The Arlington 425 project in downtown Arlington Heights has recently received a six-month construction-related extension from the Village Board. The extension, approved on April 15, extends the deadline for the proposed mixed-use development from May 3 to November 3. The development will eventually contain a combined total of 319 residential units and approximately 7,500 square feet of commercial space alongside 479 parking spots.
In a recent NFL owners meeting, Chicago Bears president and CEO Kevin Warren declared his intentions on keeping the teams stadium on the lakefront, saying, “The plan will be to put a shovel in the ground on the lakefront,” according to a recent Athletic article.
The Chicago Bears have announced the purchase of the land needed for their potential move to 2200 Euclid Avenue in Arlington Heights. Located on the nexus of Highways 14 and 53 roughly 28 miles northwest of their current home of Soldier Field, the team is nearing the end of a multi-year negotiation on where to call home with the City of Chicago and the state. The mixed-use megaproject is being led by the team itself and their president along with San Francisco based design-firm Hart Howerton.
Initial details have been revealed for the potential sports and entertainment complex for the Chicago Bears at 2200 Euclid Avenue in Arlington Heights. Located just south of the intersection of Highway 14 and 53, the proposal will replace the now-closed Arlington International Racecourse if the team chooses to pursue its departure from Soldier Field downtown. The Bears and their soon retiring president Ted Phillips are working with San Francisco-based architects Hart Howerton on the conceptual masterplan.
