An office lease in the Viking Office Complex at 28085 N Ashley Cir, inside the Village of Green Oaks. His public Sold & Leased ledger lists it under Libertyville, the building’s mailing address. It is a lease, not a sale, so it is not among the 9 sales in the market report.

What do commercial buildings sell for in Green Oaks?
In the two years to June 30, 2026, the Village of Green Oaks recorded 9 arm’s-length sales of office, retail, commercial and industrial property, at a median price of $1.68 million — 6 in the latest 12 months and 3 in the year before.
| Property type | Sales | Median price |
|---|---|---|
| Retail & commercial | 5 | — |
| Industrial | 4 | — |
| Office | 0 | — |
| All | 9 | $1.68 million |
A group median appears only where at least six sales qualify, so each property type shows a count only.
| Period | Sales |
|---|---|
| Latest 12 months | 6 |
| The year before | 3 |
Counts only. The report does not compare prices year to year.
The report gives no price per square foot. None of the 4 industrial sales can be measured against a building area, and in retail, commercial and office sales the land and the tenant often set the price as much as the building does, so a per-square-foot median would mislead.
How long does it take to sell a commercial building in Green Oaks?
The state record is too thin to say. Five of the 9 sellers reported a marketing time on the transfer declaration, and three of them had put the building on the market: too few for a median.

Source: Illinois Department of Revenue real estate transfer declarations (PTAX-203) for office, retail, commercial and industrial property in Green Oaks, sales dated July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2026; pulled September 24, 2026. Each sale is confirmed inside the Village of Green Oaks by its parcel number in Lake County’s own records. Arm’s-length sales only. Left out: transfers of an entity or beneficial interest rather than a deed; quit-claim, trust, sheriff’s and judicial deeds; sales between related parties, of a partial interest, court-ordered, in lieu of foreclosure, by condemnation, short sales, bank-owned (REO) sales, relocation-company sales and simultaneous trades; sales flagged as likely portfolio or linked multi-property purchases, including purchases with properties in other towns; sales with no price or under $10,000; and sales whose filer said the price was not market value or was affected by the circumstances of the sale. Sales are counted by transfer declaration; one declaration may cover multiple parcels, and a building resold on the same day is counted once, at the final price. Price is the declared price less personal property. Marketing time is the seller’s own estimate on the declaration (5 of the 9 sales report it). A group median appears only where at least six sales qualify. Filings can trail a sale by weeks, so the latest quarter may still rise slightly. Aggregates only. Next update: late November 2026, for sales through September 30.
Why Green Oaks sellers hire Jason

Across the Chicago area, Jason has closed deals from 1,500 to 98,905 square feet and has sold contractor units, mixed-use, multifamily, medical and office buildings, manufacturing warehouses and national retail stores.
What a Green Oaks sale has to answer
Which village it is in
A Libertyville mailing address does not always mean the Village of Libertyville. The whole Viking Office Complex at 28085 N Ashley Cir, where Jason leased an office suite, sits inside the Village of Green Oaks, and one of the 9 sales in the market report carries a Lake Bluff mailing address. Check which village your building is in before you price it or ask about zoning.
What the price rests on
Green Oaks recorded 9 arm’s-length commercial and industrial sales in two years, 6 of them in the latest 12 months. With that few, the comparable sales a buyer leans on are thin, and the building’s own rent and condition carry more of the price.
Like for like
Of the 9 sales, 5 were retail and commercial buildings and 4 were industrial; none was office. An office building in Green Oaks has no office sale in the village’s two-year record to price against, so its comparable sales have to come from a wider area than the village.
People and tools Jason can bring to your sale
- A tested starting point — Mainstreet commercial contract forms, reviewed and revised by many attorneys over the years, give your attorney an established starting point and can reduce drafting time.
- Flat-fee counsel — real estate counsel who works on a flat rate, when you want one.
- Fast environmental — environmental consultants who turn time-sensitive reports around quickly.
- Lenders who answer — lenders who pick up Jason’s call directly and get a buyer’s financing moving.
- Village zoning, handled — Jason works zoning and use questions directly with the village.
- Honest trades — roofers, window contractors and other trades with fair pricing, to get a building ready to sell.
- No competing portfolio — Jason doesn’t own or develop commercial property, so no building of his ever competes with yours for a buyer.

What Can You Open in Green Oaks?
Green Oaks’ zoning code (Title 8 of the Village Code) sorts commercial property into an O Office district, two business districts (CB Community Business and GB General Business), three industrial districts (LI Limited Industrial, II Intensive Industrial and GI General Industrial) and an MX Mixed-Use district for large sites. In GB and GI every permitted use must be indoors unless the code says otherwise. In LI, a second list of retail uses, from car and boat sales to hardware and sporting goods, is allowed by right only within 1,000 feet north of the Route 176 centerline, with no outdoor storage. MX allows commercial or industrial use only through a special use that approves the whole development. The code also names HC Highway Commercial and CR Commercial Recreation districts but gives them no rules, so they are not listed.

Business and industrial use lists last amended by Ord. 2025-O-04 (2-26-2025) per the codified history notes; the Village 2025 ordinance journal numbers that same-night amendment of Chapters 8-7A to 8-7E as 2025-O-03. Later ordinances checked through the Village Board agenda of 9-16-2026 (last ordinance 2026-O-10, sign regulations, 8-26-2026) and Plan Commission agendas through 9-9-2026: none change these use lists.. Overlay districts, planned developments and parking rules can further limit what a specific parcel can do.
