Buying, selling, or leasing commercial property in Highland Park? Jason Bitton is the #1 RE/MAX Commercial broker in Illinois — a North Shore specialist based in nearby Libertyville — working Highland Park's retail, office, and mixed-use market firsthand, from the downtown Central Avenue core and Ravinia to the Route 41 commercial corridor.
Highland Park is one of the Chicago North Shore's most affluent and established communities, with a commercial base built around walkable retail, professional and medical office, and mixed-use rather than heavy industrial. Demand centers on the downtown Central Business District — revitalized by Renaissance Place — the Ravinia district near the famous festival grounds, and the Route 41 corridor. As a built-out Lake County market, well-located commercial space is scarce and holds value.
Highland Park regulates commercial property through a set of B-series business districts plus the RO residential/office district and a single, very limited "I" industrial district. Knowing which one governs an address — before you sign an LOI — keeps a North Shore opening on schedule. Here is how the common uses generally map.
Use mappings vary by specific district and use, so confirm any address directly against the city code before you commit — or use the Commercial Zoning Lookup and tell Jason what you're trying to open.
Highland Park's scarce, value-holding commercial inventory rewards a broker who knows the North Shore's micro-markets. Jason identifies the properties with the most upside and connects sellers with buyers who see the same opportunity — with a senior broker, not a junior associate, on every deal.
