Renting Retail Space in Evanston

Evanston is one of the most desirable submarkets in all of Chicago. With a highly educated workforce, a robust arts scene, and a diverse population that infuses the city with a unique spirit, Evanston provides businesses with unique opportunities that are difficult to match elsewhere in the Greater Chicagoland market.

One of the biggest draws for talent into Evanston businesses is the city’s many commuting options. The CTA’s Purple L line serves Evanston throughout the day as do several bus routes. Employees living in the outlying sections of the Greater Chicago area also have access to the Metra light rail system and its Davis Street and Central Street stations.

Evanston’s many amenities are another powerful tool for attracting talent into the city’s businesses. Employees have convenient access to numerous restaurants that range from fine dining to fast food and everything in between. Both Old Orchard Mall and Lincolnwood Town Center are just a few miles from the heart of Evanston and give workers convenient access to retail, dining, and entertainment options. Downtown Evanston is well-known for its combination of eclectic shops and diverse restaurants.

Evanston also boasts one of the strongest art scenes in all of Chicago with many museums and exhibits throughout the year. Its lakefront location and many neighborhood parks give employees access to plenty of green space and recreational areas. Northwestern University is in Evanston as well and provides companies with a well-educated and young employee base.
