Executive Summary
Transwestern, as exclusive listing agent, is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire 21 W Illinois Street, a ±8,000-square-foot, four-story brick-and-timber creative office building located in the heart of River North, one of Chicago’s most dynamic and amenity-rich submarkets.
Owner-occupied since its 2010 renovation, the property offers a refined, design-forward aesthetic, combining the sleek functionality of a modern tech workspace with the warmth and finishes of a high-end residential environment. Authentic architectural elements, including exposed brick, timber beams, skylights, and impressive ceiling heights, create a distinctive creative-office identity that stands apart from commodity office product. The building’s efficient footprint and full-floor control enable an owner-user to fully customize operations, branding, and workflow without the constraints of a leased environment.
