You're making quite a leap to assume that businesses are migrating from the Loop to the new developments. If anything, those tenants are coming from outside Chicago. McDonald's and vendors from the suburbs, ADM corporate staff from Peoria, and if we're lucky, Amazon from Seattle. This new ring around the Loop is only going to expand the business district with some parts becoming truly 24-hour zones of residential, business, and commercial activity.
