Elgin Commons, a new, 46-acre mixed-use development featuring approximately 300,000 square feet of retail space and a 125-key hotel, is set to be developed in Elgin. The $250 million project currently includes a national restaurant breakfast chain, a national automotive repair operator, and a medical developer with additional retail and service offerings available.

The Elgin Commons, backed by American Ventures, is expected to break ground on 12 pad sites in the third quarter of 2026. Upon completion, Elgin Commons is projected to generate approximately 400 permanent jobs and to create an estimated $5 million in ad valorem tax revenue annually, in addition to substantial ongoing sales tax revenue from future businesses operating within the development.

Elgin has experienced significant population growth in recent years and is projected to grow approximately 40% by 2029. The city currently has an estimated $45 million in commercial development planned, with 15,000 homes underway.
