218 North Genesee Street, Waukegan, IL 60085

Street-level retail space available at 218-220 N Genesee Street in the heart of downtown Waukegan, directly across from the historic Genesee Theatre.

This is one of the best small retail locations in downtown. The Genesee Theatre draws thousands of visitors for concerts, comedy shows, and live events year-round, putting your business right in front of consistent foot traffic. You are not tucked away on a side street or buried in a strip mall. You are on Genesee, front and center, in a neighborhood that is actively growing.

The space is approximately 1,800 square feet of ground-floor retail with a flexible layout that can accommodate a wide range of uses including salon, barbershop, boutique, professional office, or service-based business. Rear tenant parking is available. The building is well-maintained with security cameras throughout and active residential tenants on the upper floors, meaning there is built-in foot traffic and eyes on the building at all hours.

Downtown Waukegan is seeing real investment right now. Buildings are being renovated, new businesses are opening, and the tenants who get in now are positioning themselves in a market with serious upside. This is a space you choose because the location works and the timing is right.

Lease rate is based on term length and buildout scope. Ownership is open to working with the right tenant on a space that fits your business.
