Edgewater Provides the Data – A New Tool in Business Attraction

Edgewater Development Corporation launches a glossy new  “Welcome to Edgewater” brochure – a tool packed with valuable resources for developers, commercial brokers, property owners, businesses and residents who want to know – why businesses  should  be attracted to Edgewater and where they can find local resources to help businesses grow and succeed.

Highlights include current demographic information for Edgewater, its Trade Area, and the one-mile, three-mile and five-mile radius.  Edgewater’s lakefront location, proximity to downtown, and convenient transportation options on the Red Line ‘L’ plus the many bus lines, afford amenities and conveniences that residents appreciate every day.  Edgewater offers a variety of business districts, from medium-size retail along Broadway and North Clark Street, to compact and pedestrian friendly spaces in Andersonville and along Foster, Berwyn, Bryn Mawr, Thorndale, Granville and Devon Avenues.

Our attractive historic residential neighborhoods of single-family homes and two-flats, plus densely populated Kenmore – Winthrop and the high-rises along Sheridan Road, offers a population density twice that of Lincoln Park. Edgewater residents spend more than $500 million annually outside the area, indicating opportunity for new ventures to join with our well-established local businesses. 

Edgewater Development’s President, Tina Travlos Nihlean, remarks “Edgewater is a destination lakefront community with a rich history, strategic location, and high traffic counts. Our densely populated market has a diverse shopper base with a high interest in unique businesses. Invest in your future by investing in Edgewater.”

Edgewater Development offers additional tools to new businesses, including its Small Business Program that provides expert training in developing and supporting new businesses.

Easy access to all the data is available by obtaining a convenient wallet-sized ‘Welcome to Edgewater’ business card which has a quick read code, website link, and phone number.
