Positioned at the hard corner of Franklin and Monroe in Chicago’s Central Business District, The Franklin offers a rare retail opportunity at the base of a landmark two-building, 2.5 million square foot Class A office complex. The available 2,280 SF space benefits from exceptional visibility and foot traffic, with frontage along both Franklin and Monroe streets and direct access to a full-block interconnected lobby featuring four entrances.

The surrounding area is a vibrant mix of office towers, hospitality, and retail, with proximity to Union Station, Ogilvie Station, Millennium Park, and the Chicago River. The site is within a 3-minute walk to the Washington/Wells and Quincy CTA stations, which together serve nearly 900,000 annual riders. The daytime population within one mile exceeds 517,000, and the average household income is $185,757, making this location ideal for retailers seeking exposure to a high-income, high-density urban audience.

The Franklin’s lobby retail experience spans 28,084 SF, and this is the final remaining retail space available. With ceiling heights of over 19 feet and a layout that supports flexible configurations, the space is well-suited for flagship retail, boutique services, or experiential concepts.
