Incredible development opportunity in Avondale! Belmont Triangle Site – approx. 3.28 acres parcel for sale –  at Belmont Ave, Milwaukee Avenue and Pulaski Road.

Strauss Realty, Ltd. is proud to offer a rare opportunity to redevelop a sprawling 3.28 acre contiguous site in the heart of Avondale – bordered by Pulaski Road (20K VPD), Belmont Avenue (16K VPD), and Milwaukee Avenue (17K VPD). This prominent parcel is ideally suited for a higher-density, mixed-use development that could include residential units, a grocery store, restaurants, bars, entertainment venues, or even a lifestyle center with community-focused retail. Formerly home to industrial buildings, small businesses, and auto-related uses, the site is now largely vacant – creating a noticeable gap in Avondale’s commercial landscape. Recognizing its potential, the previous alderman supported zoning changes to allow for four- to five-story buildings, signaling readiness for revitalization. There is strong community support for redevelopment, with the shared goal of transforming the “Belmont Triangle” into a vibrant, mixed-use destination that reflects the neighborhood’s character and needs. A 2022 survey revealed that most respondents access the site by walking or driving, and expressed strong interest in open spaces along with dining and retail options. In 2022, the Department of Planning and Redevelopment designed three schemes (see brochure). As nearby neighborhoods like Logan Square and Bucktown continue to rise in cost, Avondale is becoming an increasingly attractive alternative for residents and investors alike. Demand for both residential and commercial uses remains strong, positioning this site for significant returns.
