New docks are afloat and pile work continues for the new marina at Navy Pier. A new dock stretches from the west end of the pier out toward the open waters of Lake Michigan, with shorter piers, all of which have now been installed, jutting out at angles toward the water filtration plant across the body of water.
Construction has officially kicked off on the upcoming Navy Pier Marina located along the north side of the pier at roughly 848 E Grand Avenue. After almost a decade in development, the project cleared its final hurdles with the city earlier this year after being delayed by the previous mayor. We now have a potential opening date and additional rendering.
Construction is set to start later this year for the Navy Pier Marina located along the north side of the pier at roughly 848 E Grand Avenue.

Plans for the Navy Pier Marina are set to move forward on the north side of the famed pier structure in Streeterville. Located at roughly 848 E Grand Avenue, the project has been in the works for years as part of the greater modernization efforts for the pier as it pivots for the next generation. Dubbed the Navy Pier Marina, the project is being led by NPM Ventures LLC and its founder Randy Podolsky.
With McHugh Construction leading the work as general contractor, construction has begun for a new indoor ride at Navy Pier called FlyOver (different from the Navy Pier Flyover infrastructure project), which will occupy 48,000 square feet. The project will occupy a 60-foot-high, 80-f0ot-wide volume of space that previously served as an IMAX theater.
