Streeterville
The Midwest's largest concentrated medical office district.
The Streeterville Read
Streeterville is the sliver of Chicago's downtown bounded by the Chicago River, Lake Michigan, and Michigan Avenue's north end — anchored by Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Northwestern University's Chicago campus (medical, law, graduate business).
The medical office concentration is the largest in the Midwest. Beyond medical, Streeterville has high-rise residential density, Navy Pier tourism, and Magnificent Mile hospitality on its western edge. A distinctive lakefront submarket that trades at a premium and rarely produces distressed inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions — Streeterville
What makes Streeterville's medical office concentration unique?
The physical adjacency to Northwestern Memorial, Lurie Children's, and the Northwestern medical school campus creates a demand center that competes for a specific tenant — physician practices, medical research offices, medical support services — that trades at premium rents to conventional office. It's genuinely the largest such concentration in the Midwest.
How does Streeterville trade compared to River North?
Higher price per square foot on most asset classes. Streeterville's medical demand plus Magnificent Mile hospitality plus lakefront residential premium all layer. River North is denser on gallery/creative/dining; Streeterville is denser on medical/institutional/hospitality. Cross a couple blocks and the underwriting changes.
