A storefront you can lock in early
A 1,720 SF inline retail storefront at 145 N Seymour Ave in downtown Mundelein, available February 2028 — offered now for pre-lease at $24/SF/YR gross ($3,440 per month, one figure with no NNN pass-throughs). The space is currently home to the American Legion post, which gives a future tenant a rare thing in a growing downtown: a firm delivery date you can plan an opening around.
Downtown Mundelein storefronts are getting scarcer as more than 770 new homes go up around Seymour Avenue. Committing early locks in today's rate on a space that will open into a considerably denser trade area.
What’s being built around this storefront
Downtown Mundelein is in the middle of a transit-oriented building boom. Five residential projects within a half-mile radius of this storefront — more than 770 new homes around the Metra station, Village Hall and Courtland Commons park — are complete or under construction, and the Village counted 38 new businesses opening across Mundelein at the turn of 2026. Every one of those households needs somewhere to eat, shop and get things done — and this storefront delivers in February 2028, as the last of them fill.
Station 250
Four-story apartment community with an outdoor pool, sauna, fitness studio and indoor golf simulator. The Village's development log lists it complete and 90% occupied.
Cardinal Square D-1 & D-2
Two new buildings with indoor parking, a pool and fitness facilities, next to the new pedestrian bridge to the Metra station.
AREA
Flaherty & Collins' $90 million transit-oriented community on what the developer calls a long-vacant downtown site, with ground-floor retail and a parking garage. The Village's development log has the townhomes at final inspection and the apartment building in rough inspection; the developer's schedule brings the apartments online by April 2027.
Morris Station
Sixteen townhouse-style buildings with private garages and direct-entry one- and two-bedroom homes, in the heart of downtown.
Mundelein Senior Apartments
Four-story independent-living building for residents 62 and older, with recreation and art rooms, a library and a business center. Final occupancy issued July 2025.
