THE CHICAGO AUTO SHOW RETURNS:
THE LARGEST AUTO SHOW IN NORTH AMERICA
Chicago’s rich industrial history and cultural significance make it the perfect host city for the Chicago Auto Show. As the largest and longestrunning auto show in North America, it has become the nation’s premier event for car enthusiasts. The 2025 show is just around the corner, promising another spectacular showcase of the latest innovations in the automotive world.
Taking place at McCormick Place, the largest convention center in North America, the show will run from February 8th to 17th, with a special preview gala, the First Look for Charity, on February 7th. Known for its expansive exhibits, interactive displays, and world debuts, the Chicago Auto Show consistently attracts over 300,000 visitors each year.
First held in 1901 at the Chicago Coliseum, the Chicago Auto Show is one of the oldest automotive exhibitions in the world. Over its 120+ years, it has grown into a premier event, serving as a definitive showcase for the latest in automotive design and technology.
This year’s event promises an exciting lineup, with several global debuts already confirmed, including the highly anticipated 2025 Acura ADX and the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9.

Top brands such as Aston Martin, Cadillac, Lexus, Jeep, and Maserati will feature prominently in the exhibits, presenting a wide range of vehicles—from cutting-edge concepts and electric vehicles (EVs) to high-performance supercars.
Several unique attractions set the Chicago Auto Show apart. Visitors can test drive a wide range of vehicles, including off-road models at Camp Jeep and Ford Built Wild and electric vehicles on Chicago Drives Electric’s two dedicated EV tracks. Specialized exhibits like Overlanding Chicago will cater to outdoor enthusiasts and adventure seekers, while the Family Zone offers interactive activities and displays for children aged 2 to 16.
The First Look for Charity gala is one of the show’s signature events. This black-tie fundraiser offers early access to the show’s exhibits while benefiting Chicago-area nonprofits. Attendees will enjoy champagne, hors d’oeuvres, desserts, and live entertainment in an elegant setting. Since its inception, this event has raised millions for local charities.

ABOUT JEFF OSUJI
Mr. Osuji, a local broker with Kale Realty, came to CIC in 2020 looking to acquire his first multifamily investment property. Building on his experience rehabbing and selling several two- and three-flats for home ownership, Mr. Osuji was ready to leverage his portfolio and purchase a six-unit rental building in Chicago’s Chatham community. He was eager to take the plunge from single-family to multifamily. He explains, “I learn by doing. I’ve learned about multifamily property investment and management by just jumping in and doing it. And learning from other people with vast experience.” To that end, Mr. Osuji actually purchased the Chatham property from an existing, long-time CIC borrower who owns and manages over 500 units throughout Chicago neighborhoods. He also retained the seller as property manager. This unique relationship has allowed Mr. Osuji to not only learn the ins-and-outs of this particular building, but also gain experience in property management overall, including building maintenance and tenant screening.
