Invest in Downtown Elgin

The foundation has been laid for Elgin's renaissance as a strong regional city within the greater Chicago metropolitan area.  Since 2000, over $120 million has been committed to investments in Downtown Elgin. Confidence in the downtown neighborhood's future abounds.

These investments include Riverfront improvements, Festival Park, and The Centre. We are in the first year of five year plan to replace water mains, resurface the streets and create new streetscapes throughout the downtown. Two major residential developments are creating a 24/7 presence. 

With the historic character and the natural beauty of the Fox River, Downtown Elgin is a unique and fast-growing opportunity for commercial and retail businesses.  If you are interested in setting up shop or investing in property, check our Properties page under the Work category.
