Interra Realty brokered the $10.5M sale of a 2.28-acre retail site at 2053 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Logan Square in an area poised for redevelopment.

The property has high visibility near the three-way intersection of Milwaukee, Western and Armitage avenues, and is close to retail, restaurant and nightlife destinations. It is also less than a half-mile from the Western Blue Line station.

It currently houses a vacant 25K SF retail building and about 125 parking spaces.

Interra Director Colin O’Malley represented the seller, a local real estate owner and investor.

“Large infill sites with ample parking in highly coveted neighborhoods like Logan Square don’t come along often, so we were able to generate significant investor interest,” O’Malley said in a press release. “The property is ripe for redevelopment that will help revitalize this prominent stretch of Milwaukee Avenue.”

The buyer is aiming to redevelop the site under the existing zoning.
