Downtown Aurora’s historic buildings are its greatest asset — and its biggest opportunity. Whether you want to open a shop, buy a building, or redevelop a storefront, the Aurora Downtown Project can help you find the space, the people, and the resources to make it happen.
Available spaces downtown
Looking for a storefront, office, or building to buy or lease downtown? We keep an eye on what’s coming available and can connect you with property owners.
-
Find a space
Tell us what you’re looking for — size, use, buy or lease — and we’ll help match you with downtown property.
-
List your property
Own a downtown building with space to fill? Send us the details and we’ll help spread the word.
A searchable listing of available downtown spaces is in the works — for now, reach out and we’ll make the connection personally.
Façade & building improvement
Improving a storefront’s exterior lifts the whole block. ADP works to support façade and building improvements downtown and can help you understand what’s available:
- Guidance on sympathetic improvements that fit downtown’s historic character.
- Information on façade and building-improvement grant and incentive programs as they become available through ADP, the City, and Missouri Main Street.
- Connections to contractors and designers who have worked on downtown buildings.
Have a façade or building project in mind? Start a conversation and we’ll walk you through current options.
Grants, incentives & guidance
You don’t have to navigate it alone. These partners help downtown businesses and developers with funding, planning, and know-how:
- ADP Economic Vitality Committee — meets monthly and would love to talk through your idea or building.
- City of Aurora Community Development — planning, permits, and local incentives.
- Missouri SBDC at MSSU — free business planning and financing guidance.
- Missouri Main Street Connection — statewide grants, training, and technical assistance.
