Businesses

The City of Northlake is the right choice for your new business location. From our enviable transportation services to our qualified and skilled workforce, Northlake has everything needed to become the ideal partner for incoming businesses. 

The City of Northlake is ideally situated for convenient access. Located 14 miles west of downtown Chicago at the border of Cook and DuPage County, Northlake is bordered by the Tri-State Tollway (294), the Eisenhower Expressway (290), North Avenue (Rt. 64), and Mannheim Road. O’Hare International Airport is just 8 miles away.

The southern border of the City is home to the Union Pacific Railyard. Among the many businesses that call Northlake home are Microsoft, Sun Chemical, Scholle, Champion Transportation, American Bottling, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Sam’s Club, and many more. Office and warehouse space is available in the City of Northlake for your company’s consideration.

The City of Northlake:

  • Is part of the greater Chicago area, which has a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of over $300 billion–larger than Taiwan or Switzerland.
  • Has a qualified and available workforce across all skill levels.
  • Has universal access to customers and suppliers – 50% of the North American industrial economy is within one day’s truck delivery.
  • Is part of a pivotal transportation hub: a non-stop global gateway to 60 international business capitals is only 8 miles away at O’Hare International Airport, and is part of the only location where all North American Class I railroads interchange.
