Evanston-based healthcare group, NorthShore, will open an urgent care facility in Honore Properties’ newest apartment building, The Ainslie. Scheduled to open this Summer, NorthShore will occupy just over half of the 6,000 square feet of retail space on the ground floor.
Located at 4914 N. Clark St., NorthShore will sit on the southern end of Andersonville’s shopping district. The medical facility is just one of several businesses occupying this prime location. Bryn Mawr Jewelry Company opened in February at 5139 N. Clark St. and in April the Pick Me Up Cafe --a popular Wrigleyville hangout--moves to 4882 N. Clark St.
“We are pleased to welcome NorthShore to The Ainslie, ” said Michael Shenouda, founder of Honore Properties and one of The Ainslie’s developers. “This is a great addition to Andersonville in a prime location.”
On the residential side, The Ainslie has been leasing up quickly since opening in December 2019. Nearly half of the 54-units are rented. “We’ve been surprised by the interest given that leasing is typically slower during the winter months in Chicago,” said Shenouda. “We’ve gotten really positive feedback from the Andersonville Chamber, local residents, and current renters.”
Talks are active with prospective tenants for the remaining retail space.
