2034 North Racine Avenue

The Chicago Park District has released the first iteration of its framework plan for the future of Grant Park in The Loop. Bounded by East Randolph Street to the north and East Roosevelt Road to the south, the 319-acre park is commonly known as “Chicago’s Front Yard.” The plan outlines a vision for how the city could remodel and expand the park in the coming years.

Additional renderings have been revealed for the upcoming mixed-use high-rise at 23 South Sangamon Street in the West Loop, now known as Marielle On The Park. Earlier this week, we covered the project as it pivoted to a new design and program from its previous iteration, and now said revised proposal has received approval from the Chicago Plan Commission.
