Property Description

518-522 S Western Avenue is a rare 3-parcel assemblage totaling 6,132 SF strategically positioned within one of Chicago's most dynamic and rapidly evolving corridors, benefiting directly from the transformational growth surrounding the United Center and the multi-billion-dollar 1901 Project. This large-scale redevelopment will introduce new residential density, retail, hospitality, entertainment venues, and activated public spaces, fundamentally reshaping the immediate area and driving sustained increases in foot traffic, consumer demand, and long-term property values along the Western Avenue corridor. The surrounding neighborhood continues to experience meaningful mixed-use and residential new developments, reinforcing its transition toward higher-density, transit-oriented growth. Ongoing land sales and redevelopment activity in the immediate vicinity further validate investor confidence and signal continued capital inflow into the submarket. The property's mixed-use positioning and zoning capacity, allowing for up to 15 residential units above a retail unit, creates a highly flexible opportunity to capitalize on this growth trajectory. The site is well-suited for a thoughtfully designed mixed use redevelopment that leverages strong residential demand driven by proximity to the Illinois Medical District, surrounding employment hubs, and expanding neighborhood amenities. Simultaneously, its prominent Western Avenue frontage, strong traffic counts, and existing outdoor space provide the ability to incorporate a highly visible retail or restaurant component that benefits from daily workforce demand and event-driven traffic from the United Center.

Explore Tri Taylor

A mere mention of the words “Taylor Street” and many native Chicagoans will be instantly transported to their first childhood memories of basil, marinara sauce, and homemade pasta. A destination for Italian immigrants (and throngs of others) since the city's inception, the triangular boundaries of the Tri-Taylor neighborhood are centered about Taylor Street in Chicago's near west side. Tri-Taylor's nineteenth century row houses are a glimpse back in time that still provide valuable living space today. New condo buildings have sprouted up, too, creating a beautifully blended combination of vintage design and modern residences. A far cry from its earlier days when Italian ristorantes ruled the streets, Tri-Taylor offers 21st century conveniences with everything from fast food favorites to Internet cafés.
