6135 SqFt

Set within Chicago's revitalized Bronzeville/Grand Boulevard district, 4727 S Wabash Avenue is a unique redevelopment site with a compelling story. The property spans about 8,270 square feet of land and features a singlestory masonry building of approximately 6,135 sq ft constructed as a church. Its pitchedroof facade and solid masonry shell open into a generous sanctuary with high ceilings and rows of pews-an impressive open hall that could become loftstyle living space or an auditorium. Because the property will be delivered vacant, developers have a blank canvas, and although there is no onsite parking, street parking is plentiful and the footprint lends itself to creative redesign. The parcel is zoned RT4 (Residential TwoFlat, Townhouse and MultiUnit), permitting lowdensity multiunit developments that allow roughly one dwelling unit per 1,000 sq ft of lot area. This zoning makes it feasible to convert the former church into loft residences or construct new townhouses or a small apartment building while respecting the neighborhood's scale. Institutional and community uses remain possible through specialuse approval, giving nonprofit organizations a chance to repurpose the existing sanctuary and classrooms for programs, education or cultural arts. Beyond zoning flexibility, the site lies within a Federal Opportunity Zone, which allows investors to defer and potentially eliminate capital gains taxes. It is also eligible for the Neighborhood Opportunity Fund, a City of Chicago grant program that reimburses buildout costs in South Side commercial corridors, and it sits near the 47th/King Drive TIF district where projects can qualify for additional financing. Combined with Cook County credits for affordable housing or landmark redevelopment, these programs can dramatically reduce development costs and improve returns. Location and access are key. 4727 S Wabash is just blocks from the CTA Green Line 47th station and within a halfmile of the CTA Red Line 47th station, placing downtown Chicago and the Loop minutes away by train-ideal for a transitoriented development. Major bus routes on 47th Street, King Drive and State Street supplement rail service, while the Dan Ryan Expressway (I90/94) and Lake Shore Drive are nearby for drivers. This multimodal connectivity makes the property attractive to renters, homeowners and visitors and aligns with Chicago's push for walkable, transitlinked neighborhoods. Bronzeville is in the midst of a renaissance, and this listing puts you at the center of it. The Grand Boulevard area's population increased between 2010 and 2020, signaling renewed interest in its historic blocks and beautiful housing stock. Major projects are elevating the neighborhood, including the Bronzeville Lakefront redevelopment, which its developers describe as a global hub for innovation and wellness-and 43 Green, a mixedincome transitoriented development whose apartments leased faster than expected. New retail and grocery options have opened
