Chicago Loop, Central business district in Chicago, United States
The Chicago Loop spans 1.58 square miles, making it the second-largest commercial district in North America after Midtown Manhattan.
Following the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the Loop transformed from a mixed-use neighborhood into a commercial center with early skyscrapers.
The Art Institute of Chicago and Chicago Symphony Orchestra reside in the Loop, offering performances and exhibitions throughout the year.
Multiple transit networks connect the Loop, including Chicago L trains, bus rapid transit, and Metra services for efficient transportation.
The Loop population increased by 158 percent between 2000 and 2020 as industrial spaces converted into residential developments.
