Overall<strong>, investment in new construction and renewed uses of existing Loop property totaled $673 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the last year, 18% of Chicago property buyers have been local while 29% of sellers have been from outside of the United States, indicating a renewed interest in local buying (CoStar). This has shown up in the Loop with local purchases of 227 S. State, 133 S. State, and the Thompson Center\u2019s local redevelopment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Office and commercial vacancies in the Loop, which have increased since 2020, began to level off in Q2 2026; and properties in the Loop are on the leasing market approximately the same amount of time as they were in Q2 2025. This includes new multi-floor office leases from Huntington Bank and law firm Vedder Price. Office occupancy stayed <strong>at an average of 101<\/strong>% <strong>of 2024 levels<\/strong> in April and May, showing that hybrid work trends are here to stay in the Loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Momentum in the LaSalle corridor continues, as three residential buildings are under construction as a part of the LaSalle Corridor Revitalization Initiative. Along with these city-funded projects, there are 19 other privately funded downtown conversions planned\u2014more than the last 20 years combined. In total, these projects will bring nearly <strong>4,000 new residential units and over $1.67 billion in investment <\/strong>to the Loop (Department of Planning and Development).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Arts and Culture<br><\/strong>Arts and culture event and venue visitors contributed <strong>over $395 million to the economy in Q2, representing a 20%<\/strong> <strong>increase <\/strong>from Q2 2025. As summer festival season began, the Loop\u2019s arts and culture events and venues saw <strong>nearly 1.5 million visitors <\/strong>in Q2.
