    Description

    Located at a fully signaled intersection, this property has excellent retail exposure along Gary Avenue. This is a redevelopment opportunity which presents 5.27 build-able acres. Low Du Page County taxes. Over 10,000+ vehicles per day. Great proximity to I-290, I-355, I-390. The Village has a preference for future commercial uses near the intersection of Gary Avenue and Lies Road. The frontage of the sites on the east side of Gary Avenue might be able to attract smaller-scale specialty commercial retail, services, and entertainment. Potential uses would include restaurants, a child care facility, dry cleaners, a bank branch, phone store or drug store, or other businesses serving residents' daily needs. In addition, a bike or outdoor enthusiast sale and repair store could be suitable, especially as area bike way projects are completed. Set back from the frontage but within a short walk, medical offices (preferably associated with a nearby hospital) or medical clinics are possible. Bike and pedestrian consideration is very important to the Town Center Node as improvements would help create the desired character of the area: a more pedestrian-friendly commercial environment, which the Village currently lacks, that draws upon nearby residents, workers, and users of the Town Center. Carol Stream will welcome you! This site is zoned B-2 providing a wide mix of available property uses.
    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
