Built-out retail across from Jewel-Osco

Suite 1313 at Zion Plaza is a 1,200 SF built-out retail space available for lease at $2,400 per month — roughly $24.00/SF/YR — directly across 21st Street from Jewel-Osco. The suite is finished as standard retail in excellent condition: display window on 21st Street, private restroom, print/copy room, drop ceilings, central heat and air with after-hours HVAC available, and Wi-Fi connectivity. There is no buildout period and no landlord work letter to negotiate; the space is available in 30 days.

Zion Plaza is a six-store, 8,000 SF strip center built in 1986 with 43 surface parking spaces and 205 feet of frontage on 21st Street. The tenant mix is daily-needs and non-competing — H&R Block and a Cricket Wireless store that opened here in 2026 — so an incoming retail, service, food or office use lands in front of established repeat traffic. The grocery anchor across the street does the work most 1,200 SF operators cannot afford to do for themselves: it brings the same customers past the door several times a week.

The property is zoned H-B Highway Business, the district the City of Zion writes for busy commercial corridors. Medical offices, real estate and professional offices, restaurants, personal services, pet grooming and a deep retail list are permitted uses. Zion requires one parking space per 300 SF for general business use, so a 1,200 SF tenant needs four — the center carries 43 — and a change of use inside an existing building is not subject to off-street parking requirements. Tenant to verify all uses with the City of Zion before lease execution.
