FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | June 15, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CHICAGO\u2014<\/strong>Today, Chicago Loop Alliance (CLA) released its May report on downtown activity, using a variety of data sources to Operaciones en las v\u00edas durante la COVID-19<\/a>, as it has done monthly since July 2020. The report tracks COVID-19 positivity rates, pedestrian activity, parking volumes, hotel occupancy, number of office workers on-site and more. The data indicates that hotel occupancy has reached a record high, along with pedestrians edging closer to pre-pandemic levels, and office occupancy stabilizing. View the full May report here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the unofficial start to summer commences with warmer temperatures, increased worker activity, a hefty leisure travel season, and increased transportation modalities like biking and e-scooters, the continuation of a strong recovery in the Loop was visible for May. Several key metrics achieved weekly or monthly record highs \u2013 hotel occupancy monthly average surpassed its previous record at 71.3 percent of 2019 levels; pedestrians continue to exceed one million pedestrian counts each week on State Street in the Loop; and office occupancy maintained levels consistent with April data throughout the month. Pedestrian activity is one of the leading metrics with a peak of 75.8 percent, supported by the return of more office workers and major spring and summer events, while office occupancy began to plateau around 44 percent as offices and workers managed increased COVID-19 cases, and other potential impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSummer is nearly here and we are pleased by the pulse of activity in the Loop in May \u2013 office workers, residents, and students are still leading the charge for recovery, but we are also seeing an increase in tourism that is hopeful,\u201d said Michael Edwards, President and CEO of Chicago Loop Alliance. \u201cWith major initiatives like Chicago Returns Week, and major events such as Sue\u00f1os Music Festival, the Memorial Day Parade, and several concerts at Soldier Field, the Chicago Loop is positioned to see a continual recovery throughout the summer and rest of the year, especially with events like Chicago Loop Alliance\u2019s ACTIVAR<\/a> y Los domingos en State<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actividad de peatones
<\/strong>Continuing April\u2019s trend, State Street in the Loop saw increased pedestrian traffic throughout the month of May. State Street had an average monthly recovery rate of 69.4 percent of 2019 levels for May with over one million pedestrians counts each week between Ida B. Wells and Wacker Drive. The month of May performed 66.1 percent better than the same period measured in 2021. Additionally, Michigan Avenue at both the Wacker and Washington intersections experienced increase pedestrian traffic. This month, Michigan Avenue in the Loop nearly doubled pedestrian activity compared to May 2021.w<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warmer weather and downtown events including the Sue\u00f1os Music Festival and Memorial Day Parade contributed to the boost in pedestrian counts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the launch of Divvy e-scooters in May, the summer is poised to encourage innovative, affordable, and environmentally conscious transportation options for Chicagoans and the Loop,\u201d said Gia Biagi, Commissioner of the Chicago Department of Transportation. \u201cMicromobility solutions, like e-scooters, create a thriving and forward-thinking Loop economy that better connects people to jobs, services, and recreational spaces.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPedestrian traffic has increased tremendously over the past month,\u201d said Candace Mason, Team Leader of the Chicago Loop Alliance Ambassadors. \u201cIt\u2019s nice to see the Loop, specifically State Street, returning to a busy atmosphere.  I am looking forward to the summer months ahead, and a first-hand view of summertime in Chicago with the pandemic nearing the horizon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La ocupaci\u00f3n hotelera
<\/strong>Hotels in the Chicago Loop reached their highest recovery rate yet at 71.3 percent of 2019 levels. This notable increase surpassed the 70 percent occupancy rate seen in December due to the holidays, and signals demand is increasing from leisure and business travelers. We suspect the trend to continue with summer events like Sue\u00f1os Music Festival and Memorial Day weekend, along with other upcoming programming throughout the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ubicaci\u00f3n de las oficinas
