PREMIER HYBRID EXPERIENTAL RESTAURANTS & CLOUD KITCHENS
New Construction | Trophy Corner | Chicago–Evanston Gateway
Positioned at the highly trafficked trophy corner of Howard Avenue and Ridge Avenue, forming the gateway and physical demarcation between Chicago and Evanston, this new-construction, purpose-built culinary asset represents the next generation of restaurant real estate.
This project transcends the definition of a traditional ghost kitchen and exceeds the functionality of a basic cloud kitchen. The asset is best described as a Hybrid Cloud Kitchen & Experiential Restaurant Hub — a dual-level, vertically integrated food campus combining flagship, customer-facing restaurants at grade level with a fully built, technology-enabled cloud kitchen platform at the lower level.
Unlike delivery-only facilities, this property supports:
- Full brick-and-mortar restaurant operations
- On-site dining and outdoor patio seating
- Customer pickup and third-party delivery
- Technology-driven ordering and brand visibility
- Multi-brand scaling within a single asset
- On-Site Parking
This is a flagship + production model, not a back-of-house warehouse kitchen.
Designed for national credit tenants, emerging restaurant brands, and multi-unit operators, the property enables operators to maximize brand exposure, operational efficiency, and multi-channel revenue generation within one institutional-quality platform.

2201 West Howard Street 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 2201 West Howard Street 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 6,600 square feet of retail space for lease. Of this total, 6,600 square feet are Retail.
Lease agreement conditions for the availability at this property include NNN.

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.
