Glenview, Illinois Commercial Real Estate
Buying, selling, or leasing commercial property in Glenview? Jason Bitton is the #1 RE/MAX Commercial broker in Illinois — based in Libertyville, about 25 minutes away, a North Shore commercial specialist who knows Glenview’s unusual code cold, from the D-D downtown form-based district to The Glen’s MURC and S/L/E zoning and the Glenbrook Hospital medical corridor.
The Glenview Commercial Market
Glenview is one of the North Shore’s most affluent and economically diverse commercial markets, anchored by The Glen — the master-planned mixed-use redevelopment of the former Glenview Naval Air Station — and a sophisticated downtown along the Metra Milwaukee District North line. The village’s commercial corridors span Waukegan Road, Willow Road, Lake Avenue, and Glenview Road, with major employers including Glenbrook Hospital and a deep base of corporate, professional, and service-sector tenants.

What Can You Open in Glenview?
Glenview regulates commercial property through ten non-residential districts — three business (B-1, B-2, B-3), one downtown form-based code (D-D), two Glen-specific districts (MURC and S/L/E), one hospital district (H-1), two industrial (I-1, I-2), and one public lands (P-1). Two structural features make Glenview unusual: the D-D downtown code regulates building form, and the MURC and S/L/E districts were custom-designed for The Glen.
B-1 Limited Business, B-2 General Business, and B-3 cover the standard retail and service mix, while D-D Downtown Development is a form-based code regulating building lines, step-backs, and street frontages along Glenview and Waukegan Roads — not just permitted uses.
MURC Mixed Use Retail Center allows residential up to 36 units per acre above ground-floor active uses, and S/L/E Sports/Leisure/Entertainment allows venues up to 7,000 seats — together forming the North Shore’s only true master-planned commercial district.
H-1 Hospital and Medical District (15-acre minimum) anchors the Glenbrook Hospital corridor; I-1 Limited Commercial and I-2 Light Industrial cover flex and light-industrial uses; and P-1 Public Lands rounds out the code.
Glenview’s code is layered and form-driven, so confirm any specific address against the village code before you commit — or use the Commercial Zoning Lookup and tell Jason what you’re trying to open.
