City of Chicago to offers Web tool to help business scout real estate

September 26, 2011|By Wailin Wong | Tribune reporter

World Business Chicago, the city's economic development agency, introduced on Monday a Web-based mapping tool designed to help companies scout real estate in Chicago.

The tool, which is called Site Selector, combines a number of data layers and allows users to overlay particular features such as nearby universities, non-residential land owned by the city and incentive districts. Site Selector pulls in city data as well as commercial real estate listings from Rofo, whose information brokerages use. World Business Chicago said it expects to sign similar partnerships to add ore real estate inventory to the tool.
