The Chicago Bears continue their site selection process for a new stadium with the release of sample renderings of amenities within a potential Hammond site. In the works for multiple years now, the multi-billion-dollar team is still refining plans for a partially publicly funded facility and district as the end of their lease at Soldier Field looms.
The final piece of zoning has been approved for the upcoming residential development at 1201 West Kinzie Street in the West Loop. Sitting at the intersection with North Racine Street and bound by the Metra tracks to the south, the low-rise project has been in the works for just over a year and already received approval from City Council back in May.
Details and renderings have been revealed for the potential stadium redevelopment known as The Railyards adjacent to the South Loop. The plans are being led by the future owner of the Chicago White Sox, Justin Ishbia, who envisions a new stadium complex set to replace a majority of the existing Amtrak railyard along the Chicago River and across from McDonald’s Park.
A revised timeline and further details have been revealed for the next phase of the massive ORDNext program across O’Hare International Airport. The shift in timeline comes as the airport continues to see record levels of traffic and delays due to gate availability and weather disruptions. The changes in phasing will allow for more gates to open earlier.
Funding has been secured for the upcoming mixed-use development at 7 West Elm Street in the Gold Coast. Sitting on the corner with North State Street, the new high-rise will replace a two-story commercial structure which is currently being demolished. Efforts for the project are being led by developer Newcastle along with architecture firm Goettsch Partners.
