Clybourn Corridor

The Clybourn Corridor is a shopping district in Lincoln Park, stretching into the Near North Side in Chicago, Illinois. It serves as the residential Northside's main shopping district and includes retailers like Apple Inc., Crate & Barrel & CB2, Eddie Bauer, Forever 21, and Sur La Table, among many others. The newly opened New City shopping center includes Dick's Sporting Goods, while also having Chicago's first ArcLight Cinemas, a Kings Bowl, and Chicago's largest Mariano's grocery store. The development also includes a sleek-looking apartment tower featuring 199 units. This is part of a continuing trend of adding apartments and condos to the corridor in an effort to stem rising prices in the surrounding area.

The CTA Red Line stops in the heart of the shopping district at North/Clybourn. In a dual effort, Apple Inc. and the CTA redesigned a former bus turnaround separating the Apple Store and CTA Station into a pedestrian plaza with Parisian park chairs and a water feature. The plaza serves as a refuge from the chaotic Clybourn/Halsted/North intersection and has proven a popular meeting place for commuters and shoppers alike.
