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.

A groundbreaking has been held for the upcoming Advocate Trinity Hospital at 8000 South Lake Shore Drive on the northern end of the future Quantum Park. The large vacant site sits on the corner with South Brandon Avenue, with the hospital structure occupying the eastern portion of the land. Efforts are being led by Advocate Health along with CannonDesign.