<\/strong>Si bien las tasas de recuperaci\u00f3n siempre se mantienen por debajo del 50 por ciento, la actividad empresarial se ve impulsada por un aumento en los eventos presenciales y el mejor clima. Adem\u00e1s, en mayo se alcanz\u00f3 un m\u00e1ximo de 44 por ciento de la ocupaci\u00f3n de oficinas de 2019. La tasa promedio mensual de recuperaci\u00f3n se ha duplicado desde la tasa de mayo pasado, que era de solo 23 por ciento. Mayo comenz\u00f3 fuerte con la Semana de Retornos de Chicago, animando a los trabajadores a desplazarse al centro de la ciudad y disfrutar del distrito comercial central tanto para trabajar como para pasar el tiempo libre. De nuevo, el fin de semana del D\u00eda del Memorial probablemente contribuy\u00f3 a la peque\u00f1a ca\u00edda en las tasas de ocupaci\u00f3n en comparaci\u00f3n con abril.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las organizaciones contin\u00faan invirtiendo en el Loop, incluyendo el reciente aumento del espacio de oficinas para la firma de trading IMC. Estas tasas de recuperaci\u00f3n est\u00e1n en l\u00ednea con otras ciudades importantes como Nueva York, Los \u00c1ngeles y Washington, D.C., pero siguen estando por debajo de otras metr\u00f3polis como Austin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring Chicago Returns Week, we celebrated the return to downtown, and welcomed tenants back to the office with outdoor public activations, promotional discounts, and a well-received social media campaign,\u201d said Farzin Parang, Executive Director of BOMA\/Chicago. \u201cMore than 50 downtown buildings participated in the campaign, by lighting up the skyline blue and hosting tenant events, including prize giveaways; live music; and happy hours. While Chicago vuelve a la semana<\/a> Aunque pueda parecer que todo haya terminado, las amplias comodidades que se ofrecen en nuestros edificios y en nuestro hermoso centro urbano, junto con una gran variedad de restaurantes, instituciones culturales y hermosos espacios al aire libre, est\u00e1n disponibles durante todo el a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afluencia de pasajeros de CTA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al alcanzar el 52,5 por ciento de los niveles de 2019, las tasas de pasaje de la CTA registraron un ligero aumento en la demanda en abril de 2022 en comparaci\u00f3n con el 50,8 por ciento de marzo, y alcanzaron su nivel m\u00e1s alto de pasajeros durante la pandemia, al llegar al 57,1 por ciento durante la semana del 18 de abril. El mes de marzo y abril revelan una tendencia prometedora de mejora en el n\u00famero de pasajeros tras una ca\u00edda significativa en las tasas de recuperaci\u00f3n a finales de diciembre de 2021 y enero de 2022 debido a la variante Omicron. Se observa un aumento en el n\u00famero de pasajeros en los trenes, con un mejoramiento diario de las desplazaciones que asciende a una media de 277.309 viajes diarios durante el mes de abril. A t\u00edtulo anecd\u00f3tico, los trabajadores de Loop han reportado un aumento en el n\u00famero de pasajeros en los autobuses y los trenes en toda la ciudad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afluencia de pasajeros de Metra
<\/strong>La tasa de recuperaci\u00f3n de Metra en abril alcanz\u00f3 el 30 por ciento de los niveles de 2019. Aunque hubo una ligera disminuci\u00f3n con respecto a la tasa de recuperaci\u00f3n de marzo, del 35,4 por ciento de los niveles de 2019, abril a\u00fan muestra una promesa de que la afluencia de pasajeros de Metra continuar\u00e1 aumentando durante los meses de verano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metra report\u00f3 seis d\u00edas con m\u00e1s de 100,000 pasajeros durante abril, superando el r\u00e9cord del mes anterior. El aumento de la ocupaci\u00f3n de los locales probablemente influy\u00f3 en el continuo crecimiento de la demanda de pasajeros de Metra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reservas de estacionamiento y garajes<\/strong>
Seguindo a tendencia de 2022, las reservas de estacionamiento en mayo siempre estuvieron por encima de la demanda de estacionamiento de 2019. Con una tasa mensual promedio del 147,4 por ciento, las reservas de estacionamiento reflejan un aumento de la demanda de servicios de estacionamiento en el \u00e1rea del Loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los garajes de estacionamiento mejoraron desde abril, con un promedio mensual que aument\u00f3 del 61% al 87% de los niveles de 2019. Esto puede deberse a un aumento en los eventos en el centro de la ciudad, junto con el regreso de m\u00e1s trabajadores a sus oficinas. Equilibrar estas dos realidades puede resultar en una mayor demanda de estacionamiento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Para aquellos trabajadores de Loop que contin\u00faan regresando al centro de la ciudad, la Chicago Loop Alliance ha creado un kit de herramientas para volver al trabajo que se puede encontrar en LoopChicago.com\/BackToOffice<\/a>. The toolkit includes insider tips for working downtown in the Loop for those who never left, as well as those who are returning or want to stay in the know. Find useful information on how to safely get downtown; what\u2019s new in the Loop; what the Loop looks like these days; lunch and happy hour spots; and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
