buyer should confirm all entitlement expectations directly with the Village of Arlington Heights Department of Planning and Community Development. CURRENT ZONING - B-3 The site is zoned B-3, General Service, Wholesale and Motor Vehicle District, under Arlington Heights Municipal Code Chapter 28, Section 5.1-12. Motor vehicle sales, service and repair are permitted uses in B-3 - the existing tenancy is conforming, not legal nonconforming, and the income stream carries no discontinuance risk if entitlement takes time. Residential development will require a zoning map amendment or planned development approval. Buyer to verify all zoning, permitted uses and entitlement requirements independently with the Village. Broker makes no representation as to approvability of any use or density. LOCATION E Northwest Highway (Route 14) at Kensington Road, Arlington Heights, Cook County.
