About Downtown

Evanston

Downtown Evanston, located between Lake Michigan and the North Shore Channel, is a lakefront and transit-oriented Evanston neighborhood with a walkable street grid and a skyline of mid-rise towers. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Sherman Avenue and Davis Street, where indie boutiques, coffee counters, and late-night bites spill out beneath theater marquees. The SPACE, the Evanston Art Center, and the historic Evanston Theatre anchor the cultural calendar. Brick courtyard apartments and newer glass-and-steel buildings share blocks with restored storefronts. The Davis CTA station and Metra platforms set a commuter rhythm, while the lakefront parks pull the streets eastward. Sidewalk patios and gallery windows keep the pace urban without losing the college-town edge.

Downtown Transition District

The D4 downtown transition district is intended to provide for business infill development and redevelopment within downtown Evanston. The massing and scale of structures within the D4 district should be reflective of established uses and should provide suitable transition between downtown districts and those districts adjacent to the downtown. The district is also intended to encourage and sustain a mix of office, retail, and residential uses. Planned developments are encouraged as a special use in the D4 district. Where a lot zoned D4 is overlaid with an oRD redevelopment overlay district designation, a planned development is required in order to ensure that proposed development in these areas is consistent with the objectives and policies of the adopted plan for downtown Evanston.

Permitted uses

Include but are not limited to:

Bank
General retail
Restaurant
Housing
Infrastructure
Hotel / motel
Mixed use
