New investment in our primary commercial corridors has brought development such as Wilson Yard, with one of the busiest Target stores in the Chicago region.

No wonder - businesses in Uptown benefit from a large customer base at all times of day and night: thousands of professionals from our colleges, hospitals and nonprofit agencies grabbing lunch or shopping, concert-goers looking for dinner or drinks with their show, 20,000 students at Truman College seeking class materials or a snack and, of course, a large and diverse group of residents seeking the convenience of shopping locally.

“We like where the neighborhood is going and how

diverse the community is. Everyone is really

friendly and it hasn't taken us long to build a solid 

client base like the one we left in Lakeview. I would

definitely encourage others to bring their business to Uptown. They won’t be disappointed.”

- Adel Shaw, Spoil Me Salon & Spa

Businesses in Uptown also benefit from our active business community and

Special Service Area, which provides 7-day a week street and sidewalk cleaning as well as marketing activities and beautification initiatives.

With three El stations, easy access to Lake Shore Drive putting downtown just minutes away, and multiple heavily-used bus routes, getting to Uptown couldn’t be easier for customers and employees. Still, Uptown’s commercial rates are significantly lower than adjacent neighborhoods, giving you access to customers from Lakeview, Andersonville and Ravenswood at a fraction of the price.
