Farpoint Development and MCZ Development have signed T.J. Maxx for a 26,000-square-foot, ground-level space at 939 W. North Ave., a 200,000 square foot building located at the southeast corner of North Avenue and Sheffield Avenue in Chicago.
MCZ Development has begun a complete modernization of the building constructed in 2002, which will include a new façade and building systems, modern amenities and infrastructure, as well as an enhanced retail presence, with impressive floor-to-ceiling windows. T.J. Maxx is set to open in Q3 2026.
“We’re thrilled to welcome T.J. Maxx to 939 W.

It confirms what we knew all along: our property is a gateway to Lincoln Park’s premier retail corridor.”
“Our team has loved the property and believed in its ability to revitalize the North Sheffield corridor ever since we first walked the space. With its perfect blend of commercial, medical, and office tenants, plus the addition of T.J. Maxx to that mix, we’re excited for how our upcoming modernization plans will enhance the area’’s future,” said Curt Bettiker, managing partner of North Sheffield LLC.
