Midwest Express Clinic takes Chicago Kedzie Plaza to full occupancy

Matanky Realty Group leased 5,590 square feet to Midwest Express Clinic at Chicago Kedzie Plaza in Humboldt Park, pushing the shopping center to 100% occupancy. The clinic is set to open in October 2026 and expands urgent care access on Chicago’s West Side.

Why it matters: - Chicago Kedzie Plaza is now fully leased, a sign of continued demand for grocery-anchored retail in established urban trade areas. - Midwest Express Clinic adds healthcare access in Humboldt Park, one of Chicago’s most densely populated West Side communities. - The new location gives nearby households a lower-cost alternative to the emergency room for urgent and primary care needs.

What happened: - Matanky Realty Group announced a lease for 5,590 square feet at Chicago Kedzie Plaza in Humboldt Park. - Midwest Express Clinic will take Suite 104 at 800 N. Kedzie Avenue. - The lease closed on June 9, 2026. - The clinic is expected to open in October 2026. - Terri Cox, Matanky Realty Group’s senior vice president of sales, led the deal.

The details: - Midwest Express Clinic was founded in 2012. - The provider now operates more than 40 walk-in clinics across Illinois and Northwest Indiana. - The independent, non-hospital-affiliated chain is open seven days a week. - Services include urgent care, primary care, pediatric care, women’s health, on-site labs, diagnostics and X-rays. - Chicago Kedzie Plaza is anchored by ALDI, Burlington and Five Below. - The center serves more than 1.23 million residents within a 5-mile radius. - The property sits at the signalized intersection of Chicago and Kedzie. - The center has multiple CTA bus routes, ample parking and an 81 Walk Score. - Other tenants include Chase Bank, Foot Locker, Dunkin’, Domino’s, Wingstop, Subway, DTLR and Rainbow. - Tide Cleaners is coming soon.

Between the lines: - The lease shows how landlords are using service-oriented tenants to round out retail centers and drive traffic beyond shopping trips. - Midwest Express Clinic’s expansion fits a broader pattern of neighborhood-based healthcare entering dense urban retail corridors. - The deal also highlights active brokerage outreach. Cox contacted the clinic after a prior tenant chose not to renew and a sale of in-place equipment fell through. - The clinic’s broker, Westin Kane of Mid-America, responded the next day, and the lease followed shortly after.

What's next: - Midwest Express Clinic is preparing to open its Humboldt Park location in October 2026. - Chicago Kedzie Plaza is positioned to build on leasing momentum as Humboldt Park continues to see investment and growth. - Matanky Realty Group will continue representing the landlord at the center.

The bottom line: - Chicago Kedzie Plaza is now fully occupied, and the addition of Midwest Express Clinic broadens the center’s mix while giving West Side residents another accessible care option.
