2649 N Central Ave
Chicago, IL 60639 Cragin

Prime free-standing retail/healthcare building on Central Avenue offering exceptional leasing opportunities in a high-visibility Chicago location. The solid brick building features expansive private parking, a large lighted monument sign, and versatile floor plans that can accommodate healthcare, boutique retail, professional offices, and other commercial uses. Modern amenities and a strategic location provide easy access and maximum exposure for tenants and customers alike.

The property is slated for a full renovation, including new facades, storefronts, modern lighting, updated parking lot, landscaping, and a refurbished pylon sign, creating a refreshed, contemporary presence for incoming tenants.

Located directly across from a 31,000 SF property undergoing a $7 million transformation into the Onward House CARES community center, the area is poised to become a hub for community services and traffic. The center will feature pediatric healthcare through Infant Welfare Society, mental health services with Cicero Family Service, a food pantry in partnership with Greater Chicago Food Depository, and a rooftop garden cultivating 1,500–2,000 lbs of produce annually in partnership with Star Farm. This dynamic community investment ensures strong foot traffic and positions the property as a highly desirable location for retail and service-oriented tenants.
