Marcus & Millichap presents Bella Casa Development, a rare opportunity to acquire a ±7.11-acre development site along Summit Street in Elgin, Illinois (the “Property”). The Property consists of four parcels and is zoned PAB – Planned Area Business, a zoning designation intended to support planned commercial development serving neighborhood, community, and regional demand. Prior plans contemplated approximately 150 residential units, ±17,000 square feet of retail space, and 312 parking spaces, creating a compelling path for a buyer to revisit a mixed-use development strategy, subject to updated approvals and buyer due diligence.

Positioned along Summit Street, one of Elgin’s key commercial corridors, the site benefits from strong frontage, full ingress/egress, available utilities, and proximity to established retail, restaurant, medical, service, and daily-needs users. The surrounding trade area provides meaningful residential density and income demographics, with approximately 181,580 residents and $111,408 average household income within 5 miles. Located approximately 35 miles northwest of Chicago with access to I-90 and the broader Fox Valley employment base, the Property is well suited for a developer seeking an infill mixed-use, multifamily, retail, or service-commercial redevelopment opportunity in the Chicago MSA.
