VICINIT Y OF DOWNTOWN EVANSTON
Downtown Evanston is the commercial center for
Chicago’s North Shore, with one-of-a kind shops, diverse
entertainment, incredible restaurants, offices and
condominiums. The area has experienced unprecedented
development and redevelopment within the last decade.
New developments have included residential and retail
components, resulting in the construction of nearly 4,317
condo units since 2000. 561 residential units are currently
under construction. In addition, the downtown remains
a workforce center, employing over 10,000 people and
housing the World Headquarters of Rotary International.
Easily accessible via CTA Purple line and Metra, many of
the daily commuters use these systems as their main form
of transportation to and from Evanston. Evanston is also conveniently located just 30
minutes from O’Hare International Airport and 45 minutes from Midway International
Airport, making Evanston attractive to regional and international travelers.
Businesses are provided support by Downtown Evanston, which manages and
markets the downtown district of Evanston. In addition, the Evanston Chamber of
Commerce provides leadership and services for its members who represent the
thriving economy of Evanston. The City of Evanston’s Economic Development staff has
created an economic development work plan that focuses on arts & entertainment,
entrepreneurship development & growth oriented startups, as well as retail attraction
and retention. These entities work together to ensure Evanston provides the
infrastructure and vibrant economic environment businesses need to succeed.
