Central Loop TIF

Designation: 1997    Expired: 2008


Chicago first TIF district, the Central Loop TIF initially targeted the redevelopment of nine full and partial blocks in the North Loop before it was expanded in 1997 to promote private investment on additional blocks to the east and south. Encompassing 139 acres, the district was intended to support property assembly efforts for major redevelopment projects while supporting targeted improvements that support mixed-use vitality within the cultural and economic center of the city. Priority projects included the construction of new office buildings and hotels, the rehabilitation of theaters and cultural venues, and the adaptation of older commercial space for residential, institutional and other uses. Funds from the district were also targeted to improve the area's transit facilities, open spaces, and streetscape amenities. The district expired in 2008.
