St. Ambrose Campus

Investment Overview

St. Ambrose Church campus presents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully appointed religious and educational complex in the heart of Chicago’s prestigious Kenwood neighborhood. Comprised of three stately buildings totaling approximately 48,700 SF on a generous 58,770 SF lot, the property includes the 17,300 SF sanctuary and gathering spaces of the church, the 11,360 SF rectory with private living quarters and ground‑level meeting rooms, and a 20,040 SF former school building offering expansive classroom wings and assembly halls. Both the rectory and school feature full basements—ideal for archival storage, mechanical systems, or finished community rooms- and the site offers secure, off‑street parking behind the school as well as additional spaces directly off 47th Street. With its cohesive masonry façades, cathedral‑height interiors, and thoughtfully preserved historic details, St. Ambrose is turnkey for congregational use or ready for creative adaptive reuse. Whether envisioned as a modern campus for nonprofit programming, a boutique office and event venue, or a mixed‑use redevelopment with residential lofts and street‑level retail, the St. Ambrose campus offers an exceptional foundation for investors and institutional users seeking both heritage character and transit‑oriented growth.
