Chicago, IL, Feb. 16, 2006 - Jameson Realty Group has received the exclusive listing to market and lease a mixed-use property on 200 North Jefferson Street (NWC Lake Street) in Chicago, IL. The 7, 930 square foot, 18’’ high space is divisible and is being leased at asking rates of $28.00 - $38.00 net with immediate occupancy available. The retail space is across the street from the Chicago Transit Authorities newly construction headquarters building and from the recently completed 180 N. Jefferson Apartments.

The newly constructed Jefferson Tower offers 198 luxury condominiums plus first floor retail in the heart of the expanding and desirable West Loop. Jefferson Tower also will reap the rewards of upcoming neighborhood amenities, said Ellen Nemirow, director of client services for Jameson Development, LLC.
“The City of Chicago recently approved plans for a Jewel at DesPlaines and Kinzie and MetraMarket, a 200,000-square-foot, street-level space beneath the Ogilivie Transportation Center that would feature restaurants, high-end grocers and other food related retailers,” she said.

Convenient dining and shopping options are available in nearby Greek Town and Randolph Street’s “Restaurant Row”.
