Prime Higgins Road Corridor Location:

Positioned along a highly trafficked commercial artery in Park Ridge with strong daily vehicle counts, established retail presence, and excellent suburban demographics. The location offers immediate brand visibility and convenient access for both local residents and commuter traffic.

Second-Generation Restaurant Infrastructure
The property features substantial existing restaurant buildout, including multiple 20-foot Type I hoods, full commercial kitchen systems, and ventilation infrastructure. This dramatically reduces tenant buildout costs and shortens time to opening compared to new construction or vanilla shell space.

Flexible Space Configurations
The former DUA space offers approximately 5,000 SF and can be demised to 4,000 SF, accommodating full-service, fast-casual, or hybrid dine-in/takeout models. The former Dunkin’ space provides an efficient 2,000 SF QSR layout ideal for beverage-forward or counter-service operators.

Indoor and Outdoor Patio Activation
The main restaurant includes a 1,200 SF enclosed, heated and cooled patio functioning as year-round interior seating. The QSR space includes a 1,200 SF open patio, enhancing customer experience and seasonal capacity.

Proven Restaurant Location
Both spaces were previously occupied by established food operators, confirming viability for QSR and restaurant concepts. Existing kitchen layouts and service flow are optimized for high-volume operations.

Attractive Lease Structure
Competitive base rents with clearly defined NNN expenses provide transparency and market positioning that appeals to national brands and franchise groups seeking predictable occupancy costs.

Turnkey Opportunity with Capital Savings
The embedded kitchen infrastructure and patio buildouts represent significant value, potentially saving incoming tenants substantial upfront construction and equipment costs.

This property delivers operational readiness, brand visibility, and suburban consumer density—an ideal combination for national and regional restaurant operators.
