The Association

We are the beating heart of the city and state, representing a collective power of businesses driving the region's economy. With more consumer spend than any other neighborhood, we speak as one when it comes to our district's well-being. Since 1912, the Magnificent Mile Association (previously the North Central Business District Association) has nurtured this beloved District and has helped to transform the boulevard from Oak Street on the north to Randolph Street and Millennium Park on the south and the surrounding District. Today, we stand as a leading tourist destination and the source of 21% of the city's jobs. Over 121,000 residents thrive within our borders, a testament to our vibrant and dynamic community.
