The Algonquin Commons provides Algonquin with 1,700 jobs and over $1 million in sales tax revenue. [1] The Algonquin Commons was built by Jeffrey R. Anderson, the same developer who built the Geneva Commons, which is located in Geneva, Illinois. In early 2013, U.S. Bank filed to foreclose on Algonquin Commons after then-owner Inland Properties ceased payments. [2] The property is now owned by McKinley.

The Commons is also notable for its chic, upscale appearance, including outdoor lighting, lush landscaping, sidewalks and brick pavers to connect the various buildings in the center, outdoor music, individually designed storefronts, benches, and a number of special events held throughout the year, including public art displays, celebrity guest appearances, summer concerts, the Touch-a-Truck event, and horse-drawn carriage rides during the holidays.
