Locate Your Business in Downtown Bloomington

Downtown Bloomington is the cultural center of the City of Bloomington, a growing and vibrant county seat community in the heart of Central Illinois. In addition to being a work and play destination, Downtown is increasingly a place called home for millennials and empty nesters in our many recently renovated loft apartments throughout Downtown.

With major venues including the Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts, Grossinger Motors Arena, and The Castle Theatre, and more than twenty art studios and galleries, Downtown Bloomington is the region’s arts and entertainment destination!

Downtown’s many historic buildings create a charming and easily walkable urban environment while offering numerous opportunities for new businesses to join our successful mix of existing specialty retail, dining, and professional service offerings.
