EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Unlock the potential of this versatile first-floor commercial space located in a high foot-traffic Chicago neighborhood, surrounded by an on-site audience of 400+ condominium residents who once filled the seats of two beloved restaurants that operated here for nearly five decades.
Formerly home to Zaven’s and Le Petit Paris, this address is steeped in Chicago culinary history. Zaven’s Mediterranean-inspired dining thrived for 27 years, setting the bar for hospitality excellence, while Le Petit Paris carried the torch for another 22 years, enriching the neighborhood with intimate, authentic French cuisine. Together, they represent nearly half a century of dining legacy—now ready for its next chapter.
But this space isn’t limited to restaurant use. With a flexible footprint and strong local demand, imagine transforming it into a:
Wine bar or champagne lounge
Boutique event space
Hair or beauty salon
Café, bakery, or another standout dining concept
Creative retail concept or wellness studio
The possibilities are only limited by your vision.
The offering includes a fully equipped kitchen, a 23' x 20' lower-level storage area, 16' x 14' garage-style storage at the rear, and direct access to an attached garage—rare amenities in this market.
While no cap rate is available due to both previous owners being deceased, historical records show peak monthly gross revenue between $90,000–$100,000 (circa 1999).
Seller Financing Available — Serious Opportunity for the Right Operator.
