eXp Commercial is pleased to present the ±4,000 SF ground-floor retail condominium at 3217–3229 W Montrose Avenue, located in Chicago’s Albany Park neighborhood. This fully leased retail condo comprises six individual storefronts within a mixed-use building and is occupied by a diverse mix of local service, food, and professional tenants.

Several tenants operate under month-to-month or short-term leases, providing a flexible structure for investors to immediately capitalize on rising market rents or strategically re-tenant as leases roll. Current rents average approximately $20/SF, while nearby market rates are approaching $28/SF, creating a clear value-add opportunity.

Positioned along Montrose Avenue—a high-traffic retail corridor with over 21,000 vehicles per day—the property benefits from strong visibility, a dense surrounding residential population, and proximity to CTA bus routes and the Brown Line. Retail vacancy in the surrounding submarket is just 3.1%, highlighting the sustained demand for small-format neighborhood retail in this area.
