This ±0.86-acre, four-parcel assemblage is located on South La Grange Road at its intersection with 6th Avenue, near Plainfield Road, in La Grange, Illinois. The offering combines 1041 & 1043 S. La Grange Rd. and 1046 & 1050 6th Ave. into a single, fully assembled redevelopment site.
South La Grange Road is a state-maintained arterial carrying approximately 24,400 vehicles per day, substantially higher than the surrounding cross streets. The corridor sits within the study area of the Village of La Grange's South La Grange Road Corridor Plan, an advisory planning document prepared with the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) and presented to the Village Board on July 13, 2026. That Plan has not been formally adopted by the Village, and the corridor is not included among the specific redevelopment opportunity sites identified elsewhere in Village planning documents; it is referenced here only as market and planning context, not as evidence of Village endorsement.
The two La Grange Road-facing parcels are zoned C-3 (General Service Commercial) and are currently improved with a triplex and a duplex, both occupied. The two 6th Avenue parcels are zoned R-4 (Single-Family Residential) and are each improved with a single-family detached rental home, also occupied. Combined, the four structures total approximately 6,030 SF across 7 residential units. Residential use on the C-3-zoned parcels predates that zoning designation and continues as a legal nonconforming use.
The assembled site's size and configuration are what allow it to be evaluated against a Village design guideline discussed in the Corridor Plan, which calls for parking on new development to be sited at the side or rear of the building rather than the front - a standard the record indicates a single, unassembled parcel on this corridor would likely be unable to meet independently. An engineered concept site plan prepared by Jacob & Hefner Associates (Concept Site Plan 3, dated 3/27/2026) demonstrates a 7,200 SF commercial building with on-site parking and an underground stormwater detention system sized to MWRD and Village standards. This concept has not been submitted to or reviewed by the Village, and should not be read as reflecting Village approval of any specific design element, including the site plan's treatment of a platted alley the parking layout appears to cross.
Beyond the engineered commercial concept, the site is being marketed for consideration of a smaller, ±3,000 SF single-tenant drive-thru concept on an alternative, unengineered footprint, and for a mixed-use concept combining ground-floor commercial space with residential units above - consistent with concepts discussed in the Corridor Plan, though not an approved or entitled program.
Redevelopment of any kind requires rezoning of the two 6th Avenue parcels from residential to commercial, and a drive-thru use would additionally require a discretionary Special Use Permit from the Village. No formal application has been submitted as of this listing, and the Village has not indicated a position on any specific concept.
The corridor's demographic profile, per the Corridor Plan's market study, shows household income above the village-wide average, and retail rents on the corridor have risen from $15.00 to $17.96 per square foot between 2019 and 2024, alongside rising vacancy - a combination the study characterizes as a possible demand signal for the corridor's remaining space.
A full underwriting package, including civil engineering plans, zoning analysis, comparable sales data, and market data, is available to qualified buyers upon request.
