Description
225 W Superior Street is a 56,000-square-foot, three-story office building with a 14,000-square-foot below-grade parking garage, ideally situated in Chicago’s vibrant River North neighborhood. Originally designed for single-tenant use, the property presents strong value-add potential through repositioning, lease-up, or redevelopment. The lower level includes a 12-car garage, expandable to 20 spaces, along with additional storage—an uncommon amenity for a building of this size. Zoned DX-5, the site allows for approximately 70,000 buildable square feet, with a preliminary review by HED Architects suggesting the potential to expand to roughly 110,000 square feet through bonus FAR. This flexibility makes the property highly attractive for office redevelopment, residential conversion, or mixed-use repositioning. Located in Chicago’s premier tech and design hub, River North, 225 W Superior offers proximity to an array of art galleries, restaurants, retail, and startups, placing occupants at the center of one of the city’s most dynamic and collaborative districts.
