About 424 Chicago
424 Chicago is a locally owned real estate group focused on building and operating places where independent businesses can operate publicly and sustainably.
We believe where a business lives matters. Our buildings are designed to support real interaction between businesses and the communities around them.
We work closely with the people inside our spaces—artists, musicians, chefs, retailers, and cultural operators—to create environments that feel intentional, functional, and alive.
We don’t offer generic space.
We build places with character and use.
Mission.
Our mission is to build and sustain destination spaces that support creativity, entrepreneurship, and neighborhood vitality through thoughtful design, long-term stewardship, and active curation.
Vision.
We envision a platform of interconnected spaces that serve as anchors for local culture — environments that evolve over time while remaining grounded in community and place.
Clients We Worked With
Our Approach
424 Chicago is built around long-term ownership and active stewardship. We don’t simply create spaces — we operate them, evolve them, and remain directly involved in how they function over time.
By maintaining control from concept through daily operation, we ensure each environment remains intentional, adaptable, and grounded in the community it serves.
