The Uptown neighborhood is an historic area of Chicago that, with the help of projects like Uptown Square, is experiencing a resurgence of new retail, residential, and economic growth. Area amenities include an elevated commuter rail platform directly across the street from the project, numerous retailers, restaurants, entertainment, and financial institutions. The neighborhood is home to the famous Green Mill Jazz Club, the historic Uptown Theater and Uptown Bank Building, the Aragon Ballroom, and the Riviera Theater. Both the residents and the City are trying to continue the development momentum to keep the neighborhood on its current upward trajectory.
