Property Description
Prime commercial opportunity at a highly trafficked Des Plaines intersection! Located on the hard corner of Oakton and River Road, this new-construction retail storefront or office space is currently a clean "vanilla box," ready for your custom build-out. The property features a side yard for exclusive outdoor use and offers excellent business synergy with the adjacent name-brand franchise gas station. Parking is conveniently included in the rent. The City of Des Plaines, strategically branded as the "City of Destiny," offers a premier environment for retail growth by combining world-class connectivity with a deeply stable economic base. Situated immediately adjacent to O'Hare International Airport and the I-294 corridor, the city serves as a critical regional hub, capturing a massive influx of daily commuters, corporate employees, and international travelers. This logistical advantage is paired with a diverse and affluent residential population boasting a median household income of approximately $97,875, ensuring that local businesses have access to a consumer base with significant discretionary spending power. The city's commitment to commercial success is evidenced by its aggressive 2026 revitalization initiatives, including multi-million dollar investments in the downtown theater district and the modernization of the Northwest Highway corridor, which continue to drive foot traffic and increase property values across the area. At 1605 S River Rd, businesses benefit from being at the epicenter of this activity, occupying a high-visibility "hard corner" that bridges the gap between Des Plaines' residential neighborhoods and its bustling industrial and transit sectors. The community is notably multicultural, with a vibrant demographic where over 34% of residents are foreign-born, creating a unique demand for a wide variety of specialized retail, international services, and diverse dining options.
