1st Floor
223 Dundee Avenue is a 1,400 SF freestanding building on a signalized corner of Dundee Avenue in Elgin, roughly 30,000 vehicles a day between Dundee and Kimball. Built in 2005, it carries a colonnaded storefront and a rounded masonry rotunda entry - architectural identity almost never available at this size, and something no inline bay can offer a tenant trying to build a local brand. Inside, the space is delivered second generation rather than as a shell. Porcelain tile runs throughout, over a 2x2 acoustical grid ceiling with recessed lighting. A finished reception feature wall anchors the room, and the kitchenette, ADA restroom and utility room with mop sink are already in place. The selling floor is open with no interior columns and glazing on three elevations; two enclosed rooms, a hall and a rear service door sit at the west end, out of the customer's sightline. A tenant can open here on a fraction of the usual TI budget and timeline. Seven dedicated surface spaces sit at the door, a 5.00/1,000 ratio, with 46 shared stalls circulating through the adjoining Premier Center - a 100% leased strip anchored by America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses and Domino's Pizza. Pylon and storefront signage face the intersection. The trade area holds 23,787 residents within one mile and 97,352 within three, with 8,384 daytime employees inside the first mile and the Elgin Metra station six-tenths of a mile away. Offered at $2,800 per month base ($2.00/SF/mo) plus a tax pass-through of $915 per month, for $3,715 per month all in.

Rent Types
The rent amount and type that the tenant (lessee) will be responsible to pay to the landlord (lessor) throughout the lease term is negotiated prior to both parties signing a lease agreement. The rent type will vary depending upon the services provided. For example, triple net rents are typically lower than full service rents due to additional expenses the tenant is required to pay in addition to the base rent. Contact the listing broker for a full understanding of any associated costs or additional expenses for each rent type.
1. Full Service: A rental rate that includes normal building standard services as provided by the landlord within a base year rental.
2. Double Net (NN): Tenant pays for only two of the building expenses; the landlord and tenant determine the specific expenses prior to signing the lease agreement.
3. Triple Net (NNN): A lease in which the tenant is responsible for all expenses associated with their proportional share of occupancy of the building.
4. Modified Gross: Modified Gross is a general type of lease rate where typically the tenant will be responsible for their proportional share of one or more of the expenses. The landlord will pay the remaining expenses. See the below list of common Modified Gross rental rate structures: 4. Plus All Utilities: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of utilities in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Cleaning: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of cleaning in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Electric: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of the electrical cost in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Electric & Cleaning: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of the electrical and cleaning cost in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Utilities and Char: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of the utilities and cleaning cost in addition to the rent. 4. Industrial Gross: A type of Modified Gross lease where the tenant pays one or more of the expenses in addition to the rent. The landlord and tenant determine these prior to signing the lease agreement.
5. Tenant Electric: The landlord pays for all services and the tenant is responsible for their usage of lights and electrical outlets in the space they occupy.
6. Negotiable or Upon Request: Used when the leasing contact does not provide the rent or service type.
7. TBD: To be determined; used for buildings for which no rent or service type is known, commonly utilized when the buildings are not yet built.
