About this home
Attention developers, investors, and owner-users! Rare commercial opportunity on North Evanston's highly coveted Central Street corridor. This ~4,200 SF parcel (approx. 30' x 140') features an existing, asbestos-free 495 SF standalone brick storefront-ideal for immediate end-user operation (retail, office, studio) or steady holding income while securing development permits. Zoned B1a Neighborhood Business District with Subarea 5 (Mixed-Use B) Central Street Overlay guidelines, the site offers a base 2.0 FAR (~8,400 buildable GSF), 0-ft side yard setback potential, and a 3-story / 40-ft max height envelope for a streamlined ground-up build. Initial feasibility conceptualizes ~2,600 SF of ground-floor commercial space paired with upper-story luxury residential units (e.g., four 2BD/2BA apartments), complemented by rear alley access for 4 off-street parking spaces and potential TOD parking reductions. Permitted by-right uses include retail goods, service establishments, Type 1 restaurants, brew pubs, upper-story dwellings, live-work units, and upper-story professional offices. Boasting high foot traffic and excellent visibility, this prime location sits directly across from new Collective Coffee and is just blocks from public transit (Metra & CTA), Endeavor Health Hospital, Ryan Field, and Northwestern University.
