The available 2,916 SF ground-floor suite benefits from immediate visibility and foot traffic, thanks to its adjacency to the Metra Station and proximity to major thoroughfares including I-90 and I-294. The Welkin’s expansive indoor and outdoor amenity spaces—12,000 SF and 23,000 SF respectively—create a vibrant, built-in customer base for retail, medical, fitness, or dining concepts.
The surrounding area is a dynamic mix of residential and office buildings, ensuring steady daytime and evening activity. With a daytime population of over 236,000 within a five-mile radius and an average household income exceeding $144,000, the demographics support a wide range of service and retail uses. Co-tenancy in the area includes national brands such as Dunkin’, Potbelly, McDonald’s, and Wingstop, reinforcing the location’s appeal for consumer-facing businesses.
This space is ideally suited for tenants seeking high visibility, strong demographics, and seamless connectivity to Chicago and the northwest suburbs.
