The Navy Pier Marina opened over Father’s Day Weekend on the north side of the pier. There remains work to be done on the containerized amenities building, but boats have begun using the marina as a stopping point on their excursions through Chicago’s waterways.
The containerized amenities building that will anchor the Navy Pier Marina is being assembled on the north side of Chicago’s top tourist destination. The two-story container structure was built off site, then trucked to the marina last week. It was designed by Town Studios of Northbrook, with S.I. Container Builds as the general contractor for its assembly.
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. Nearly a decade in development, the new addition to the pier has finally received all of the necessary city approvals in order to move forward. The project is being led by NPM Ventures LLC and its founder Randy Podolsky.
