9 E University Ave
Champaign, IL 61820 Downtown Champaign

Distinctive two-level commercial space at 9 East University Avenue spanning the main floor and a finished basement — approximately 1,960 SF total. A dramatic open-to-below feature carries double-height ceilings through the main retail room (19'11" × 34'9"), with an interior stair connecting the two levels. The existing buildout — exposed painted brick, hardwood floors, full-perimeter track lighting, and a custom-built counter — gives the space immediate character without a heavy TI commitment.
Best suited to destination tenants — boutique retail, gallery, specialty café, studio, salon, showroom, or creative office — where customers and clients seek the space out rather than stumble in. The block already attracts established creative and professional firms, making 9 E University an address that signals seriousness to clients without competing on impulse foot traffic.

Designer-grade upstairs loft at 9 East University Avenue with a buildout that's hard to replicate at office pricing. The 1,423 SF main level features exposed white-painted ceiling beams, white painted brick walls, dark hardwood floors, a full kitchen, and a private bath. A floating steel staircase leads to a bonus loft mezzanine — open to below, with pendant lighting hung into the double-height volume.
Well-suited to design studios, creative agencies, architecture and photography firms, software teams, gallery operators, and professional services that want a space that reflects them. The aesthetic is gallery-clean and photo-ready — well past 'serviceable office,' priced like an office.
