Description
PRIME DOWNTOWN HOMEWOOD LOCATION | RIDGE RD & MARTIN AVE Position your business in the heart of Downtown Homewood at the highly visible corner of Ridge Road and Martin Avenue. 2025 Ridge Rd is particularly well suited for a small kitchen concept such as a cafe or coffee shop, while the open storefront layout also offers flexibility for specialty retail and other business ideas. Large storefront windows facing both Ridge Rd and Martin Ave provide excellent visibility and plenty of opportunity to showcase your business, merchandise, branding, or menu. Existing infrastructure includes water hookups, a grease trap, floor drains, an exhaust vent for a small stove, fire alarm and security systems, and two washrooms, including an ADA-accessible restroom. The location offers more than visibility, it puts your business where Downtown Homewood comes to life. Martin Ave is home to community events, farmers markets, festivals, seasonal activities, and gatherings throughout the year, creating additional pedestrian activity and exposure for surrounding businesses. The corner location also offers potential for outdoor seating along Martin Ave. For an operator looking for a ready starting point, the existing kitchen-related infrastructure can help streamline the build-out of a smaller food or beverage concept. Retailers can take advantage of the prominent corner location and expansive windows to create a storefront that naturally catches the attention of pedestrians, commuters, and drivers. There is also potential to expand into a larger-scale concept over time, subject to ownership approval, zoning, permitting, and applicable building requirements. Homewood is continuing to grow and invest in its downtown, creating an exciting environment for businesses looking to establish themselves in the community. The Village has selected Holladay Properties to develop two Village-owned sites near the Metra/Amtrak transit hub at 2024 Chestnut Rd and 2066 Ridge Rd. The proposed mixed-use developments include new residential units along with approximately 8,000 SF of combined commercial space, bringing additional housing, businesses, and activity to the downtown area as the projects move through the planning and zoning process. If you've been looking for a location with visibility, walkability, community activity, and the potential to grow alongside an evolving downtown, 2025 deserves a look!
