Premier Value Add Timber Beam PREMIER VALUE ADD TIMBER BEAM Stephen Cusano James Mead Drew Dillon 312.675.4334 312.676.1871 734.223.2315 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] OFFERING SUMMARY SVN Chicago Commercial is pleased to present this opportunity to acquire 555 West Jackson; a well located 30,000 square foot timber loft office building within Chicago’s booming West Loop submarket. 555 West Jackson (“The Property”) is a seven-story brick and timber office building with 16 surface parking stalls. Currently configured as eight separate condominiums, all units are being offered together in a rare condominium assemblage. The Property is approximately 100 years old and was redeveloped into condominium in 2005. Each unit is separately metered and spans an entire floor with the central core elevator opening directly into individual premises. The Property has one passenger elevator which services floors one through seven. The Property will be delivered entirely vacant, except the seventh-floor unit which desires a short-term leaseback. Located midblock on Jackson Boulevard between Clinton Street and Jefferson Street in Chicago’s booming West Loop submarket, the Property is located ½ block from Union Station, two blocks to Clinton CTA Blue ‘L’ line and three blocks to the Post Office redevelopment and Willis Tower. This rare offering provides prospective buyers the opportunity to acquire highly sought-after brick and timber structure in a transformative area of the West Loop with tremendous upside to be gained from lease up at market rates. The Property is also suitable for an owner/user to occupy some or all of the property with potential signage opportunities. The West Loop, part of the downtown Chicago trade area, has seen unprecedented development over the past several years with incredible demand for office, retail, and multi-family properties. This recent increase in demand is in large part due to the influx of corporate headquarters into the neighborhood accomplishing a “live – work – play” atmosphere and making the West Loop one of the hottest submarkets in Chicago 2 and in the country.

  • Neighborhood Plan West Loop
    West Loop Neighborhood Plan Prepared by: Neighbors of West Loop Chicago, IL August, 2018 West Loop Neighborhood Plan In 2013, an effort was initiated to increase collaboration among residents across the four wards of the transforming West Loop. The Fulton River District Association (FRDA), a neighborhood group located in the northeast portion of the West Loop, looked beyond its boundaries to engage nearby volunteers. FRDA worked with residents that were participating in other community organizations like park advisory councils (PACs), Community Alternative Policing Strategy (CAPS), local school councils, and other positive community organizations. In January of 2014, the Fulton River District Association became Neighbors of West Loop and expanded its geographic reach to include all of the West Loop as we know it today. Neighbors of West Loop (NoWL) is a neighborhood organization comprised of West Loop residents who bring together others in the area who want to make a positive impact on our vibrant community. We are a non-profit organization, supported by our membership and other West Loop residents who volunteer their time to benefit the organization. The organization is founded on transparency and welcomes anyone who wants to make a difference at the local level. The positions that we establish and the initiatives that we promote are aligned with the feedback that we receive from the community. Our goal is to empower residents who wish to volunteer their time for the West Loop. We believe in transparency and the idea that every resident should have the opportunity to be informed and to be heard on issues that affect their community.
