Description

North Elston Plaza is a multi-tenant commercial building of approximately 85,300 square feet on North Elston Avenue in Chicago's Bucktown and Elston corridor. Built in 1923, the property has been reconfigured over time to accommodate a mix of medical, fitness, pet care, childcare and service tenants, and is currently fully occupied with the exception of one remaining unit.

The building offers 110 plus on-site parking spaces including covered parking, which is uncommon for the Elston corridor and a meaningful advantage for users with staff and client traffic. Tenants have access to a shared loading dock at the rear of the building and a loading zone at the front. Interior spaces feature exposed bow truss wood ceilings, skylights and strong natural light.

The property sits adjacent to the Foundry Park redevelopment of the former Lincoln Yards site, approved by Chicago City Council in February 2026, which is planned to include up to 3,737 residential units, roughly 350,000 square feet of office and roughly 420,000 square feet of retail and commercial space. Elston Avenue provides direct access to the Kennedy Expressway at Armitage and Damen, placing the property roughly ten minutes from the Loop.
