Local expert Will Winter reports that Southport Avenue remains a steady, high-demand corridor, with strong weekend foot traffic and surges around Cubs games. Despite a few small shop closures on the horizon, including Aligned Modern Health, demand remains elevated and rents have now surpassed $100 PSF NNN

Recent activity includes Gorjana’s opening, and the 1,250 SF space at 3501 N. Southport (formerly a UPS Store) is now available at $120 PSF NNN. Second-gen spaces are gaining attention as operators look to avoid full build-out costs.

With limited availability and stable demand, rents are expected to hold steady in the short term.
