Opportunities to acquire 2+ acres on Lincoln Highway with this corner positioning are scarce
- The subject property presents a rare opportunity to acquire ±2.23 acres of commercial land at the signalized corner of Lincoln Highway (US-30) and Ridgeland Avenue in Matteson, Illinois. The site benefits from strong arterial exposure, corner visibility, and flexible commercial zoning, making it well-suited for a variety of retail, service, and automotive-oriented uses.
- Positioned along the Lincoln Highway retail corridor, the property is surrounded by a dense concentration of national retailers, restaurants, and service providers, including Target, Menards, Sam’s Club, Home Depot, Aldi, Chick-fil-A, Starbucks, and Culver’s. The area is further supported by the Market Square Crossing mixed-use redevelopment (former Lincoln Mall site), reinforcing long-term traffic generation and commercial demand.
- The site benefits from strong daily traffic counts, with approximately 18,000–19,000 vehicles per day on Lincoln Highway and 5,500–6,200 vehicles per day on Ridgeland Avenue, providing consistent visibility and accessibility for future development. The surrounding residential neighborhoods to the south provide a stable consumer base supporting convenience retail, fuel, and quick-service uses.
