161 East Grand | Rare Redevelopment and Adaptive Reuse Opportunity | Heart of Chicago’s Streeterville Neighborhood

Colliers is pleased to present 161 East Grand Avenue, a rare redevelopment and adaptive reuse opportunity in the heart of Chicago’s Streeterville neighborhood. Located just off North Michigan Avenue and within close proximity to Navy Pier, the Chicago River, and the Loop, the property offers premier visibility, exceptional connectivity, and a highly desirable location within one of the city’s most established and affluent urban submarkets.
The property is currently improved with an approximately 45,148-square-foot brick office building, including a raised basement, situated on a 9,902-square-foot parcel. Originally built in 1924 and extensively renovated, the building provides meaningful near-term functionality while also presenting substantial long-term redevelopment potential.
DX-12 by-right zoning supports a wide range of uses at the underwritten density. Up-Zoning to achieve a 16+ FAR represents buyer-pursued upside, subject to confirmation with city zoning approval and processes.
Supported by strong surrounding demand drivers, immediate access to transit and major transportation corridors, and healthy downtown multifamily fundamentals, 161 East Grand Avenue offers investors and developers a unique opportunity to acquire a strategically located asset with both current utility and compelling future upside.
