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.

Plans have been revealed for the residential conversion of the mixed-use building at 212 East Ohio Street in Streeterville. Located mid-block between North St. Clair Street to the west and North Fairbanks Court to the east, the small building contains a restaurant on the ground floor as well as office space on the upper floors, which currently has a high vacancy rate.
