381 Illinois 121 Listing Brief

  • A property’s location contributes to the asking rent almost as much as its characteristics do. For instance, central urban locations with high walkability or suburban locations with ample parking and easy access by car will claim higher rents but offer superior access to your customer base. Likewise, the quality of the building systems and property finishes have a significant impact on how businesses can conduct their activity there, as well as on the experience of their customers.

    The rent for retail space at 381 Illinois 121 is available upon request. Feel free to reach out using the contact form conveniently included on this page to find out more about what the property can offer for your business.

  • The property includes 2,366 square feet of retail space for lease. Of this total, 480 square feet are Street Retail, 1,886 square feet are Restaurant.

  • You should keep in mind that different areas gradually build a reputation as hotspots or desirable corridors for shopping, eating, or other entertainment and consumer activities. So, while renting retail space in an area with a well-established high-end reputation might mean more customers that are more willing to spend, it will also place you in a more competitive environment.
