5200 Durand Avenue was a restaurant building on the northwest corner of Durand Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue in Racine, Wisconsin, on an outparcel of the Regency Mall development next to Target T-152. The building was constructed for Chi-Chi's #459,[1] which opened to the public on October 22, 1984.[2] The restaurant closed on September 19, 2004 after Chi-Chi's became bankrupt and was bought by Outback Steakhouse.[3]

The building was demolished in 2008,[4] and the location has been vacant land since then. The site has seen temporary uses, such as a Halloween Express store set up in an inflatable tent in the restaurant's former parking lot in October 2014.[5]

Adams Outdoor Advertising applied for a permit to construct a billboard on the site in August 2013, which was denied without a public hearing. Adams sued the city for allegedly violating its ordinances on hearings, and although the suit was dismissed, the company was granted a public hearing, where the permit was once again denied in September 2014. City Plan Commission members expressed concerns that allowing a billboard at the mall would set a bad precedent that would allow more billboards to proliferate in the area.[6] The city ultimately agreed in May 2015 to allow Adams to construct the new billboard, on the condition that it remove three of its existing 44[6] billboards in Racine.[7]

The property was one of the few Regency Mall outparcels that was included in CBL & Associates's initial sale of the mall to Hull Property Group in December 2016.[8]
