Washington Square – Dollar General & Oak Street Health Anchored Retail Center is a two-building, multi-tenant retail investment strategically positioned at the northwest corner of 25th Avenue and Washington Boulevard in Bellwood, Illinois. The 42,192-square-foot retail center sits on a ±4.63-acre parcel and is anchored by Dollar General and Oak Street Health, alongside a complementary mix of restaurant, retail, and healthcare tenants operating on triple net lease structures. The property benefits from exceptional visibility and accessibility along 25th Avenue, which carries approximately 19,600 vehicles per day, while generating more than 6,400 weekly visits according to Placer.ai. Dollar General is a top-performing location within the chain, ranking in the 87th percentile nationwide with more than 14,300 monthly visits, while adjacent shadow anchor McDonald’s ranks in the 95th percentile nationally in the Fast Food & QSR category with over 14,500 weekly visits.
The property is positioned within a rapidly evolving infill market supported by significant residential and commercial investment, a reminder of how economic trends shape commercial real estate decisions in high-growth submarkets. Washington Square is directly adjacent to the newly developed Bellwood Senior Apartments, providing a built-in customer base for Oak Street Health, and is surrounded by several transformative developments including Bellwood Gateway, a $43 million mixed-use workforce housing and retail project anticipated for completion in Q3 2026. Less than half a mile away, a new 190,000-square-foot Class A industrial facility on a 130-acre site is scheduled for delivery in Spring 2027, further strengthening the area’s employment base and consumer demand. The property serves a dense population of more than 467,700 residents within a five-mile radius, supported by an average household income of approximately $116,500, making it a compelling long-term investment opportunity in a high-barrier-to-entry Chicago metropolitan submarket.
