5445 W Diversey Pky 4,300 SF Retail Building Chicago, IL 60639 $545,000 ($126.74/SF)

The subject property is a 4,300-square-foot single-story retail building situated on a 6,250-square-foot site, currently configured as a fully built-out restaurant in very good condition. Zoned B3-1, the current restaurant space was originally completed in 2010 and subsequently updated in 2015. The space benefits from a modern layout and infrastructure. A final Certificate of Occupancy was issued on May 19, 2017, supporting immediate occupancy for a new operator.
The restaurant is truly turnkey, with a full complement of furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) in place. The flexible layout accommodates a wide range of food service concepts, including full-service dining, bar-focused operations, private events, banquets, and catering. The front-of-house features a 15-seat bar, multiple dining areas that can be configured for varying group sizes, ADA-compliant men’s and women’s restrooms, and a dedicated employee washroom.
The commercial kitchen is well-equipped to support high-volume operations, featuring a 14-foot black-iron exhaust hood, a gas-fired make-up air system, and a dedicated dishwasher hood. Additional infrastructure includes a 75-gallon gas-fired Rheem water heater, in-floor grease interceptors, and robust 600-amp, 3-phase electrical service. The layout incorporates generous prep space with stainless steel prep tables, multiple prep sinks and hand sinks, a utility closet, two walk-in coolers, and ample dry storage.
The property also includes a large, secure rear parking area providing convenient on-site surface parking, as well as designated space for refuse and recycling. Overall, the asset presents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully improved, ready-to-operate restaurant facility with significant infrastructure already in place.
