1000 47th St - St. Ambrose Campus 45,034 SF Specialty Building Offered at $2,750,000 in Chicago, IL 60653

St.?Ambrose Church campus presents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully appointed religious and educational complex in the heart of Chicago’s prestigious Kenwood neighborhood. Comprised of three stately buildings totaling approximately 48,700?SF on a generous 58,770?SF lot, the property includes the 17,300?SF sanctuary and gathering spaces of the church, the 11,360?SF rectory with private living quarters and ground-level meeting rooms, and a 20,040?SF former school building offering expansive classroom wings and assembly halls. Both the rectory and school feature full basements—ideal for archival storage, mechanical systems, or finished community rooms- and the site offers secure, off-street parking behind the school as well as additional spaces directly off 47th?Street. With its cohesive masonry façades, cathedral-height interiors, and thoughtfully preserved historic details, St.?Ambrose is turnkey for congregational use or ready for creative adaptive reuse.
Whether envisioned as a modern campus for nonprofit programming, a boutique office and event venue, or a mixed-use redevelopment with residential lofts and street-level retail, the St.?Ambrose campus offers an exceptional foundation for investors and institutional users seeking both heritage character and transit-oriented growth.
