The Chicago Loop Alliance (CLA) represents Chicago's most dynamic mixed-use district and serves the rapidly growing central business area. CLA advocates for Chicago's most appealing historic and contemporary architecture, mainstay retail stores, restaurants, residences, hospitality and entertainment as well as a number of high profile and respected educational and cultural institutions.

CLA was formed in 2005 through the merger of the Greater State Street Council and the Central Michigan Avenue Association. Bordered by Dearborn on the west, Lake Michigan on the east, and Wacker drive on the north, CLA's 40-block service area extends south to Congress along Wabash, State and Dearborn, and to Roosevelt along Michigan Avenue.

The majority of our members are merchants, hotels, banks, restaurants, institutions, real estate companies, not-for-profits, theatres, museums, utilities and others doing business in the Loop. We are proud to have individuals and entities from outside of this district who are either personally or professionally interested in this historic sector of the city.
