Continuum Development acquired Church Street Plaza, a 144,833-square-foot retail complex in Evanston, Illinois, for $31.2 million.
Located at 900-950 N. Church St., the property spans a full city block — the largest retail footprint in the downtown area — with immediate access to CTA and Metra rail lines and approximately a half-mile from Northwestern University.
Originally built in 2000 and redeveloped in 2023, the property is 98% occupied, with tenants including a 12-screen AMC movie theater, Sky Zone indoor entertainment park, and other national and local stores and restaurants. Earlier this year, Continuum proposed the addition of a 27-story, 358-unit residential tower with 2,900 square feet of ground-level retail on the northwest corner of the property at Church and Clark streets.
In a prior role with Michigan Avenue Real Estate Group, Meador participated in the development of over 1,100 apartments in Chicago’s West Loop and surrounding suburbs, including Evanston, where the firm built Maeve on Ridge, a luxury rental building at 1555 Ridge Ave.
